Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2006 5:59 pm Post subject: No sound... (solved) |
|
|
If i run
alsamixer
i get this
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
There was also an error a the beginning of launching KDE (which means me restarting the computer to find out so i'm not posting it in the original post just on the off chance i don't have to...)
And kamix doesn't work

vladimirm,
Lets check your kernel.
Do the directories /dev/sound and /dev/snd exist and what do they contain ?
Are there any sound related problems flagged in if so please post them.
Please post your sound card line from lspci too. _________________ Regards,

Also make sure you've inserted the relavent module for your sound card _________________ Remember, even at a Mensa convention someone is the dumbest person in the room! |

From iscpci
00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Soun d Controller (rev a0)
Neither of the directories /dev/snd /dev/sound exist
And from what i can tell there aren't any sound problems from dmesg
THe sound card used to work just fine. And as far as i'm aware i havent messed with the kernel so i can't understand why it would just not work... |

Just a thought but have you tried running alsaconf and seeing if it detects the card for you??
Udev only creates the relavent /dev devices on detetion of the hardware as far as I'm aware if it can't see your sound cards it wont create the devices so either alsaconf or modprobe <snd-module>
Then try dmesg to make sure it got inserted alright. Just because lspci can see the hw doesn't mean its installed

are you running alsa in the kernel or alsa-drivers? If in the kernel, just to make sure, fire up your make menuconfig and make sure that things look right (i.e. alsa enabled, and support for your chip selected). If running alsa-drivers, make sure the proper config files are set. |

I have similar problem. I`ve got FM801-AU chip based sound card. Alsa is compiled in kernel, also FM801 support.

Alsamixer starts with dummy ( because couldn`t find alternative sound card )
How it is possible, that LSPCI found my sound card ( 02:02.0 ), and alsa couldn`t

you need to find out which module alsaconf uses to load your sound, then add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 if you use a 3.6 or kernel-2.4 if you use a 2.4 kernel _________________ Remember, even at a Mensa convention someone is the dumbest person in the room! |

I'm not expert but lspci doesn't see your sound card and for it to fail with an error it sounds more like a hardware fault than anything else.

Hmm I`m not an expert too, but doesn`t line :

nform that the computer can see my sound card ? |

zbrozlo: Try modprobe snd-fm801 and see what it returns
it maybe that the module isn't compiled properly

Just for the sake of it: could you boot from a liveCD (ubuntu, Kororaa, etc) and see if sound works there? |

Code: |
zbrozlo ~ # modprobe snd-fm801
FATAL: Module snd_fm801 not found.
|
But I don`t think it is unusual, because I`ve compiled ALSA inside kernel, and modules should be "inside" ( am I right ? ) in meaning internal (?!)
I think I`ll recompile alsa-drivers externally once more, and then put modprobe results in here |

I dont know about anyone else but i've always had trouble with the alsa driver ebuild, I just compile my modules in the kernel and set alsaconf to work on it once they compiled

I do the same, it seems much more simpler anyway.
I solved the problem... apparently.
It was something to do with KDE, not sure what.
But in an unrelated incident i unmerged kde and merged it again and... biibbi dee bob a dee boom i've got sound...
anyway! magically solved! |

previously I had alsa and modules compiled in kernel. Result was similar. |
