Re: Re: Trouble setting up ALSA on Asus K8U-X motherboard

2006-03-25 Thread Dan Wolfgang
I'm also using an Asus K8U-X motherboard and am not having luck
getting any sound to work. I must admit that I'm new to Linux and am
not quite sure of what I'm doing.

I see the same results as Eduardo did: the sound card is identified:
:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI
AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 20)

The Intel 8x0 module is loaded:
snd_intel8x0   29724  0
snd_ac97_codec 86560  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus4096  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm77700  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer  22532  1 snd_pcm
snd48612  4 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore   9824  1 snd
snd_page_alloc 10376  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

But no soundcards are found. I guess I'm not quite sure of what to do
with the buggy_semaphore=1 fix. I enter
modprobe snd_intel8x0 buggy_semaphore=1
and don't get any feedback from modprobe (should I?) and no soundcards
are still found. I enter it, then try rerunning alsaconf, with the
same result of no soundcard. I'm not sure of what else to do. Can
anybody help?

In the case of Debian (don't know for other distributions), edit the
file /etc/modprobe.d/sound so that the line containing

options snd-intel8x0 index=0

becomes

options snd-intel8x0 index=0 buggy_semaphore=1

 You're in luck. I had the very same problem on a Gentoo system, and
 the solution was pretty simple when I found out what was doing on.
 Looks like the ALi chip has a buggy semaphore.

 modprobe snd_intel8x0 buggy_semaphore=1

Yes, that works. Thanks for the solution.

Trouble setting up ALSA on Asus K8U-X motherboard

I have an AMD64 system on an Asus K8U-X motherboard. However, I
haven't had success using ALSA and I have no sound at the moment.

The sound card is identified this way:

# lspci | grep audio
:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI
AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 20)

alsaconf, however, properly identifies that this card should use the
snd-intel8x0 module. A look at the Sound Card Matrix at the ALSA page
shows that this module is indeed the one for this card.

However, when the module is loaded, these messages are printed:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:04.0[A] - GSI 18 (level, low) - IRQ 22
AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device :00:04.0 disabled
Intel PCH: probe of :00:04.0 failed with error -13

The module does load, as you can see:

# lsmod | grep snd
snd_intel8x0   34216  0
snd_ac97_codec101244  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus2880  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm_oss51424  0
snd_mixer_oss  17472  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm90252  3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer  24008  1 snd_pcm
snd57984  6
snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore  10720  1 snd
snd_page_alloc 11344  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

But not soundcards are identified:

# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---

And running alsamixer produces

# alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

kernel is
Linux elrond 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 #2 Thu Feb 23 04:54:57 UTC 2006 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Previously (in kernel 2.6.13.4) I could use sound through OSS, but now
not even that works. (I suspect it's an issue with udev, which I didn't
use before.) Does anybody have any hints?
