 Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 5:17 am Post subject: ALSA - I'm officially stuck [DESPERATE] |
 |

I really didn't want to have to post a question, since there are about a million ALSA posts on here, I figured I could figure it by reading them all, but I'm obviously missing something here. I'll just post what happens, and I have M'd the OSS's and the ALSA in my Kernel, selected the ac97 also.

Hmm..
| Code: | | lspci -v | grep -i audio |
Lists your sound card, correct?
I wonder if something else is using the card. Have you tried just loading only the intel_8x0 module? |

Okay, I'm refeshed! I got more than 4 hours of sleep, what a difference it makes. I'll do as you ask, and only put snd-intel8x0 into my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Be right back |

| Should I just start over with the Driver installation instead of the Kernel installation of ALSA. If so, how do I make ensure a clean start? |

I reckon that's not a bad shout. Adjust your kernel config as per the howto, make & install your kernel emerge alsa-driver, reboot.

I hate it when I'm right.
Okie Dokie. here's what I've done thus far. I went ahead and redid my kernel, and I nixxed out everything to do with sound, and tred to do an emerge alsa-driver. Said I had no sound card support, so I went back and built in sound card supoprt in the device drvier section [*] .
Tried again. Alsa-Driver took, and I then emerged alsa-utils
Good to go.
Now, I tried to run alsamixer... same damn thing!!! UGH! I'm breaking out the beer for this one. I've been at this for about 5 days now... everything else is perfect. I can even load up UT2004 (my favorite game) with the full graphics, but I refuse to play until I have sound.
Here's a recap of what I did, and what resulted:

Alright, now I'm getting somewhere.. no where good, but at least a start. I managed to get alsamixer to start... here's the rundown. 2 hours to go before the spousal-unit arrives. I would really like to play some UT before she gets home!!! 
I did a udev
and then:
alsamixer
I unmuted everything I needed to, and turned them up.
Then I did a:
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart
| Code: |
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ... [ ok ]
* Unloading ALSA ... [ ok ]
* Unloading ALSA modules ... [ ok ]
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-seq ... [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ... [ ok ] |
Okay.... confused.. why what helped... but okay
so, I run the standard:
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
| Code: | bash: /dev/dsp: No such device
|
BUT!!!!
if I do:
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sound
nothing happens! Which is better, I guess... no errors... but no sound.
Also, when I restart alsasound, I hear a pop in my speakers... so...
Yeah... help? |

/dev/dsp is the OSS device - to get it with alsa, you need to emerge the driver with the oss USE flag - this may be what's causing your problem.
| Code: | echo 'media-sound/alsa-driver oss' >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge alsa-driver
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart |

NO , you need to emege alsa-oss.
There is every chance that the game will use oss so you test is a good idea, but to see if you have alsa working on its own try playing an mp3

unless I have lost track of where you are you are now using portage alsa-driver, so what are these "ALSA modules". I seems likely that the kernel modules are still there even though you did not chose to build them this time.
try look in/around /usr/lib/modules/drivers and delete them.
I did post a lot of detail about this about 6mths back, but like you say there's a hell of a lot of "alsa dont work for me" post, so you can be forgiven for not finding it.
If you go for portage alsa you need to indicate your sound card in /etc/make.conf
eg
| Code: | ### additional ALSA stuff ###
#define drivers req when compiling alsa-driver _package_
ALSA_CARDS="ens1371 cmipci #es1938 " # not snd-ens1371 !
|
I would favour built-in if you are getting stuck, I think it's clearer what is happening , but both should work just as well once you've got around the yotchas.
Kernel method :
uninstall everything alsa-ish
add everything you need to kernel , rebuild , reboot
in chosing modules : use alsa, alsa-oss and _disable_ oss , add you sound card driver.
restart alsa , test.
portage alsa:
turn off all but sound card support. rebuild reboot.
delete the kernel module files
emerge alsa-oss alsa-driver alsa-lib alsa-utils
restart alsa ; test/

Here's what's in my /usr/lib/modules/drivers
apm_drv.o dummy_drv.o nvidia_drv.o sis_drv.o
ark_drv.o fbdev_drv.o r128_drv.o tdfx_drv.o
ati_drv.o glint_drv.o radeon_drv.o tga_drv.o

cirrus_drv.o mga_drv.o s3virge_drv.o vga_drv.o
cirrus_laguna.o neomagic_drv.o savage_drv.o
cyrix_drv.o nv_drv.o siliconmotion_drv.o
I don't see anything in there that looks like it's sounds related, any ideas?
And how would you suggest uninstalling everything ALSA-ish, I haven't needed to uninstall anything yet.... if I go the Kernel route? |

Is that true? I don't have it emerged, and OSS emulation seems to work fine for me?

No, it's not. You were right earlier. Emerge'ing alsa-driver with the oss USE flag is what's wanted. The alsa-oss package provides alsa-fied oss libs that apps can use, but not the actual oss emulation itself, that's done in the driver.

I can't quite believe you were told to look in /usr/lib/modules/drivers ... take a look - a bit of common sense tells you that those are graphics card/chip drivers used by the X server. Nothing whatsoever to do with alsa, or indeed sound.
The kernel modules are stored in (note _no_ /usr) - /lib/modules/2.6.whatever.kernel.you.have
My advice would be to delete that directory, cd to /usr/src/linux, make clean, make menuconfig - make sure the alsa drivers are not being built, make && make modules_install, copy over bzImage etc etc, reboot, emerge alsa-driver, check alsaconf works OK, make sure alsasound init script is in the boot runlevel (rc-update show), reboot and you should be good to go.
Sometimes 'old' mixer settings that are now defunct can confuse the alsa mixer restore state at boot, just run alsamixer and escape out, should save the new, relevant settings

The alsasound script can load driver and save/restore sound.
Take all snd things out of modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.
In /etc/modules.d/alsa
| Code: | ## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
|
modules-update
rc-update add alsasound boot.
Reboot, probably get warning to unmute channels, but use alsamixer or kmix, whatever. Subsequent reboots should save and restore volumes.
Assuming you using intel8x0 driver from kernel, emerging alsa-utils which pull in alsa-lib and alsa-headers is it.
Configuring X should be much worse |

alsaconf util creates a more thorough entry, and also runs modules-update for you.

Alright, I went ahead and deleted /usr/lib/modules/kernelxxx
went to /usr/src/linus and make my menuconfig, with only sound card support (I used the * instead of the M - should I use an M, instead)
emerged my nvidia-kernel
emered my alsa-driver
ran alsaconf

okay... now... if I do a killall udev it says:
| Code: | | udev: no process killed |
then I do a udevstart... and everything works fine... ????
I can now go into alsamixer and unmute everything. I just played a WAV file on Gnome... UGH! I'm so frickin confused. There's still no sound in UT2004 though... |

Okay, I'm refeshed! I got more than 4 hours of sleep, what a difference it makes. I'll do as you ask, and only put snd-intel8x0 into my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Be right back |
Sorry for the inaccurate info on the driver location, I was posting from memory since the forum search is so challenged I couldnt even locate my own post.
Anyway using kernel alsa is a lot easier to see what's going on , sound choise.
[M] vs [*] wont change anything that will make it work or not but does make it easier to see the modules using lsmod, this can help debugging it.
Ahh, just got your post about udev.
You have a udev tarball issue.
grep -e TARBALL -e RC_DEVICES /etc/conf.d/rc
If is shows TARBALL="yes" edit the file and change to "no" .
udev is supposed to handle all devices live , tarballing makes it fixed and will stop it working!
I think this is historical . When udev was first brought into Gentoo it did not work ! so tarball stopped it messing up the system.
"yes" will slightly speed up boot on condition you never change your hardware, if you do it will stop udev doing it's job.
without the tarball I think you should start seeing the missing devices

I have been reading here and my problem is with the ALSA drivers as well. This is the only error that I can get up, I am not quite sure.....your posts in here have helped me. But if you tell me to do something please tell me the code and step by step, I am still learning. I am compiling the audio from the kernel and using a via-82xx. I followed the instructions from the guide off the website so my settings are identical except for being my VIA driver.
When I type "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart"

Umm, alsamixer works fine and I have everything unmuted and volume level raised.
I try to check the audio with this command | Code: | | cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp |
or | Code: | | cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sound/dsp |
There is no directory. I check into the dev folder and I don't find a sound folder at all, only these folders:
| Code: | .udevdb/ cciss/ cpu/ dri/ ida/ input/ misc/ pts/ rd/ snd/ vc/
ataraid/ cdroms/ discs/ fd/ ide/ loop/ net/ pty/ shm/ tts/ vcc/
|
I just don't get what to do, orginally I started out with the non kernel module but that did not work so I completely took it off by unmering ALSA and tried Kernel.....no luck yet. Thanks for any help. |

Q. Do you have module autoloading enabled in your kernel?
You really should stick with the alsa-driver ebuild rather than the in-kernel alsa support, it matches the versions of alsa-utils etc that you install via ebuilds as well, which is one of the causes of symbol errors.
I take it there was a typo (?) earlier when you said you deleted /usr/lib/modules/whatever?
You should be able to use sound card support as a module in the kernel btw, but I just compile it in (* it, basically).
I think the best way forward for you is to back out of everything, and start fomr scratch using the alsa guide in the Gentoo Doc section, and follow it _really_ carefully, because it is easy to make a mistake. Alsa is deceptively simple to get working, but if you screw up one step of it, as you're finding out, it can be a real bitch to get working.
What USE flags do you have btw?
You should probably unmerge all your alsa stuff, rebuild your kernel as per the alsa doc, deleteing your /lib/modules/2.6.* directory first, and make sure the new kernel is installed properly. Then re-emerge the alsa driver and utils, and run alsaconf again. There's probably a config file somewhere screwing things up, or an old kernel-level alsa module somewhere.

@Shadow-Warrior
Have you checked out-
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
You really should go with the alsa-driver ebuild route. And if you have the oss USE flag, it will build alsa with oss emulation, which looks like it might be an issue for you. Did you compile all the alsa stuff as modules, or straight into the kernel? If you're going to use the kernel alsa, use it as modules, and let the alsasound boot script load the right ones for you. You need kernel module autoloading for this to work.
Do not manually load any alsa modules using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, and make sure alsaconf has configured your card properly. If you use alsa-driver ebuild, you can specify what kind of card you have in /etc/make.conf (instructions in the URL above) to build only the driver you need rather than all of them.

be aware of two things :
1. most emerges will install dependancies, these are not remove by emerge -C ....
if you emerge alsa it will pull in things like alsa-headers , etc. some of these may conflict with the kernel method when swapping back and forth.
should tell you what alsa stuff is installed or not.
2. emerge alsa is a virtual ; it can refer to kernel or the portage version depending which you did last , once you have built it into the kernel emerge alsa will try to reinstall your kernel source (since this is where your alsa source is). This can be confusing and emerge -C alsa may _not_ do what you expect! (Although it will only remove the kernel source code , not your kernel.)
if you want alsa package specify emerge alsa-driver rather than emerge alsa.
Doctor Corndog,
I've just been rereading your posts , your lspci shows only an nvidia device, where is the intel8x0 that you are trying to configure?
If you're are sure you have an intel sound card and it does not show on lspci it is likely a hardware fault. Probably a dead card. A quick check would be to boot from a live CD like Knoppix and see if it finds it and if you have sound . If so come back and have another go at alsa.

| I just unemerged the ALSA driver and it did not touch the kernel driver. I installed Cedega and during the tests it showed my ALSA driver to be fine, just the OSS....I really don't want to mess up the ALSA and anything else by deleting my modules folder. (especially taking any risks with my ATI card) Gonna try setting it to autoload, and see what happens. |
