But I think what alsaconf does is discoiver cards and write stuff to modprobe.conf. I don't think that's appropriate right now. I have barely used amixer as I mostly work with the HDSP which is supported by a different application. I think what's required here would be for Michael to dig into amixer a bit more and see what he can figure out about his device. As far as I can tell so far we have managed to get his drivers loaded. the snd-intel-hda is loaded. It shows up as card 0 and has an interrupt. This is immensley better than when I started readign this thread earlier today. Everyone helped. That's cool. However, and this is a really ugly part about Alsa, there is no single way to control all these cards. Michael will need to learn amixer or figure out what other application supports this card, as hdspmixer does for my HDSP cards. Maybe there is some other app we don't know about. Going to this page: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view_all_bug_page.php choosing ALSA-driver at the top right and snd_intel_hda in the search area shows one major issue right now: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1380 It starts: <QUOTE> Hello. I am getting very scratchy audio in my Intel HDA card besides the sound is very low. lspci output is: 0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03) </QUOTE> One interesting comment: <QUOTE> First, try ALSA CVS or ALSA 1.0.10-rc1. There have been many bugs fixed since 1.0.9-rc2. Then, if it still doesn't work, to verify that it's not a modutils bug, explicitly do: rmmod snd-intel-hda modprobe snd-intel-hda position_fix=0 Then test the sound and repeat with position_fix=1, 2, and 3. </QUOTE> So possibly 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 may not support this card very well, as I suggested earlier. It's a new card. I think that Micheal could probably work this issue through the Alsa bug reporting feature, or by going to alsa-devel and looking for some help there. I am about 200% certain he will be asked to update to the most recent versions of Alsa which will require patching the kernel or at least building stuff outside of portage. He may or may not want to do that. - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
