[Bug 343989] Re: no sound on nvidia-based Mac Mini (Macmini3,1)
Has anyone succeeded in getting _line input_ working with a MacMini 3,1 on any Ubuntu release? First, I've checked with a kernel version 2.6.32: input is functional, output doesn't work. Kernel of subsequent versions do it the other way: output works fine but input is broken. I've done quite a lot of tests, with many different kernels, using ubuntu-audio-dev PPA, specifying model=macmini31, etc. Alas, nothing worked :-( I'd be grateful if someone could provide a solution!

Phil, your machine is a MacMini4,1, so this bug is not valid for you. In order to get this hardware working, someone will likely need physical access to this hardware, however I won't know for sure till I get home and look at my Mac Mini 3,1 and compare the audio codec differences. You could also try the instructions at the following URL to try the latest drivers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules Please file a separate bug if the above URL doesn't help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343989 Title: no sound on nvidia-based Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 343989] Re: no sound on nvidia-based Mac Mini (Macmini3,1)
On my late 2009 Macmini3,1, running Lucid Lynx amd64, changing the model to mb5 solved the no-sound problem. I have not tested sound input or digital channels yet, and sound quality when using headphones is not good. The internal speakers do not seem to mute when headphones are plugged in. When the S/PDIF channel is unmuted it seems to be constantly on (I get a red light from the optical audio output jack). A file created by alsa-info.sh is at http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=c7942ef843ebc8f28b5bbdba34c9a8d7803ebeba So temporary solution for some Macmini3,1's is: options snd-hda-intel model=mb5 I'll try to test some more later, to see what is working and what not whether if I should file a separate bug report. -- no sound on nvidia-based Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK, turns out the model=imac24 does work on Intrepid, it just needed a reboot (rmmod snd-hda-intel modprobe snd-hda-intel without gdm running wasn't enough for some reason, though that did activate it on jaunty). -- no sound on nvidia-based Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Woot, that works!!! Thanks! I'd been through bunches of different models thinking something like that might trigger it, but that one wasn't one that was tried. Can't remember where I found it, but there was a list of available models for the hda-intel driver somewhere, and I don't believe that one was on it for the ALC889A codec. Probably an out-of-date list. I'm assuming the bug probably needs to stay open because the installer should be able to figure that out and configure it for you when you install, right? -- no sound on nvidia-based Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just because that option works for analog sound output, doesn't mean it will work for sound input either analog or digital, or digital sound output.
