Intel Sound Card Problem (82801I ICH9 Family)

[mchevallier]

Hello,

I'm fighting since some days with my Open Suse 11.1 x86_64 Installation on a Compaq Presarion cq61.

I'm right now fighting with the sound.

My Intel Sound Card 82801 ICH9 Family gives NO SOUND.

Following another post on this theme, I made following:

Twice /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh, what gave: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=28...e3ba04603047c6

rpm -qa '*alsa*':

cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

Could some one help me finding sound again ?

The same machine had sound under Ubuntu...

Thanks in advance

Hi,

As soon as I wrote my thread I found the solution

I had to change the model name in my /modprobe/sound to "hp-dv5" and now my Laptop is playing sound.

I'll have a look now on micro and webcam...

Thanks to those how took time to have a look on this thread.

Regards

Marc

Congratulations on sorting this ! ... and thankyou for sharing your solution.

I'm hopefully that openSUSE-11.2 (now at RC1) when released will allow for easier audio card setup. 11.2 will have 1.0.21 of alsa included with the kernel, where the autoprobe detection of 1.0.21 of alsa is significantly superior to 1.0.17/1.0.18 of alsa

Good luck with the webcam. ... Ahh .. whats a micro ?

Hi,

Sorry for by bad french-english

Micro is the French short name for microphone

I'm looking forward for 11.2. I had a first test with the RC on my private desktop, but had such problems with the data quality I downloaded, that I went back to 11.1

I installed (clean install) RC1 this weekend. I have the same Intel chip
set on my desktop. Initially no sound. I found all volumes at 0 in configure
desktop --> multimedia. Also the installed backends were xine and pulse
audio. I removed most of the pulse audio stuff. This changed backends to
xine and gstreamer. I use xine. Sound works fine now.

Ahhh ... well, maybe I could attempt to help a bit with your micro.

I recommend you test your micro as described in this thread: Microphone - openSUSE

In particular, to test, please open a terminal and type:

arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav

and then adjust your mixer settings to try to get your mic to work.

If you have no success, you could set up your mixer in the manner that you believe is necessary for it to function, and then run again the diagnostic script:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh

and post here the output URL. Just the URL.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips.

I'm on business trip, so I'll have a look at this as soon as possible.

I'll give a feed back here
