Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2006 12:13 am Post subject: Alsa intel8x0 no sound

Hi everyone!

I had a working Alsa with two cards and now my first card, intel8x0 has no sound

Code:

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

has no effect

I have tried downgrading alsa-utils, using alsa-drivers not the kernel drivers, deleted /etc/asound.state and unmute cards again to no avail still I have no sound on
intel8x0, I do have another sound card thats working OK. last week both were working OK I am not entirely sure what I have changed but not config files anyway
here is some info;

Code:

Just letting you know you're not alone with this problem. After an update 2 weeks ago, I've lost all sound on a dual soundcard system! Before that, sound worked perfect.

hope guys that it will help you

Guys you cannot use simultaneously external alsa and alsa from the kernel.
Switch off everything in the kernel regarding sound except

Code:

CONFIG_SOUND=y

and then
emerge alsa-driver alsa-utils

After that you should enjoy you sound from Intel cheap.

if you have 1 sound card why would need to mention a second card

It doesn't really matter, does it ?
As long it is working :wink:

I have got 2 cards, second one is modem, but it is commented in alsa file.
Never had a time to test if modem is working or not.
2 modules:
snd_intel8x0
snd_intel8x0m

Code:

/etc/make.conf
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0 intel8x0m"

My dual card setup is not producing sound through the primary card(intel8x0). It is however producing sound through the secondary card(usb-audio Logitech USB Headset).

This is a fresh install on a new system the hardware is as follows:

Asus P4C800 Deluxe
P4 3.0ghz
Western Digital Raptor 36.6 sata hdd
1 gig DDR ram (2x512 modules)
I doubt any other hardware is relevant the asus motherboard however has onboard sound card using the intel8x0

Code:

g20061 ~ # lspci | grep audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
g20061 ~ #

my kernel version:

Code:

g20061 ~ # ls /boot/|grep genkernel

initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.17-gentoo-r8

From what else I see everything is pretty much the same as anyone else in this post who is having problems. However being as this is a new install on new hardware I can not say I have had this setup working before. I followed pretty much every ALSA guide I could find on gentoo docs and on the unofficial wiki, to no avail. My usb headset sound out is working(I have not tested the input yet).

Any help is appreciated, I am pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. I am almost ready to chuck the usb headset and install a single card only(intel8x0).

Thanks.

After alsaconf I get this

Code:

Running modules-update...

Setting default volumes...
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1163: No soundcards found...

My setup is like mysiar's, but this:

Code:

00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)

Same intel8x0 driver tough....

everytime I try alsamixer I get:

Code:

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot

for me, a reinstall of udev to dev-100-r2 and a restart of alsa seems to have fixed it
