sound card problem on asus a6b

2006-03-08 Thread gnustikos

Hi
I have a problem with sound card on Debian Sarge. I've built 2.6.14.4 
kernel for many times, choosing different options in Sound section. I 
use ALSA drivers of course. When I chose all cards in section PCi 
devices (all sound cards in this subsection of section ALSA as a 
modules) the kernel (during the boot) was running only ATI IXP so I left 
only this driver in section PCI devices and built it in the kernel 
(besides it doesn't matter because I've tried to built it as a module 
and it wasn't a solution). The problem is that everything looks fine but 
there is no sound :) I am pretty sure that the card is not mute because 
I have been doing everything exactly like on other computers (on which 
it worked). On this laptop I run XMMS, set output sound driver on ALSA, 
play some music and there are no errors, I can see that XMMS is working 
correctly but there is no sound.


Here is lspci output:

And some fragments of dmesg:

ALSA device list:

So where is the problem?

Make sure you have the packages alsa-base and alsa-utils installed.
Use the command alsamixer to make sure that the Master, Master M
and PCM channels are turned up and not muted. Try if alsaconf (as
root) can find and configure your sound card. Finally, to make sure it
is not a problem with XMMS, you can use the simple command line tool
speaker-test to produce some audio output.

Florian
