 |
|
Hi All,
I just purchased an Alienware M18x R2 and I am trying to get the mixer settings to work for my Intel PCH sound card. Also the
MIC is not working. I do not have Pulseaudio installed. I am using alsa-driver version 1.0.24 from the PF-Sources kernel-3.3.6
and the alsa-plugins, alsa-utilities and such are version 1.0.25.
I am using KDE 4.8.3. The device doesn't show up in Kmix but is displayed in Phonon. I am using the Gstreamer backend but I
also tried the VLC backend. The sound works but I cannot adjust the volumes accept through the application I am using...eg..smplayer.
In KMix the only device displayed is IEC958 and when I click the Mixer button, the only device displayed is HDA ATI HDMI.
When I run alsamixer I get the following error:
| Code: | % alsamixer
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument |
On Alsasound startup which I set to 'Boot' and restart, I get the following error:
| Code: | % sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: get_control:250: Cannot read control info '2,0,0,Mic-In Capture Volume,0': Invalid argument
* Error saving levels. [ !! ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ... |
The cards are:
| Code: | % cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xc3410000 irq 46
1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xc2040000 irq 47 |
The sound on the PCH card works but no mixer settings and the Mic is not working. When I plug in the MIC, the
sound is still outputted trough the speakers.
Here is my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf info:
| Code: | alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.25 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-laptop
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 |
If I change the model to 'Generic', it says that there aren't
any playback settings. I have tried to input models of CA0132,
PCH, auto, basic, alienware, del-m6 but to no avail.
I created an /etc/asound.conf file with the following:
| Code: | % cat /etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 0 |
Here is the info from Alsa-Info

Hi Tony,
I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you, but I think I have exactly the same problem.
I have an Alienware M17x-R4, and I am actually running Arch, not Gentoo, but I have observed that I have sound, but I'm unable to launch any mixer (neither alsamixer nor kmix).
I'm going to describe my issue here in case it helps you or someone else find a solution:
Running alsamixer:
| Code: |
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument
|
Restarting alsa:
| Code: |
$ sudo rc.d restart alsa
Password:
:: Saving ALSA Levels [BUSY]
/usr/sbin/alsactl: get_control:250: Cannot read control info '2,0,0,Mic-In Capture Volume,0': Invalid argument
[FAIL]
:: Restoring ALSA Levels [BUSY]
/usr/sbin/alsactl: get_control:250: Cannot read control info '2,0,0,Mic-In Capture Volume,0': Invalid argument
[FAIL]
|
cards:
| Code: |
0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xd2710000 irq 46
|
I had an HDMI card in there before; I may have hosed something while fiddling with this.
Keep in mind this is an Arch system, so the modprobe.conf is /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
| Code: |
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
|
I also couldn't find any hints as to what the right model might be. I tried 'alienware', 'generic', and 'CA0132'.
I have the same /etc/asound.conf:
| Code: |
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 0
|
My alsa-info is at: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b8a03d575a1817e8e709b9cce85169cd44a27ae9
To anyone reading this, I appreciate help you have to give, and please let me know what I can do to help get this resolved.
Thanks,
John |

Hi John,
Thanks for your input...We do have the same issue.
I went ahead and installed Pulseaudio, Veromix, pavucontrol and stopped KMix. I have sound with just the Master volume which now shows up in
Alsamixer but it is using 'Default'. If I change the card to Intel PCH, it craps out with the 'cannot load mixer controls' error. I can at least adjust
basic sound which is fine for now until this issue is resolved. My headphones work now but the speakers are not muted.
I added options snd-hda-intel model=PCH to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
I have my /etc/asound.conf file as
| Code: | pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
} |
I went ahead and added the pulseaudio use flag to /etc/make.conf. With Veromix I can
set the volume greater than 100% so the sound isn't low and the equalizer module in
Pulseaudio helps too.
For the moment I can at least control the volume without having an media player open which
is nice, especially when a video plays in ESPN.com
Hopefully a solution will come up soon. Since our laptops are brand new it might take some
time. At least my laptop screams.

on my M17xr3 this one did the trick in alsa.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6-amic

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the tip.I was also able to get the basic "master channel" volume control with just pulseaudio. I didn't install Veromix or pavucontrol, as kmix is able to control my volume with pulse installed. Like you, I am also seeing that the headphones work, but the speakers don't get muted.
Interestingly, I found that adding "options snd-hda-intel model=PCH" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf actually broke the system, such that there was no sound at all. I deleted the file, rebooted, and it seems to be working now.
My /etc/asound.conf looks like yours.
In KDE's System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon, the only device I have listed now is "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo", which I'm guessing is the device that pulse exposes.
Likewise, I'm content to at least be able to control the volume for now, until we get an update intel HDA driver. Let me know if you want me to run any configuration tests in the future; I'll check back here periodically.
Thanks,
-John |

Hi John,
I downloaded pf-sources 3.4 and patched it to 3.4.1. It has the alsa-driver 1.0.25.
I don't know why your options additions crapped out. Maybe the alsa version.
KMix works fine with Pulseaudio but the sound was too low. I can only set things
to 100% volume. With veromix I can set it greater than 100% and I use the
pulseaudio equalizer to fine tune the sound. So now I have KMix disabled on
startup in KDE and use Veromix which is in the KDE layman repository.
If I hear of anything else, I will post it here as I hope that you do.
Take care,
Tony |

Hi all, I just hit the same problem on Alienware M14x r2, kernel 3.4.4-gentoo.
I followed your suggestions and now I'm using pulse to set the volume to an acceptable level, but I can't find any method to disable speakers when using headphones. Any news on this?

| Same problem using Alienware M17x R4 on Kubuntu 12.04. I can work around the volume issue, but internal speakers are never muted when external speakers/headphones are plugged in. |

I tried all possible models but nothing changed
| Code: |
for i in `cat alsa.txt`; do
rmmod snd-hda-intel
rmmod snd-hda-codec-ca0132
rmmod snd-hda-codec-hdmi
rmmod snd-hda-codec
modprobe snd-hda-intel model=$i
alsamixer
done
|
Maybe we should file a bug to alsa (https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org)?

I posted a message to the alsa-user mailing list this morning. No replies yet. If I don't hear anything, I'll file a bug unless someone beats me to it.  |

Good news: i found a method to access the mixer while we wait a fix from ALSA people.
You can apply settings with amixer and cget/cset (get, set, sget and sset will crash as usual):
for example, to turn off speakers (but not headphones):
| Code: | | amixer -c 0 cset numid=1 off |
Remember to use the -c option to specify the right card if you have Pulse.
Read this for info about amixer.
Now, if you run amixer contents -c 0 you will notice a very short list of controls, because it crashes as soon as it gets the '2,0,0,Mic-In Capture Volume,0'.
So this is the complete list of channels for Alienware M15x R2 (no idea about others) from alsactl store:
| Code: |

There are 2 controls missing ('2,0,0,Mic-In Capture Volume,0' and '2,0,0,Mic Boost Capture Volume,0') because you can't manipulate them.
If this list doesn't work for you and you feel brave, you can compile your patched alsactl to get the info.
[EDIT]
I found that you can manually query the channels with: amixer -c 0 cget numid=[0-?] so patching alsa-utils is almost useless to get the list.
[/EDIT]
This patch forces alsactl to skip errors while saving mixer's state to file. I have no idea about the consequences of this. TRY AT YOUR RISK.
First, get alsa-utils-1.0.25, untar it and cd to the folder.
Apply the patch:
| Code: | --- alsa-utils-1.0.25/alsactl/state.c 2012-01-25 10:43:38.000000000 +0100
+++ alsa-utils-1.0.25-patched/alsactl/state.c 2012-07-03 20:13:15.299087305 +0200
@@ -640,7 +640,8 @@
snd_ctl_elem_list_get_id(list, idx, elem_id);
err = get_control(handle, elem_id, control);
if (err < 0)
- goto _free;
+ fprintf(stderr, "alsactl: skipping '%li'...\n", idx);
+ //goto _free;
}
err = 0;
|
Compile it (DO NOT make install !!!):
./configure
make
Now you can launch "alsactl/alsactl store -c 0 controls.txt" to get the full list. Alsactl will print the unusable channels.

Info from upstream: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5596
If you hate pulseaudio like me, you can try this quick patch. Speakers still don't mute when earphones are plugged, but now you can toggle them from alsamixer. I don't know why, but that switch doesn't appear under kmix.
Set PCM as default channel and enjoy.

Hi,
I have an Alienware m14x r3 I'm having some sound problems.
I only get audio on the hdmi output and not with all video and audio players.
I'm posting some of my config files:

Probably some applications are still trying to use the main output, kde applications follows phonon rules, vlc follows its own preferences, like mplayer, audacious, etc. etc.
If you have pulse you should check its settings too.
Since you have my same model, you can try my patch (this fixes headphones and speakers):

(this is almost the same patch of the post above, but you can apply this with the "patch" command)
If you find strange audio behaviour, suspend to ram and wake up. For example, if you boot windows and then linux, you won't get any sound (or very distorted) until you suspend (reboot won't have any effect).

I've suspended and now I have audio but If I modify the volume it does not change so I always have the same level of audio.
I dont know if its important but I'm not using pulseaudio. |

You should apply my patch, use pulseaudio or read the above posts about 'amixer cset'.

zoemk,
Apply pierino_89's patch. If you follow the steps that are laid out in this thread you should be fine using Alsa or Pulsaudio.
I have tried both and I prefer Pulseaudio with Veromix because I can set the volume past 100%. There is a Veromix Plasma
Widget for KDE, which I use and also Veromix-GTK which I am messing with while customizing FVWM. |

i forgot to tell you that with Veromix you can select Speakers or Headphones from the menu
to select which one to use instead if using amixer cset |

That's interesting. Did you tune pulseaudio in some way? I get a terrible lag while using skype and any other program.

No I didn't. I installed the patch, installed Pulseaudio, gst-plugins-pulse and veromix (the kde plasma applet version) and it is there.
I can left click on the veromix icon, select ports and bith speakers and headphones are there. There is a little bug in it that I haven't
figured out.
When I plug in the headphones and select headphones, the speakers are turned off and the headphones work. When I unplug the
headphones, the speakers automatically turn on even when the headphones is selected. To get headphones to work again I have
to change the settings to speakers and change it back to headphones.

I figured out, there is a pulse module (module-role-cork) that mutes all other streams when skype or similar programs are active.
The bug of headphones/speakers is in the alsa module, even without pulse it only reacts when you unplug the headphones.
If you plug headphones again it ignores it, and you have to disable speakers in alsamixer.
That module really need some love.
