I have an A6jc asus laptop and alsa don't work with the new kernels (neither 18 or 19) if I use the alsa package (1.0.13 estable and 1.0.14rc1) If I use the in kernel version, then with 2.6.19 don't work (it have alsa version 1.0.13) but whith the 2.6.18 it's partialy work (I have sound with amarok or vlc, but kcontrol sais that can't find a audio system O_o ) The thing it's more funny when use the in kernel alsa sound off 2.6.19. If I run ANY aplication with sound it freeze or work inestable without sound, and some times my WHOLE system crash (I need to hard-reboot) I want try to install a 1.0.12 alsa off kernel package for asegurate it's a regresion of alsa 1.0.13 but it's no more in portage :( so culd any one put the ebuilds? :S :S It's a clean install (~x86) ;) Here's my lspci -vv: 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Capabilities: [e0] Vendor Specific Information and my /etc/modules.d/alsa # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file. # ALSA portion # OSS/Free portion ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `modules-update' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion ## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave ## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 ## OSS/Free portion ## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 ## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 ## # OSS/Free portion - card #1 ## OSS/Free portion - card #2 ## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss ## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss ## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss 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 1.0.12 --- alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- my /proc/asound/cads 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfebfc000 irq 58 and my /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13:55:50 2006 UTC).
Please test the latest development kernel (currently 2.6.20-rc6) with the in-kernel ALSA built as modules. If that doesn't work, be more descriptive of your problems including error messages, kernel config, dmesg output, etc.
i have similar problems with ich6 audio on my laptop (keywords: ~x86) since the update to 2.6.19. also updating to 2.6.20 did not help. alsa is compiled into the kernel directly (i hate modules but maybe i try that later and post if it works). this problem however seems to be caused by permission problems in /dev/snd and /dev/sound, which looks like this after boot: /dev/snd/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 220 2007-02-06 15:15 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 13820 2007-02-06 14:16 .. crw------- 1 root root 116, 10 2007-02-06 15:15 controlC0 crw------- 1 root root 116, 9 2007-02-06 15:15 pcmC0D0c crw------- 1 root root 116, 8 2007-02-06 15:15 pcmC0D0p crw------- 1 root root 116, 7 2007-02-06 15:15 pcmC0D1c crw------- 1 root root 116, 6 2007-02-06 15:15 pcmC0D2c crw------- 1 root root 116, 5 2007-02-06 15:15 pcmC0D3c crw------- 1 root root 116, 4 2007-02-06 15:15 pcmC0D4p crw------- 1 root root 116, 3 2007-02-06 15:15 seq crw------- 1 root root 116, 2 2007-02-06 15:15 timer /dev/sound/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2007-02-06 15:15 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 13820 2007-02-06 14:16 .. crw------- 1 root root 14, 12 2007-02-06 15:15 adsp crw------- 1 root root 14, 4 2007-02-06 15:15 audio crw------- 1 root root 14, 3 2007-02-06 15:15 dsp crw------- 1 root root 14, 0 2007-02-06 15:15 mixer crw------- 1 root root 14, 1 2007-02-06 15:15 sequencer crw------- 1 root root 14, 8 2007-02-06 15:15 sequencer2 on my other system (kernel 2.6.18-gentoo) those directories look like this: /dev/snd/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 320 2007-02-04 11:24 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 13980 2007-02-04 10:24 .. crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 2007-02-04 11:24 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 2007-02-04 11:24 pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 2007-02-04 11:24 pcmC0D0p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 25 2007-02-04 11:24 pcmC0D1c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 26 2007-02-04 11:24 pcmC0D2c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 26 2007-02-04 11:24 pcmC0D3c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 18 2007-02-04 11:24 pcmC0D4p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 2007-02-04 11:24 seq crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2007-02-04 11:24 timer /dev/sound/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2007-02-04 11:24 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 13980 2007-02-04 10:24 .. crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 12 2007-02-04 11:24 adsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 2007-02-04 11:24 audio crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2007-02-04 11:24 dsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 2007-02-04 11:24 mixer crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 1 2007-02-04 11:24 sequencer crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 8 2007-02-04 11:24 sequencer2 because of that the sound on my laptop is only available as root. as a simple workaround i added the following to /etc/conf.d/local.start, which fixes permissions: chgrp audio /dev/s*nd/* chmod 666 /dev/s*nd/* i hope this helps locating this bug. greetings rudi
Rudi, stop using pam_console, as that's probably the only way to mess up that way your system.
(In reply to comment #3) > Rudi, stop using pam_console, as that's probably the only way to mess up that > way your system. > well, that was it. looks like i forgot to disable pam_console after playing around with networkmanager. anyways, thanks for the tip.
I have the same problem with my laptop Lenovo 3000 C200 : 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Lenovo Unknown device 3802 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21 Memory at d0340000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [130] Unknown (5) I used kernel 2.6.20.1 with alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.
cruzki: please reopen when you respond to comment #1 pouik: please test the in-kernel drivers from the latest development kernel (currently 2.6.21-rc6) and open a new bug with the results.
Finally with the driver, compiled as a module, in the kernel 2.16.20-r5 (gentoo-sources) works fine :) Sorry for not answer before, I don't have physical access to this laptop.
OK, thanks for testing. I'll mark this as fixed as that kernel will be marked stable very soon.
