 Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2005 6:46 pm Post subject: Sound in Toshiba Tecra A4? |
 |
|
I compiled the drivers:
Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller
Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD MC97 Modem (EXPERIMENTAL)
as modules, and at boot (I hava alsasound in the default runlevel) I receive a message saying something like:
| Code: |
Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected drivers
|
Of course, I tried compiling the drivers as builtin, but no way...
has anybody managed to get sound in the Tecra A4?
Aren't these the correct drivers? When I type lspci, I get among other things:
| Code: |
0000:00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 04)
|
Thanks (I hope) |

Sorry for the stupid question, but have you run alsaconf? If so, do you see your card and are you able to configure it?

Sorry for the delay.
mmm... It wasn't a stupid question. I hadn't tried alsaconf for alsaconf hadn't never worked for me. I tried... Now alsaconf tells me everything is fine but no sound, and dmesg says:
| Code: |
rustneversleeps ~ # dmesg |grep -i alsa -A 2
ALSA device list:
No soundcards found.
oprofile: using timer interrupt.
|
I'm wondering whether it might be something in my /etc/modules.d/alsa:
| Code: |
rustneversleeps ~ # cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.4 2004/11/16 01:31:22 eradicator Exp $
# ALSA portion
# OSS/Free portion
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss

alsaconf seems good. What's the output of /etc/init.d/alsaconf restart? And did you run alsamixer to unmute your card?

And, yes, I have unmuted my card. |

Looking better I see you've more OSS stuff than me. I have a Toshiba Tecra M2, lspci shows
| Code: | | 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) |
This is my /etc/modules.d/alsa (without comments)
| Code: | alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 |
Relevant lines from .config
| Code: | #

CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=m

Finally, I stayed with no sound for a long, probably after upgrading my kernel. I discovered that I had to unmute external amplifier in alsamixer. You may want to try.

Didn't anyone get the sound to work in the Toshiba Tecra A4?
I wanted to bump the post, just in case... |
