I've solved it by removing midi support from the kernel.  |

Hi,
i solved the problem by disabling the dummy sound device in the kernel and upgrading the alsa-lib.

| have you tried switching the external amplifier button in the alsa mixer (worked for me on gnome alsa mixer and the console based alsa mixer)? |

What do you mean with "switching" ? Unmute ?
If so, yes I already muted and unmuted this button (I only use console alsamixer) with no success |

yes that what helped me. does your sound work with older kernels? (eg. 2.6.3) |

| yes It worked with older kernels. But from when I installed my new kernel it also didn't work anymore with the older ones :S |

I just recently installed Gentoo (switched from Fedora Core 1) from a stage 3 install the other day. I am using the Gentoo dev-sources kernel 2.6.5 and I too have no sound from alsa.
The modules load properly, and I get no error messages. When I run aplay <soundfile>.wav it acts as if it were playing; however, I get no sound. I have an AC97 sound on my motherboard (VIA 82xx).
Alsa used to work perfectly when I used to run Gentoo on my same machine using the 2.4 kernel. Could this problem be specific to the 2.6.5 kernel?? Any ideas?
BTW: I am using ~x86 |

| did you try the external amplifier switch that was mentioned here before? worked fine for me. and also you dont need to compile the alsa-drivers package anymore, you can now take the alsa modules from the kernel. but if you prefer to use the alsa-drivers modules for your soundcard you have to recompile the when switching the kernel. |

I do not have the same problem, although I must set alsamixer Master and PCM to 100% or something, else I have no sound. Is there any way to set a standard for alsamixer or something?

Ok.. I solved the problem. Here is what I did:
1) deleted the alsastate.cfg file described in the bugzilla entry in an earlier post.
2) In Gnome 2.6, in the volume-control applet, I noticed there was an entry called PCM2 set to 0%. I boosted PCM2 to 100% and viola... sound worked! (PCM1 was already at 100%).
FYI.. I have onboard AC97 sound provided by via82xx. |

i noticed that there was a small title-less tab at the top of gnome alsamixer, this led me to conclude that somehting else had stolen the address hw0,0 if i made the card hw1,0 the default it worked, my .asounrc is as follows
| Code: |
# ~/.asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
#periods 128
rate 44100
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
|
to make this global put it in /etc/asound.conf instead
this probably explains why removing midi support or the null device fixed it for some people |

| I'm having the same problems with my Vortex2. I haven't tried any other kernels since this is a new install. Unfortunately the solutions posted here don't seem to be working. Turning on and off the External Amp doesn't do anything and XMMS won't work at all when the output is set to alsa. I even tried to emerge alsa-drivers but the emerge failed. This sucks. |
