Kernels 2.6.12 enable something called dmix by default if your soundcard does not support multiple channels. This would allow rhythmbox and xmms to play sounds at the same time without esd/alsa/your sound server. This is a very cool feature that I sorely missed for a long time. Russ Cook wrote: Oops.

Re: New install - no sound
Following your suggestion, I ran gstreamer-properties and set the options to use alsa (I have no idea yet what gstreamer is, my learning curve looks like Mt Everest). Rythmbox now gives the error 'ALSA device "default" is already in use by another program' and also 'Could not pause playback'. Additionally, XMMS no longer works now. I get the error message 'Couldn't open audio'. Thank you for your patience and assistance. Matthew A. Nicholson wrote: Use gstreamer-properties to make gstreamer use alsa.

The snd-intel8x0 driver has a quirks option that allows for rearanging that stupidity back to normal. parm: ac97_quirk:AC'97 workaround for strange hardware. (array of charp) You might have to look at pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c for a list of valid quirk options. For a realtek ALC chip the option ac97_quirk=alc_jack might be useful (it appears to enable the auto jack select feature of those chips). There are also quirks for swapping master/headphone volume controls which seems to be needed on some systems. AC97 is a real mess.

You might also want to install alsa-oss and alsa-base. I also have Realtek onboard audio with the ALC850 chip. I always build my own kernel and the latest version of alsa. I have alsa 1.0.10 installed with kernel 2.6.14.3 that I built myself. Below is the modules I am using for alsa. snd_seq_oss38436 0 snd_seq_midi 10240 0 snd_rawmidi30752 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 9152 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq61400 5 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 10192 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd_intel8x0 37096 0 snd_ac97_codec108220 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus2880 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss58400 0 snd_mixer_oss 19584 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 104012 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 28040 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd68096 10 snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 12112 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm soundcore 12320 1 snd This is what my /dev looks like. 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp -> adsp0 0 crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 12 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp0 0 crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 28 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp1 0 crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 44 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp2 0 crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 60 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp3 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp -> dsp0 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp0 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 19 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp1 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 35 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp2 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 51 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp3 You might try running alsaconf to detect your card or alsamixer to make sure your levels aren't all the way down. Other than that I don't know what to tell you. But the ALC850 chip definitely works with alsa. >From alsamixer: Card: ALi M5455 Chip: Realtek ALC850 rev 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

New install - no sound
I have an ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe motherboard with an AMD4800 dual core processor. I believe the audio is Realtek ALC850. I performed a clean install from unstable from http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ testing main. My system is up and running, and I have been performing apt-get update and upgrade periodically. My kernel is vmlinuz-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp. My problem is that I don't have any sound from the system. Attached is the output from 'lsmod'. The utility 'Discover' is installed. Can anyone offer some pointers?
