With all of the discussions ;the above and in another thread / other threads, about the need to remove pulse audio, to get sound working, I booted the thing up, loaded synaptic, searched for pulse audio, and found that some utilities (dependencies ?) for it, were installed, but, not the pulse audio server. So, I installed that, with its (8 ?) dependencies, and played a movie, and, the sound worked. So, the problem appears to have been solved; it appears that, in the OS installation, no sound server was installed, and, installing pulse audio, appears to have fixed the problem. Whilst the solution, appears to have been the inverse of the suggestion above, thanks for the pointer; it resulted in the apparent solution. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

I am not using the same sound chip that you are, but I am using the same driver: snd_hda_intel. The wheezy kernel's drivers were not new enough to recognize my sound chip, and I couldn't get sound to work on my machine under wheezy either. But I found a work-around for the problem. Create (as root) a file under /etc/modprobe.d. The file name can be anything you like, but it must have an extension of .conf. I called mine /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf In this file, add the following line: options snd_hda_intel model=auto Save the file and exit the editor. Now shutdown and reboot. This worked for me. I don't know if it will work for you or not. Since then, I've upgraded my system to jessie, and the newer kernels on up-to-date jessie systems have an snd_hda_intel driver that is new enough to recognize my hardware. I no longer need to use the above option. But it was necessary to use the above option when I was running wheezy. Let me know if this works for you. -- .''`.

sound configuration on etch??? (usb)

What is the proper way to set up and configure sound/alsa on debian etch?

There's also alsaconf, but that doesn't recognize my usb sound card (it just finds the built-in one of my laptop). The sound card basically works ok, ie. I can record and play via 'arecord' and 'aplay'. (The best strategy is to have the card plugged in at boot, to kill artsd once kde is up and then to reload alsa as root.) However I cannot make audacity work with the sound card.

Sound Configuration problem on clean Sarge install
Hi, I'm a Windows user and would like to change my home PC over to Linux. I've installed Debian sarge (dual boot, on a separate hard drive) using the standard installation procedure and selecting the default 'Desktop' packages during install (i386 architecture). Everything has installed OK but I can't get my sound to work properly. When I log in, if I try to use the standard Gnome CD player it recognises the CD and starts to play but I don't get any sound, also if I try the standard Sound Recorder, when I hit record nothing happens (i.e. it just hangs in this case). However, when I look under multimedia configuration at the streaming preferences, Audio pipe is set up as OSS (I don't really understand this) and when I press test a tone is emitted from the speakers, so it's obvious that a suitable driver has been installed, just not configured correctly. Also if I switch on the sounds for events on the desktop under Gnome configuration these don't work either. Any ideas where to start with this. I would have expected the configuration to be right on a clean install, is it normally or does it always need tweaking?

Hi, i dont use gnome but u can use alsa sound driver ;-) i dont remember exactly package, but u can search it with: apt-cache search alsa and install it u can use lspci to view which audio hardware do u have. how is the speaker's volume in gnome?

Re: Sound Configuration problem on clean Sarge install
If you are using GNOME and want to use ALSA instead you must also install the gstreamerversion-alsa package if you want to get ALSA pipes working. The version number varies depending on which branch of Debian you have. I believe it is 0.8 for Sarge. You can then set ALSA as the default in preferences. I'd also make sure you install a mixer, and make sure that your master volume and PCM are not muted, as they ususally is by default, resulting in no sound although everything is installed properly. If you aren't using a stock Debian kernel, you must also make certain that you have ALSA support installed and available for your hardware, then load the appropriate driver. If it doesn't work after that you probably have a permissions problem with the device node under /dev. ALSA has been the default sound system for Linux for a number of years, replacing OSS entirely. I'll never understand why the option for OSS even exists anymore in GNOME as far as Linux is concerned. One last caveat... OSS does not allow for the sound device to be shared, so if you are running any OSS applications, I'd turn off all sound events before you use the applications, as they might refuse to work if another program is accessing the device. Yet another reason why OSS is ancient history. I do wish you the best of luck. If I can help further please don't hesitate, and post to the list or email me directly.

Re: Sound Configuration problem on clean Sarge install
Oh, I forgot. You might also have to load ALSA's OSS compatibility driver, if it isn't already when you use an OSS app. It's normally named something like snd_pcm_oss, if I recall correctly.

Do I need to apt-get install a particular package to manager my sound machinism? What are their names? I do not know the model of my sound card but it works fine under windows XP system. Open a terminal and type in alsaconf (if it's not there you need to install the alsa-utils package). Then just answer the questions and it should set up your sound for you. (ALSA = Advanced Linux Sound Architecture). 2. How can I mount to my usb port devices? I have a MP3 player. I can plug into USB port and copy paste content betwen PC's harddrive and MP3 player. But when I switch to Debian, I do not know how to have access to it. The USB port works fine tested by plug in a usb keyboard. If you use Gnome or KDE desktops this stuff is usually taken care of for you in more recent Debian; but I think it still needs some user configuration in Sarge. Sometimes it is as simple as making sure the usb-storage module is loaded, by typing modprobe usb-storage in a terminal. If not, the basic way to do it manually: 1. Plug in your drive, wait a few moments, then type dmesg | tail and look for something like sda: sda1 - it - it might be sdb2 or whatever - which is the name which has been assigned to your drive. Say it was sda1; 2. Create a new folder in /mnt called whatever you want: say, /mnt/mp3player 3. Now type (as root): mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mp3player Now you should be able to see the files in your player in the new folder. Make sure you unmount it (umount /dev/sda1) before unplugging. This can all be automated but I'll leave that up to the experts to explain. Or try google. If none of this works, ask again with a bit more information: are you using Gnome, KDE or something else; what kernel version are you using (type uname -r) and what modules are loaded (lsmod). Hope this helps, John P.S. If you're interested, read up on the packages udev, dbus, pmount, hal and gnome-volume-manager, which are designed to work together to automate the use of removable devices. On my laptop it works beautifully (but I use Etch and it may not work for Sarge). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yet I encountered some difficulties as I'm wanting more features. If any of you could give me some hints regarding to the following items, I would really appreciate it? 1. How can I make my computer speak or sing? You will have to configure sound. What desktop environment are you using? Gnome/KDE/Fluxbox? Do I need to apt-get install a particular package to manager my sound machinism? Yes. What are their names? This will depend on your soundcard. I do not know the model of my sound card Look under your hardware definitions in your menus. Make a note of your graphics card and other hardware while you're at it. but it works fine under windows XP system. 2. How can I mount to my usb port devices? I have a MP3 player. I can plug into USB port and copy paste content betwen PC's harddrive and MP3 player. But when I switch to Debian, I do not know how to have access to it. The USB port works fine tested by plug in a usb keyboard. It'll work fine with Debian also. One step at a time. Start with the soundcard, configuring that, then come back.

Are you using a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? ('uname -r') If it's 2.4 you need
the alsa-modules package appropriate to your kernel. If you can't find
it tell us what kernel you have, and we can let you know the package
name. It should be alsa-modules-your kernel version You'll also need
alsa-base. alsa-utils will help you configure it, and alsa-oss will
allow some older programs to output sound. Once you install alsa-utils
do an 'alsaconf' as root then an 'alsamixer'. This should set up your
sound card.
2. How can I mount to my usb port devices? I have a MP3 player. I can
plug into USB port and copy paste content betwen PC's harddrive and MP3
player. But when I switch to Debian, I do not know how to have access to
it.
The USB port works fine tested by plug in a usb keyboard.
Others have suggested how to work with that.

Folks, I'm familiar with alsamixer, and how alsactl store saves default settings in the /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file. But I can't figure out where gnome-volume-control saves settings. I'm assuming it's one of the individual user's config files, but can't find it. Does anyone else here know? Thanks, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debian Sound Configuration
I have a C-Media 8738 Sound Card (not onboard), but I have no clue where to configure it.

I Tried to understand the alsa and oss sound systems but documentation over the internet seems to be a little bit confuse... Anyone has any ideas? Best Regards, Leo
Sound configuration (arts+alsa+jack+synth)
From Rosegarden FAQ [1]:
Alsa? aRts? huh???
I would like to use music editors like Rosegarden and it is very tough
to configure the environment so it can play MIDI through soft synthesis.
I could do it with timidity -Oj -iA, but JACK is losing frames. I did
not get fluidsynth/qsynth to work with Rosegarden.
[[ I do not know if I took the right steps, though: downloaded a
soundfont from hammersound; installed fluidsynth and jackd*; killed
arts; ran jack -d alsa and fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a jack font.sf2;
tried to play in Rosegarden; nothing ]]
I miss a utility that configure sound properly (all the environment, not
only ALSA) and documentation about configuring all these together
(arts+jack+alsa). I could not find any documentation about it in Debian
Reference, although AFAIK Debian docs are being rewritten for the next
release. The Linux Sound HOWTO [2] was last updated on 2001. Searching
on Google [3,4] gives many maillist messages and most recent is from
2002. Many things I found are for older kernels (2.2 and 2.4).
When I tell aRts to use JACK, at KDE startup, aRts does not find JACK. I
suppose I should call jackd at some place in KDE session start, before aRts.
In fact, my problem is: my adapter/driver (snd_intel8x0) accepts only
one channel so I need to mix channels by software; also I want to use
Rosegarden which needs synthesis. aRts seems the natural option since I
use KDE (I guess I have no other choice besides arts and esd).
Rosegarden site tells me that I need jack+{fluidsynth,timidity} and that
I should prefer fluidsynth.
I'm using kernel 2.6.7 and I have used alsaconf to set up sound card.

having trouble with ad1816 sound configuration
Hi, The machine is an HP VISUALIZE P700C. It has integrated sound using an AD1816 chip (from the technical reference). I try to load the right module in modconf and get an error, however, I see in many searches on the web that people have had success with the ad1848 modules. The ad1848 modules load successfully. But no matter what I do, sndconfig or alsaconfig can't find the chip. The HP tech reference says it's interfaced through the ISA bus, so I'm surprised that isapnp doesn't see it either (usually isapnp finds EVERYTHING, especially stuff that win2k refuses to admit exsistance of). And even when I get the config utilities up, they say that can't see any of the 1848 modules that modconf said it loaded successfully. I've seen a lot of talk on the net about updating to 2.4.20 to fix sound problems...I'm currently running the stock bf24 kernel, which I think is 2.4.18. I tried disabling the bios pnp function to try and let linux take over configuration, but that didn't seem to alter behavior at all. I searched the archives but wasn't able to come up with anything that seemed related...Any words of wisdom to offer? Thanks for the help, plz cc:me -russ PS please don't crucify me but as anyone who's worked with them knows, the HP systems are sometimes a real pain to tear into and I'm going on faith with the technical reference saying that it's an ad1816. The thought has crossed my mind that there may be other pieces on the board to complete the chipset, I don't know for sure just how integrated the ad1816 is. I think I'll pull a spec from Analog Devices, now that I'm curious... Nice. I just checked. I can't get the datasheet off the site. the part is obsolete (as is the ad1848)...but it worked great under windows and alsa says that it's supported! (I received the box with win2k on it) PSS if anyone is interested in the technical reference (covers all pentium III based HP workstations) I have the complete pdf (1.8 MB). These would be great boxen to recyle into linii, they're very solid and use high quality parts, midi/game ports and everything are built right in (I would consider using this as a midi workstation, easy). Probably run another 20yr at least, and have a cool LCD built in the front that reports system stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

DSL and Sound Configuration
Hi all: I'm having problems configuring my ADSL connection w/Debian. I have a Lynksys BEFW11S4 V.2 Etherfast Router that connects to the internet via my Efficient Network's 5360 Speedstream Modem. I use a Lynksys 10/100 Etherfast Card. Here's the rundown. On a previous install of Debian, I was unable to get X to start, though I had a fully functional internet connection that I used to d/l Debian. Decided to reinstall - this time, got X to run, but, ironically, my internet is down. Damn, are computer's fickle? LOL. I installed the 'ppp' module into my kernel like I normally do in the Debian install. No joy. Tried removing that module. No joy. Added just 'ppp_deflate'. Nope. Tried 'ppp' and 'ppp_deflate' together. Nada. I ran 'pppoeconfig' (or is it just 'pppconfig'? it's the 'ADSL/PPPOE' Configurator in the Debian Menu) - it won't run on the initial try, and prompts me to run 'modconf'. After selecting and removing/installing one of the modules (apparently, it just wants a change, and it doesn't care what), 'modconf' dumps me back into 'pppoeconfig' - which tells me that it now detects my Ethernet Card, and then tries to auto-config everything. That's when it tells me no - it can't detect the setup from the 'provider' - I'm assuming that's the router. It also says that its possible that other processes are using the interface 'eth0' - my ethernet card. That's it. Next is my soundcard - a Soundblaster 128PCI - aka: ES1371. Everytime I start up KDE, it brings up a dialogue box that I used to get with Mandrake - 'do not have permissions to device '/dev/dsp''. I tried changing the permissions on it, but it didn't work. I never did fix the problem - just installed SuSE on top of it. LOL - I'm lazy. But, I like Debian too much to just quit at it. That's why I'm asking you guys.

Okay, stop right there. Take a deep breath. Repeat after me. The Speedstream connects to the Internet. The Linksys router connects to the modem. The computer connects to the router.

Check /etc/network/interfaces and look for: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Check that your network card is recognized by looking at 'ifconfig'. ifconfig eth0 You may need to load a module in /etc/modules. In which case you need to have 'tulip' in /etc/modules for a Linksys card. Just editing the file and rebooting works. But I recommend that you use modconf to put it there. You must have missed doing that during the initial install. This is the same area where you selected your es1371 sound driver. modconf Page down to where it says 'tulip' submenu of tulip drivers and select it. Then on the next page select the tulip driver no description available and let modconf add it to your kernel. I installed the 'ppp' module into my kernel like I normally do in the Debian install.

Hi Jimmy, Try going to this page: http://www.freecolormanagement.com/505/sound.html It looks like it might have useful information. Try configuring your sound card as a plain old Sound Blaster 16. You can use the module sb and pass it the right parameters for your card. Simon
Re: Sound configuration
Hi, I dont install sound driver in debian way , that is downloading and installing from debian binary; so I dont know how to; But I think it should not be a problem, you just download alsa-driver in debian and started with that. It is the simplest way. If only it doesn't work you can install manually, you can first download the kernel source (from debian or from kernel.org...; then compile your own made kernel; Then go to http://www.alsa-project.org/ grap their stable version read their documentation then make it; usually it is only ./configure make install Then read the file INSTALL in the alsa directory to see how and which module for your card. You even dont have to compile your kernel, if you have the correct kernel header file with your current running kernel, you can compile alsa without any problem.

Re: Sound configuration
Basically it needs some steps: 1. Find out what sound card on your laptop. 2. # modconf 3. install appropriate module for your soundcard 4. add ordinary user into group audio -- bpdp http://3wsi dev n sysadm On Thursday 11 October 2001 1:15 pm, JimmyMah wrote: I am a new user to debian linux.

sound configuration
Hi all. I'm running potato and I'm looking for a tool to configure my ESS1868 sound card. I've compiled 2.4.5 with the modules for the card, but I don't know how to configure it. I'd used sndconfig on redhat to do that, but I can't find a tool like that under debian. --ejg:wq!

This has probably been much discussed before but I am new here. How the heck do you configure the sound card under potato? Thanks, Larry

I usually recompile the kernel for it... But this isn't the answer you want. Anyways... apt-get install kernel-source this should print available version to apt-get. Scott J. Vaverchak

Sound configuration
What is the proper way to setup Sound in Debian? I have an es1371 card. I have used modconf to select the es1371 module and run update-modules. Is there anything else that is required? It seems that esound (using helixcode gnome) doesnt like my config... because it reports that I don't have a sound card. (I am in the audio group) Is ALSA easier to use? If so , what packages do I install... because I can't seem to get the drivers installed. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so , what packages do I install... because I can't seem to get the drivers installed. Not particularly, far harder to install than to insert the modules in the kernel IMHO. Works fine in SuSE though, with the same card. HTH. HAND. Morten -- UNIX, reach out and grep someone!

Still Trying [WAS: Re: Another Newbie Q : Sound Configuration]
I want to thank everyone who replied. I'm sorry it took so long to get back to this, but tonight is the first night that I've been able to play :) I've consulted the Sound-HOWTO, the SoundBlaster-HOWTO, the Kernel-HOWTO, and various emails from the arhives and Dejanews. Yet I still have no sound. I don't know what my problem is. One problem I'm having is with the HOWTOs. Some are old and list kernel options that aren't available/are different in the 2.2.9 kernel. So I'm not sure what and where I'm screwing up. So I'll try to list what I've done and hopefully someone can spot where I went wrong. I've made some progress. I've been able to get my isapnp.conf file to yield no errors. However, none of the options matched what I wrote down from my windows sound settings, so I changed them to reflect them. Isapnp runs without bombing though, so I'm assuming that what I did was okay. I then installed the awe-drv and awe-midi packages. After that, I configured my kernel and made the following selections under sound: CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND=y CONFIG_AWE32_SYNTH=m (I think that's it. I pulled these from my .config) After installing the new kernel and rebooting I ran modprobe -a sound, that does nothing. Also there is no sound entry under /proc/devices. cat /dev/sndstat yields nothing also. Any ideas?

Man if I ever get sound working, I'm gonna write a little howto that walks people like through the steps :) Thanks again -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org

Man if I ever get sound working, I'm gonna write a little howto that walks people like through the steps :) well, there are so many soundcards, that i fear, your howto will become a book ;-) hafi

I'm sorry it took so long to get back to this, but tonight is the first night that I've been able to play :) I've consulted the Sound-HOWTO, the SoundBlaster-HOWTO, the Kernel-HOWTO, and various emails from the arhives and Dejanews. Yet I still have no sound. I don't know what my problem is. One problem I'm having is with the HOWTOs. Some are old and list kernel options that aren't available/are different in the 2.2.9 kernel. So I'm not sure what and where I'm screwing up. You need to read two documents : AWE32 README.awe in the Documentation/Sound/ folder of the kernel documentation or sources. So I'll try to list what I've done and hopefully someone can spot where I went wrong. I've made some progress. I've been able to get my isapnp.conf file to yield no errors. However, none of the options matched what I wrote down from my windows sound settings, so I changed them to reflect them. Isapnp runs without bombing though, so I'm assuming that what I did was okay. Having ISAPnP correctly set up is very important. Nothing will work if it is not the case. But you don't need to have the same parameters in Windows and Linux (except maybe if you boot with loadlin). I then installed the awe-drv and awe-midi packages. After that, I configured my kernel and made the following selections under sound: CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND=y CONFIG_AWE32_SYNTH=m (I think that's it. I pulled these from my .config) After installing the new kernel and rebooting I ran modprobe -a sound, that does nothing. Also there is no sound entry under /proc/devices. cat /dev/sndstat yields nothing also. Any ideas? You need to configure the modules with the right parameters (the io addresses, irq, dma, etc. you've set up in ISA-PnP). Use modconf to set up the modules with the right parameters. (io, irq, dma, dma16, mpu_io for the sb module -- io for the adlib_card module) Hope it helps. Best Regards.

I think that I've been as far as I've been last night in setting up sound, but I never did this last step. To think that I did all that reading and stuff and to fail for not putting in a couple of lines in my /etc/modules.conf! :) I just had a midi problem, but I think I entered the wrong value.

Re: Another Newbie Q : Sound Configuration
Hi all, What is the best way to configure my sound card in Debian Linux ? thanks !!! regards, Andrew J Fortune For starters you could tell what card you have, whether it's PnP or not, what settings you have for it (Boot into Windows to get the settings, like DMA, IRQ, IO).

I've been unable to get sound working since I made the transition to Debian about six months ago. It hasn't been a major issue for me, but now that I'm out of school, there are several things I'd like to accomplish for the summer. Sound is one of them. I have a AWE 64 that's PNP. From Windows, the resources it's using are: 16-bit audio: IRQ 09 DMA 01 DMA 07 I/O 0240-024F I/O 0300-0301 I/O 0388-038B MIDI: I/O 0640-0643 I/O 0A40-0A43 I/O 0E40-0E43 Game port: I/O 0200-0207 I've tried to follow the instructions for setting up sound, but without success. I've been able to compile kernels (pre-2.2.0) under other dists, but Debian has been a no-go for me.

Re: Another Newbie Q : Sound Configuration
I am running Debian 2.1, kernel 2.2.9 and I have my AWE 64 isa PNP card working fine as modules. One little thing I did have to do, was to put in the BIOS of my computer, to change IRQ5 from PNP to assign to ISA card. Whatever it is on Award bios machines. Once i did this, the configuration I made with isapnp tools worked. Go's well now, to install enough packages to get X windows working. And then a nice X11 mp3 player.
