Re: How to unmute the sound?
Hi, I had the same problem (this time with an ASUS A8F laptop) but I managed to fix it by passing the model option to modprobe. Maybe you should try again with kernel 2.6.25 (it's now in unstable), I saw that there is a new model name for your codec chip (STAC9205): STAC9205/9254 ref Reference board dell-m42 Dell (unknown) dell-m43 Dell Precision dell-m44 Dell Inspiron Just for the record, this is what I did: Sound always worked fine until one of the last week upgrades to unstable/experimental, so the first thing was to determine the codec chip used in my laptop: $ tail -n 2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Mixers: 0: Analog Devices AD1986A Then I checked the the ALSA-Configuration.txt for the possible model names for the AD1986A codec chip and after a few cycles of: modprobe -r snd-hda-intel modprobe snd-hda-intel model=... alsamixer speaker-test -t wav -D plug:front -c2 -l2 I found that the right model name was laptop-eapd, so finally I added the following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd On Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 6:56 AM, Michael Yang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have upgraded the dist to 2.6.24-1-686, the problem still exists. > > I tried the ways I can do to install the driver successfully, but still has > no sound to output. > > - I downloaded the latest alsa driver 1.16 and it's compiled successfully, > and the alsa-lib alsa-util can be installed without problems, the volume can > be ajusted well, mute or unmute ok. > - use "m-a a-i alsa-source" to compile the driver and install it. > > But no sound to output. > > It's suffering me a lot.

Re: How to unmute the sound?
I have upgraded the dist to 2.6.24-1-686, the problem still exists. I tried the ways I can do to install the driver successfully, but still has no sound to output. - I downloaded the latest alsa driver 1.16 and it's compiled successfully, and the alsa-lib alsa-util can be installed without problems, the volume can be ajusted well, mute or unmute ok. - use "m-a a-i alsa-source" to compile the driver and install it. But no sound to output. It's suffering me a lot. I tried to load the module using " modprobe snd-hda-intel model=dell-m44" or "m42", it can't solve the problem. Whenever opening the audio file, it returns the alsa lib error and errors like "no sound card found": [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Also the output of "aplay -l" returns the following errors: aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found... But seems the driver has been loaded and sound card can be detected, it's confused.

Then reload > the module with modprobe snd-hda-intel model= Oh thanks Kushal. I'd worked that out in the mean time, and tried what looked most likely. Only then did I discover in dmesg this: hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC882, trying auto-probe from BIOS... So now I know the model name and can see the known options from the URL you gave me. The obvious one there was 3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O simply on the basis that I have three jacks on the front of the laptop. I have no idea what SPDIF I/O is, but I tried it anyway, and alsamixer then failed to load, saying: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument So that was a no. I suppose I can try all the alternatives, I guess it an't do any harm. There are only 9 more listed, though most sound wrong. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And the same for the other one, (which is acer-aspire not acer-laptop BTW). In each case unmuted 'Front' and put volumes up etc in alsamixer. But Amarok plays cds as silently as ever, with or without the headphones. So that doesn't solve it. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I had a problem with my Dell Vostro 1400, where the laptop's internal speakers didn't output sound, but the headphone jack worked fine. Supplying the model=5stack option to the snd-hda-intel module fixed the problem for me. There could be something similar for your particular model... -- Kushal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Onboard sound card is in my case listed as Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) but the rest seems identical.

Hey Michael, I'm not qualified to help solve this problem and can only help you ask the right questions (which is why I didn't respond to your response to my questions...). here's a link of interest: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/122560 there is some interesting discussion of potential problems that might steer you in the right direction.

Totally remove all the non-debian stuff. reinstall the kernel and see what happens. BTW, what kernel are you running? what alsa pakages are installed? dpkg -l \*alsa\* Finally, you claim that it suddenly stopped working for no reason. Well, there must be some reason.

RE: How to unmute the sound?
Yes. I tried to recompile because of missing sound suddenly for unknown reason. When I was recompiling the alsa-driver, it told me that the sound is unmated by default. After finished installing the driver again (without checking if sound is muted or unmated), when using "alsactl store", it returns that "no sound card found". But the sound card is indeed there by "lspci". In alsamixer, there's no "MM" for each volume bars. I have tried to ajust and switch mute mode, it works pretty well. But no sound output. I don't know why! Thanks.

Re: How to unmute the sound?
When running "alsactl store", it tells that can not find the sound card. But the "lspci" indeed output the sound card: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) What's wrong about this? Thanks!
