Just put this system together this past weekend.

I've been trying to get the sound to work, but i'm not sure what my problem is. I've gone through the alsa tutorial and consulted numerous other posts on the matter, but nothing seems to work for me.

I used genkernel to compile the 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel.

When I # lsmod I get:

Code:

snd_via82xx            21280  0
snd_ac97_codec         65888  1 snd_via82xx


When I # lspci I get:

Code:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2)


When I # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart I get:
Code:

* WARNING:  you are stopping a boot service.
 * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels...                                        [ ok ]

 * Restoring Mixer Levels...                                           [ ok ]


From all appearences, it should be working. I do get some scratchy sounds through the speakers when aRts says that sound should be playing. I'm downloading knoppix right now to test to see if the board will play sound with that. I haven't actually got sound through anything else yet. Any help would be great.

Have you run alsamixer or amixer to unmute everything?

What does

Code:

ls -ltd /dev/snd

and
Code:

ls -ltd /dev/snd/*


show?

The owner should be root and the group should be audio

The user you are using to play the sound with should be in the audio group

The permissions should be rw for owner, group and other

I just played movix2 on it, and the sound worked great, so I know its not a flaw in the mother board. It would be easier to figure out if i got an error, but as of right now I can't find one. There just isn't sound where there should be. Any help would be great. I'd hate to have to go down a kernel just for sound.

Can you locate a .wav file and use aplay to play it.

Can do this from the command line before you start KDE

I'm part-way through a test-build on a spare partition, & i just discovered some alsamixer-levels i hadn't seen before...

Open 'alsamixer' in a terminal & hold down the right-hand arrow-key until the level-controls stop scrolling past. The last four are called 'VIA DXS 0'' through 'VIA DXS 3'. 'VIA DXS 0', the fourth from the end, needs to be set to 100.

I should've read this more thoroughly before my previous post, sorry :oops:

I think all those 'broken pipe' messages are why you have no sound, & they're saying that alsa can't access the hardware. That usually happens because something else already has exclusive access.

Now, i don't use kde, but i vaguely recall having no end of grief with 'arts' when i did - it didn't seem to want to 'play nice with others'. Is it possible to disable 'artsd', & configure all necessary app's to use alsa directly? (I read in another thread that kde are gonna drop arts - i wonder why...? :roll: )

Well, I've concluded its not an artsd thing. I restarted and tried to play a sound with aplay to no avail. I've also installed icewm to take kde out of the equation, but the sound still doesn't work. Is there a kernel 2.6.10 sound expert out there? I've sort of run out of ideas of where to even look for errors. When the modules load on boot up, everything looks fine. When I try to play a sound with aplay, it doesn't give me any errors. I'm about ready to try and figure out how to move to the 2.4 kernel, i don't think there are as many alsa problems with that. Any help would be great.

I've ran alsaconf several times and that hasn't helped.

Here's my #cat /proc/asound/cards

Code:

0 [V8235          ]: VIA8233 - VIA 8235
                     VIA 8235 with CMI9761 at 0xe000, irq 5

This might ramble a bit, because it's 5am for me, & although i can't sleep, i'm very tired...

First, i have the same onboard soundcard as you (though i think a different codec). To get it working, i need the following enabled in the kernel (i make them modular, but it's not vital):- soundcore; snd; snd-mixer-oss; snd-pcm-oss; snd-via82xx. Some other stuff gets pulled in because of module dependancies.

I now use 'udev' as my device-manager, instead of 'devfsd', & life is so much easier. In either case, the next step i need to take is to edit /etc/modules.d/alsa. Here's an extract of the only alterations:
Code:
##
##  ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
##  OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##

...Note the two lines with the leading hashes removed.

Once that's done, i need to run 'modules-update' to incorporate the changes into /etc/modules.conf.

Next (if i'm using modules), i need them to load at boot. With 'udev' that takes care of itself. With 'devfsd', as i remember, i had to add 'snd-via82xx' & 'snd-pcm-oss' to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. No others were necessary, as those two pulled in every other required module as a dependancy. On one install of another distro, i also had to adjust the files which 'devfsd' used to register devices, but i'll come back to that only if necessary.

So once that's configured, i should have (amongst others) snd-via82xx & snd-pcm-oss in the output of 'lsmod', & the device symlink /dev/dsp (this is what the 'oss-emulation' uses, & gets created when 'snd-pcm-oss' is loaded - i can't hear anything without it).

Lastly, i open 'alsamixer' in a maximised terminal, set 'Master' to 100 & unmute, set 'PCM' to approx. 80 & unmute, set 'VIA DXS 0' to 100 (it doesn't mute, anyway), & zero the rest (CD isn't required by 'XMMS' if you set the 'CD audio plugin' to 'Digital extraction') & close alsamixer. Then, because this process only really occurs for me during a system-build, i run '/etc/init.d/alsasound start && rc-update add alsasound boot'. (EDIT: And add my user to the 'audio' group, of course)

As you might note, i don't use 'alsaconf', because i never have & therefore don't know how. I do hear it's quite painless, though. If any of the above differs from your configuration, see if changing it helps. Pay particular attention to 'snd-pcm-oss' & '/dev/dsp'. Good luck...

I have the same setup, however my problem is that my /proc/asound/cards is empty!?!? How can I get proc to detect my sound card?

I will post more info later today as I'm not anywhere near my tuxbox at the moment...

I'm having a similar kind of problem. I cannot for the life of me get it to play any sound at all.
Amd64 on a MSI K8MM-ILSR Via 8237 southbridge, RealTek ALC655 sound AC '97 compat.
Here's a funny thing for ya
Code:
0 [rev60          ]: VIA8233 - VIA 823x rev60
                     VIA 823x rev60 at 0xc000, irq 193

Look closely at the irq... I'm hoping that it's just a need an updated driver. I was using the built in one in the kernel (2.6.9-gentoo-r14; gentoo-dev-sources)
emerge alsa-driver is complaining that ALSA is already compiled into the kernel. Working on getting that resolved... I'll post back later tonight once I get the ebuild to deal with alsa for me.

Regards,
Petyr

synthek - check your bios, you may have the sound disabled

Petyr - I have the same irq number and have no problems with the sound from the VIA.
I have downloaded version 1.0.8 of alsa ( I have an audigyls that I can't get a peep out of).

trentvb alsaconf should show you the card it is going to configure and create a file in /etc/modules.d called alsa. It runs modules-update and updates /etc/modules.conf

Can you

Code:

/etc/init.d/alsasound stop
dmesg -c
/etc/init.d/alsasound start
dmesg

When i first assembled my pc, the irq's for the onboard pci-components were allover the place. Lan was where sound should be, sound was where usb should be, usb was where agp should be, & agp was... Well, who needs graphics, anyway?

I fixed that with a bios upgrade, & by setting the bios-option for 'extended irq's' to 'pic', instead of 'apic'. If you have 'apic' selected in your bios, i suspect that it would still be okay, but would need the appropriate kernel-support.

Err... This is odd. Since changing XMMS's output plugin from OSS to ALSA, udev seems to have decided to no longer create all the oss-emulation stuff (/dev/dsp, /dev/sound/*), & yet i still have sound working perfectly...

Haven't got my head round this one, yet, but it might be worth others looking at reconfiguring their app's... :roll:

Let me start by saying thank you to all involved. I got it working.........well sort of.

I went back through the alsa howto and I noticed that when I tried to install the alsa-driver it said that it was already configured into the 2.6 kernel. Before I thought that that was good enough. I guess not.

I reconfigured the kernel, recompiled without ALSA support, went throught the rest of the steps in the tutorial and....viola. aplay worked wonderfully out of kde. I started up kde and played the test sound and that works also. However, none of the other media players that installed with kde work. I think its and artsd thing. Does anyone know anything about that?

It should be possible to configure 'arts' to use 'alsa', but as i said before, i haven't used kde for a long time...

Congratulations, though! :P

dmesg output

         Please try dxs_support=1 or dxs_support=4 option

PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:11.5 to 64

I've upgraded to the 1.0.8 drivers and still no joy. At least it's saying the correct chipset though... APIC is enabled, and the bios doesn't give me an option on the individual pci slots.
I even tried running alsaconf to let it try and do it thinking "Maybe I'm just stoopid somewhere..."
Still no sound.
Any ideas?

One thing I did get, i popped the speakers into the mic slot and hit the Mic as Center/LFE and got a pop outta the speakers. That's it though.
