Added sound card, still no sound

[albrtijo]

Added a new sound card whose driver is listed by free2006.Still no sound.The original sound card is integrated in the motherboard:card: I/O Controller Hub Audiomodule: snd-hda-intelI installed sound card:CompUSA "4 Channel Sound Card -- PCI 32bit"Its driver "snd-cmicpi" is listed in free2006.In MCC, Hardware, Soundcard, both cards are activated.How do I deactivate snd-hda-intel?albrtijo

[quint]

albrtijo, There should be a setting(s) in the BIOS that will take care of that. HTH.

[Bruno]

Hi albrtijo2 soundcards only bring confilicts, you will have to disable the onboard one ! ( in the BIOS like quint suggests ) Bruno

Progress report:no soundsnd-hda-intel removed per MCC -- Hardware - Soundcardsnd-cmipci Installed per aboveAumix -q shows vol and line neither red squared nor blue dottedAumix -q shows other things with red sqauaresI need another push.albrtijo

[Bruno]

Removing snd-hda-intel in the MCC is not enough . . . it absolutely needs to be disabled in the BIOS. Bruno

Sorry, Bruno, I did that.

[Bruno]

And still it shows up in the MCC after a reboot ? That is very strange ! Bruno

Sorry again, Bruno.I guess I miscommunicated a lot of things -- the only card now in MCC is the CompUSA CM8738 which indicates the driver module: snd-cmipci.albrtijo

Okay . . . I got the picture now . . . Can you run the SoundCheck Script and post the output ?Also do you by any chance have a PCLos .92 CD laying around to check if that one gives sound ( so we could copy the settings ) ? Bruno

Great . . .that works better, thanks !I think I see what is wrong, we need to make a few changes . . . . . . can you please post:

# cat /etc/modprobe.conf

Then start aumix with ( as user !! ):

$ aumix

This should pop up the aumix GUI . . please do "File" --> "Save" and after that post:

$ cat /home/albrtijo/.aumixrc

And then I can post the changes you will have to make to both files :) Bruno

By script I assume you mean "sound.sh". I tried that but got no sound. I'll do it again (with more patience -- 'tis the season to be scatterbrained.albrtijo

Hi albrtijoDon't forget to reboot to make sure the changes "stick" . . and then run the sound.sh script again ;) Bruno

[albrtijo]

albrtijo, There should be a setting(s) in the BIOS that will take care of that. HTH.

quint, you were right and I didn't thank you, till now, double.albrtijo Edited December 17, 2005 by albrtijo

Bruno, I'm collapsing. I tried the sound card in Windows and it wouldn't work. I tried to set it up when I got it, but gave up because of all the rigmarole. I'm only interested in having sound in Linux, Windows came with the computer. This time I tried seriously, but could get no sound from Windows either. Bad board??While we were striving to get the new sound board to work, the little rectangle stopped showing in the taskbar. The one we click to get a file back on screen. It made trying to work with multiple files/connections aggravating.I reinstalled free2006 several times. Though I could get the little rectangles to work for user root and a new user, I can't get them to appear for me.I bought the only sound board CompUSA had (their brand) now I'll see if I can get my money back, then try for a board somewhere else.Sorry to take so much of your time, though I did get to follow you into maneuvers new to me.Later albrtijo

. . . I tried the sound card in Windows and it wouldn't work. . . . . .

Hi albrtijo . . . . Maybe it is the PCI-slot that is faulty . . did you try to plug the card in another slot ? Bruno

Hi albrtijoStop the presses !!!Here is the nicest Christmas present since years:

- Added DA75_alsa_patch_realtek_fix.patch to fix a bug which makes some sound-cards managed by snd-hda-intel useless

Meaning: Your snd-hda-intel will work !!!!!I will explain when I come home from work later today ! Bruno

Hi albrtijoAs stated above: there is a bug in kernel 2.6.12-12 that prevents your snd-hda-intel soundcard to work . . . so we will have to upgrade the kernel :DNew here is how to proceed:. . . first get the latest updates ( NOTE: if you have a Nvidia Graphic card and the nv drivers installed let me know first what is in /usr/src before you proceed )Then check "ls -al /boot" to see exactly what vmlinuz is installed.Next go to the MCC "install software" and switch to "All packages by medium repository" --> "update_source" and you will see a new kernel 2.6.12-14 listed as available for download.>>>>> Make SURE it matches the version you did see in "ls -al /boot" ( so if you have a "up-1GB", "up-4GB" "smp" or just the "regular" one find the matching one ! )Next, mark it for install and install it.After the install is completely finished ( takes a while ) you will see that /etc/lilo.conf will have 2 extra sections, one for the old 2.6.12-12 kernel and one for the new 2.6.12-14 kernel. Because the symlink in /boot to vmlinuz changed to the new kernel your old entry for booting Mandriva 2006 will boot the new kernel. ( so in case things go wrong you can still boot the old kernel with the before last entry "2612-12" on your lilo boot menu ) The installer will already have written the new lilo to the MBR ;)Also change the BIOS back to use the snd-hda-intel and remove the PCI soundcard ( you can not have 2 soundcards )After the reboot configure your soundcard in the MCC to use snd-hda-intel and all should be okay !BUT like I said above: If you have a Nvidia card, wait for more instructions before installing the new kernel !! BrunoPS: Everybody else then albrtijo reading this thread, please start a thread and ask before upgrading your kernel ! Your situation might be very different !
