 Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:40 pm Post subject: yet another Audigy LS problem |
 |
|
Hello!
Ok, after much gnashing of teeth I've been finally able to get my audigy ls working... well, sorta.
Short story: all modules seem to load fine, I'm using the "snd-audigyls" module, /dev/dsp is being created, I can run alsamixer... BUT - when I run alsamixer ( or 'kmix' under KDE ), only the headphone output is provided for muting/unmuting and turning up/down the volume - i.e., no Master, Master Mono or PCM. Now, at least that would be *something* - but unmuting the headphone and turning up sound, I still don't hear anything; so it doesn't really work for whatever reason, despite all appearances.
Below are the ( exhaustive ) relevant details:
| Code: |
denise linux # uname -a
Linux denise 2.6.9-gentoo-r2 #1 Mon Nov 1 00:28:43 i686 Celeron (Mendocino) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
|
| Code: |
denise linux # emerge -p alsa-utils alsa-oss alsa-driver alsa-lib
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I guess that's about it...
I compiled my kernel ( 2.6.9-r2 ) w/ genkernel - and I disabled the inkernel support for oss and alsa; leaving only general sound support:
| Code: |
<SNIP>
#
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=y
#
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
#
# CONFIG_SND is not set
#
# Open Sound System
#
# CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set
<SNIP>
|
Thanks a ton for any help you can provide - it's much appreciated, as I'd _really_ like to get some use out of this d@mn sound card I just bought...
( I should have been more carefull choosing a supported card before making the purchase. )
Cheers,
Corey |

corey_s,
I've got a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit card, which is supposed to require the snd-audigyls driver. I've followed your details to the letter but no dice.

peter96362930 -- I'm afraid I don't have much to offer as far as help goes... but here's a total shot in the dark:
Did you emerge hotplug? Try doing that, and be sure to add it to your rc at boot : rc-update add hotplug boot
Also make sure that 'alsasound' is similarly added to 'boot' ( not 'default' ).
I don't know whether, after booting w/ hotplug, that you'll need to re-run genkernel ( I really doubt it, but.... )
Finally, another shot in the dark that runs counter to general linux ideaology - is after you emerge hotplug, and you've added hotplug and alsasound to 'boot' .... try doing a clean reboot.
/etc/init.d/hotplug start
and
/etc/init.d/alsasound start ( or restart )
_should_ do the trick without reboot - but I'm not quite certain exactly how/when the sound card gets detected ( and thus stored under /proc/asound/cards ).
Good luck, bro!
Cheers,
Corey |

Thanks. I put hotplug to 'boot', alsasound was already there. After a reboot, I noticed this in dmesg;
| Code: |
ALSA /var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.6a/work/alsa-driver-1.0.6a/alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1904: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
ALSA /var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.6a/work/alsa-driver-1.0.6a/alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1912: AC'97 0 access is not valid [0x0], removing mixer.
AudigyLS: probe of 0000:00:06.0 failed with error -5
|
and
| Code: |
# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
# lspci | grep -i audigy
0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
|
so it looks like it just doesn't want to play nice with my card? |

| I don't know if this would help you out any, but I as well have the audigy ls card. I emerged the "alsamixergui" and found that only one of the things work, which is "analog front". That's all that can control my volume. Otherwise, nothing else worked for me. Also here is my post for troubles with this card. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=218991. Hopes that helps you out. |
