 Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:46 pm Post subject: I am having problems with my (AMD) audio card .. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Upon "startx," it gives off a persistent screeching garbled noise that does not stop unless I mute the master channel in alsamixer .
| Code: | "lspci -v | grep -i audio" gives:
00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6500D and 6400G-6600G series]
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Hudson Azalia Controller (rev 01)
|
I edited /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and changed references to "card" from 0 to 1 . (This I had to do in Arch Linux in order to get my soundcard working .)
I just recompiled a bunch of things with the "pulseaudio" USE flag, and I am about to reboot and see if it helped or not .
I am at a loss . Please help me .
*EDIT*
Recompiling with the "pulseaudio" USE flag did not help, however, underneath the garbled screeching noise I can hear the appropriate sounds .
ie. Upon "startx" I can hear the KDE login sound in addition to the overwhelming garbled screeching noise, and I can play a YouTube video and hear the music in addition to the overwhelming garbled screeching noise .
So the problem amounts to disabling this garbled screeching noise .
Also, in alsamixer, I only have the "Master, Beep and BaseFRQ" channels .

cravengemetzel,
I think both these cards need snd-hda-intel. Please confirm that, and if so be sure that snd-hda-intel is built as a kernel module, as we probably need to pass it some module paramaters when iy loads.
Its easier to play with module parameters when your target is made as a loadable module, rather than built in.
You clearly have two sould cards, The first (default) one | Code: | | 00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6500D and 6400G-6600G series] |
is the sound card on your video card. It is HDMI output only and will only have a on/off control. It only works with the ati-drivers or the 3.3-rc kernel series.
The second one, the one on your motherboard | Code: | | 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Hudson Azalia Controller (rev 01) |
is probably the one you wish to use and you wish was the defualt card if you use the ati-drivers package.
Please use wgetpaste to put your dmesg output on a pastebin and post where it is.
Sight of your andwould be good too.

cravengemetzel,
You actually have four sound cards as shown by | Code: | crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 6 Mar 15 09:09 controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 8 Mar 15 09:09 controlC1
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 11 Mar 15 09:09 controlC2
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 15 Mar 15 09:09 controlC3 |
Thats the two you have already shown and two more, possibly USB ?
Your lspci -k did not work because the version of lspci you have does not understand the -k option.-
- edit -
I did not intend you to type "lspci -k output". I intended you to use the command and post the output from the command. Sorry for the confusion
In your gentoo, do and post the lspci output again.
If your other sound cards are USB based, please post the output of lsusb. If you don't have that,
We need to get your sound cards into some sort of order, so they don't randomly move around.
From your ls -l/dev/snd, we can tell that sound card 0 is your on board sound card because it has lots of devices. cards 1 and 2 each have a single playback device and card 3 has onle playback and one capture device (a sub headset perhaps?)
Using the snd-hda-intel kernel module does not imply that your PC hardware was made by Intel, only that parts of it follow a specification published by Intel.
I was expecting to see somethng like
| Code: | 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8357
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel |
in your lspci. My PC is also AMD based.
Go into all your sound cards with alsamixer and mute everything except the card your speakers are connected to.
Use to see the controls on your first sound card, then and so on. If muting something helps, we have learned somethings about the problem.
When you look at the controls, your on board sound card should show something like | Code: | ┌─────────────────────── AlsaMixer v1.0.25 ───────────────────────┐

I have the same sound card as you but may have a different codec.
The card is shown in the top left Card: HDA ATI SB a and the codec is shown as Chip: VIA VT1708S. What do you have ?
How did you compile your kernel ?

hearing scrambled sounds means you have the module loaded.
the hudson chipset is sort of new and might have some childish problems.
here is my blind shot:
try un-muting the rear mic and setting the level to 00.
if that does no help go trough all switches and sliders in alsamixer |

Ooops . I should have guessed that "output" should not have been in there . xD
Here is the correct "lspci -k" :

I already have pciutils installed, as well as usbutils, but none of my speakers are usb-based, as you can see here :

"alsamixer -c0" yields "this device does not have any controls" .
"alsamixer -c1" yields the usual alsamixer interface, to which the three interfaces are "Master, Beep, and BaseFRQ" .
Note that "Beep, and BaseFRQ" do not have any volume control . Though "Beep" has the "00" green square .
This means that I do not have "Headphone, PCM, Front, Front Mic, or Surround" .
"alsamixer -c2" yields the interface "S/PDIF," which also has the "00" green square .
Oh my .. "alsamixer -c3" yielded the interface that I was to expect, complete with "Master, Speaker, Speaker 1, PCM, and Front Mic Jack Mode" !!
This is a huge step toward getting my soundcard to work properly .
And anything above "-c3" yields an invalid index .
Here are some (very) rough pastes of the four alsamixer interfaces I mentionned .

I have changed the references to "card" in /etc/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf to the value of "3" .
Everything now seems to work as it should .
Marking this thread as solved, for now .  |
