To s.keeling (first name unknown). Would you start a new thread for your sound 
problem please, as you have highjacked Mike Lewis's thread with a new, and 
possibly unrelated sound problem.

It can be difficult enough dealing with one sound problem, without two 
possibly unrelated ones running in the same thread, with the resulting 
confusion of trying to deal with two problems at the same time.

I'm not a sound guru, but I, and am sure others will look at your problem in 
your newly created thread, and see if it can be resolved.

All the best.

Nigel.

 I have some sounds coming from the speakers now Nigel. Here is the

 second part was run manually after I got the sound. Hope this tells you
 something.

 The first commented out version did *not* work. I later changed the

Hi Mike.

At least we know what the codec is now.

As both your threads have been running for a while, perhaps we could go back, 
and get some basic details.

Which machine do you have? Make/model. PC, or laptop.

Sound was working on your i686 install, and I presume that was Lenny, but when 
you installed x86_64/AMD64 version of Lenny, sound no longer worked. Was that 
a totally fresh install of the 64 bit version of Lenny?

Personally I'd go back to the i686 version of Lenny, where the sound was 
working. I've seen conflicting reports of the benefits of using a 64 bit OS. 
Only my opinion, and of course it's your choice.

Anyway. Back to the ALC885 codec. There are a bunch of model options for this 
codec with the 1.0.16 alsa driver, as below. I see the same model options for 
the 1.0.18a alsa driver, but bear in mind that the alsa developers are 
continually applying patches to the alsa driver, so maybe upgrading to the 
latest alsa driver is an option. The link for the latest is also below.

If you're not sure on how to upgrade the alsa driver, just ask.

All the best.

Nigel.

Hi Mike.

At least we know what the codec is now.

As both your threads have been running for a while, perhaps we could go back, 
and get some basic details.


Which machine do you have? Make/model. PC, or laptop.



Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H. It is a desktop.


Sound was working on your i686 install, and I presume that was Lenny, but when 
you installed x86_64/AMD64 version of Lenny, sound no longer worked. Was that 
a totally fresh install of the 64 bit version of Lenny?


Yes, the 64 bit install was on bare metal as was the 32 bit install.



Personally I'd go back to the i686 version of Lenny, where the sound was 
working. I've seen conflicting reports of the benefits of using a 64 bit OS. 
Only my opinion, and of course it's your choice.




Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind. Although I would like to 
assist the developers to resolve this issue. The developer who is 
working on my bug report asked me to hang in there until the weekend 
when he has access to hardware to test with. Other than this issue, the 
64 bit is working fine.


Anyway. Back to the ALC885 codec. There are a bunch of model options for this

Do you happen to know what that fast devsel / slow devsel business

Nope.

What happens when you:
# depmod
# modprobe -v snd_hda_intel snd_seq

Well, actually that works with speaker-test. *BUT*, I'm not holding
my breath. I've had it this far before and couldn't reproduce it
again.

Let me reboot and try again before I pronounce it 'fixed'.

Well, no, but more information:

/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-hda-intel
insmod
/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

FATAL: Error running install command for snd_hda_intel


And from dmesg:

[  362.587129] snd_hda_intel: Unknown parameter `snd_seq'

I will try it without the snd_seq.

Still no luck without the snd_seq or even putting snd_seq in a
separate modprobe:

modprobe -v snd_seq
modprobe -v snd-hda-intel

So the depmod/modprobe worked, but then you rebooted and now it doesn't
work

That is correct. That is three times, through some series of events,
that I have managed to get sound out of it. Rebooted and tried to
reproduce the sequence and was not able to reproduce it.

I wonder if you have some sort of codec conflict going on here. Try adding the 
following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, and rebooting.


options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1

That will just select the first codec, which should be the one for your 
soundcard, if there are more than one codec in the equation.


If that doesn't work, and the next time you get the sounds up and running, 
post back the output of the following stuff.


cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/version
grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*

If the probe_mask option does work, post back the output of the above stuff as 
well, as it may be helpfull in getting a solution to the problem.


All the best.

No, but I can show you what mine look like.  It's a Sid box running 
a hand-rolled kernel based on linux-source-2.6.28.  (The machine is 
about 3 months old, so also worked with 2.6.24.)

Thanks Ron, that helps some. At least I know what a working one looks 
like.


A little bit more detail, which correlates /dev/sndstat to lspci :

$ lspci -v -s00:06.1

See how the Card config: matches the lspci info.

Do you happen to know what that fast devsel / slow devsel business is 
about?


Nope.

What happens when you:
# depmod
# modprobe -v snd_hda_intel snd_seq

That is correct. That is three times, through some series of events,

reproduce the sequence and was not able to reproduce it.

Ron, what is your version of Alsa please? I'm thinking of *upgrading* 
from testing to Sid to see if that might resolve the issue. We already 
know you have a later kernel. Maybe just that would resolve the problem?

I wonder if you have some sort of codec conflict going on here. Try adding the 
following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, and rebooting.

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1

That will just select the first codec, which should be the one for your 
soundcard, if there are more than one codec in the equation.

If that doesn't work, and the next time you get the sounds up and running, 
post back the output of the following stuff.

cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/version
grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*

If the probe_mask option does work, post back the output of the above stuff as 
well, as it may be helpfull in getting a solution to the problem.

All the best.

Nigel.

Ron, what is your version of Alsa please? I'm thinking of *upgrading* 
from testing to Sid to see if that might resolve the issue. We already 
know you have a later kernel. Maybe just that would resolve the problem?


alsa-base  1.0.17.dfsg-4

No, but I can show you what mine look like.  It's a Sid box running 
a hand-rolled kernel based on linux-source-2.6.28.  (The machine is 
about 3 months old, so also worked with 2.6.24.)

A little bit more detail, which correlates /dev/sndstat to lspci :

$ lspci -v -s00:06.1
00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio

Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device 0d12

Memory at fe024000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: access denied
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

See how the Card config: matches the lspci info.

Do you happen to know what that fast devsel / slow devsel business is about?

/dev/sndstat problem - Advice ?

[W.D.McKinney]

Ok, on my laptop with Debian 3.0 (sid) and all is well cept
for the mixer (sound level) and /dev/sndstat is there.

crwxrwxrwx1 root audio 14,   6 Mar 14 12:51 sndstat

(I gave it 0777 to test.)

Modules loaded are :

maestro3   24072   0 
soundcore   2452   2  [maestro3]

Sound plays OK, I would just like to run a mixer. No mixer, IE.
aumix,kmix.xmmix work?

Any ideas for a not so good sound user :-) ?

Thanks
/Dee
