 Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2005 4:23 am Post subject: No sound on p4p800 mobo [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I need help before I throw this computer in the trash. I've been trying to get sound. Is that too much to ask? Can you tell I'm frustrated?
I have a Asus P4P800 mobo with onboard sound. Here's my output from lspci:
Audio Controller:
Intel Corp 82801EB/ER (ICH5 / ICH5R) AC'91 Audio Controller (rev 02)
I've following the directions in the alsa-guide.xml document and I was unsuccessful.
I searched these message boards and found that people used Intel8x0 for my sound card. great. I therefore followed the directions in the document and went into "make menuconfig" and selected the following:
| Code: | PCI devices --->
<M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/Ali AC97 Controller
|
I also did the other stuff in the documentation. I did not do the part for alsa-driver at first, but that didn't help either.
I then ran alsaconf and this is the output of my alsa file:
| 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 1.0.9a ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-*** err [lib/liblow.c(329)]:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-*** err [lib/liblow.c(329)]:
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
|
I see ERROR!!!!!!!!!! And of course... nothing works. When I run alsamixer, I get an error right away about some directory not found.
I decided 1 week ago to install gentoo and I'm still working on it. I'm getting very frustrated. I'm sure it's my lack of knowledge and these boards have been awesome, but it's getting tiresome. HELP!
nite.

you mean AC97 right?
that being the case first I would ask you to emerge -C alsa-drivers.
then we want to rebuild your kernel after changing a few settings as follows
Device-drivers -->Sound -->as modules
disable OSS for the time being, it wont be imediately needed and you can fiddle later if you want. 
go into alsa support and change to these
<M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<M> Sequencer support
<M> Sequencer dummy client
<M> OSS Mixer API
<M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
(*) OSS Sequencer API
<M> RTC Timer support
under PCI devices -->you have chosen the correct intel module, but disable everything else in that menu.
Now compile and install your kernel and modules (It seems like you grok how that works right?)
change /etc/modules.d/alsa to look like this
| Quote: |
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## 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-0 snd-intel8x0
## OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
# OSS/Free portion - 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
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
options snd cards_limit=1
|
then run modules-update
reboot. (not strictly essential, but faster to do/explain than restarting services maually )
you sound should work now. MAke sure you have the correct jack point for lineout, and that the master and pcm are both unmuted. If you are in kde, kmix is a neat tool for this. and Control Center allows restarting arts painlessly.
Now we know that you explicitly disabled oss in menuconfig, but the above lines are useful for loading all the fruit that gets compiled in anyway. do an lsmod if you dont beleive me! |

THANK YOU!!!!! Worked like a champ. The volume's a little low, but I think I can adjust that by going back into alsamixer and jack the master to max.
I would have never figured this out so thank you for your help! |
