 Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2009 9:26 am Post subject: ALSA, hp laptop, ATI HD, front output jacks, no sound |
 |
|
Hello Gentoo forum!
As the subject title insinuates I have problems getting sound out of the front jacks of my HP dv6 laptop. I'm at my wits end, I've searched around for similar problems and solutions for the better part of the week but not found anything. The laptops own (crappy) speakers work, so the Intel HD Audio device seems to work, but the is no output from either of the two output jacks at the front of the laptop.
I like to learn so there's a lot of questions here, hope you don't mind.  You know, learn a man to fish... Hopefully this will help other people solve their ALSA woes as well.

From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt I got the Intel HD Audio device to work by inserting the following snippet into /etc/modprobe.conf in the ALSA section.

Alsaconf recognizes both cards, both show up in the interface when alsaconf asks which card I want to configure, but no matter which one I choose in that little menu, it's only the Intel device that gets the love. Might it be that since they are using the same module/driver the Intel device gets priority and the ATI device has to be quiet?
Would there be a way of letting the ATI device get precedence?
Some laptops come with a sort of jack detection so that the hardware will know then a user plugs in headphone/etc into the audio output jacks, is that called message signaled interrupts or is it more power management features? (See lspci -v above)
If i modify /etc/modprobe.conf, I afterwards do a update-modules (as the config says), but what else needs to be done to load the new config? Seems to me I have to:
/etc/init.d/alsasound stop
unload the sound modules (they complain that they are being used(I wouldn't  ))
update-modules
load the modules
/etc/init.d/alsasound start
Is that substitutional for a reboot a la windows?
Does it matter which modules/drivers are loaded first via modprobe? Is coldplugging refering to the way udev (or something) automatically handles the modprobing at boot?
Thanks a thousand in advance! |

Hm, come to think of it, I'm not 100% sure that the three jacks in the front of the laptop is connected to the ATI HDMI device, might be the Intel sound device instead. How do I find that out?

Does anyone have any idea of at least where to start looking to get the output jacks to work? |

My Pavilion DV4 uses message signaled interrupts. If MSI is not set up correctly, the driver is not properly notified that something has been plugged in.
Ensure your kernel has PCI bus MSI enabled, and that your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf contains a line like:
| Code: | | options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 |
In my case, I go further and provide the laptop type (Not sure if it is required, but if it aint broke...)
| Code: | | options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1 |
Hope this helps

I've got the same problem, only I have INTEL instead of ATI
aplay -l

My sound works great from the system speakers, but if I try to plug in headphones I get sounds from my system speakers and nothing from the headphones.
I have tried enable_msi=1 and this doesn't seem to do the trick.

| Try enabling CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_JACK. |

run /usr/sbin/update-pciids as root first and then repost your lspci output.

Enabling CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_JACK did not change the behavior.

I just upgraded my kernel from 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 to 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 and it looks like it all works now! Even my mute button light changes color when you toggle it, like it should.
