Hi,

I got myself a replacement for my fried HP Laptop. And now I sit here and the baby is absolutely quiet. Not that quiet is bad, but I want it to "scream" some music. :lol:

I am using gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r4 and have already tried alsa-driver. No change.

I read in Ubuntu fora that you have to specify module parameters to get it recognized. I tried each an everything I found, but to no avail.

I tried unmuting the devices using alsamixer and the old
Code:
amixer -sset Master 100 unmute

Method. Still nothing to hear.

I am using baselayout 2 and openrc. I am using this module settings:
Code:
> cat /etc/conf.d/modules
modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} fglrx"
module_fglrx_args_2_6=""

modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} snd_hda_intel"
#module_snd_hda_intel_args_2_6="model=laptop enable=1 index=0"
#module_snd_hda_intel_args_2_6="model=laptop"
module_snd_hda_intel_args_2_6="model=hp position_fix=1 enable=yes"


I tried each of the module_snd_hda_intel_args_2_6 lines.

These modules are loaded:
Code:

Anybody has solved that problem or sees something that I am doing wrong (it's been quite a while that I had to mess with alsa :roll: )?

Thanks in advance for any hint,

fangorn

I followed the official guide and also did try some things I remembered from earlier guides when the new one failed. (like the amixer commands).

I also tried configuring it with alsaconf after the autoconfiguration failed miserably.

in dmesg I see this when alsasound starts
Code:
HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A disabled
HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: power state changed by ACPI to D0
HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16


and there is an error message when first accessing the device.

Code:
hda-intel: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead.


indifferently from what module parameters I set. Therefore I'm suspecting that somehow my module options are not recognized.

Code:
# emerge -pv openrc baselayout udev

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0  USE="-build" 23 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/openrc-0.4.1-r1  USE="ncurses pam unicode -debug" 142 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/udev-141  USE="(-selinux)" 438 kB


Edit:
As told on the various Web Pages the headphone jack is working. Just the internal speakers don't play anything.
