no sound acer aspire one

[skike]

OK. I have done what you suggested. Her are the URL:
dmesg.txt - nopaste.com (beta)


Again: since the alsa update was so chatasctrophic for me I set up the original version back again, which was listed in my first post.
Sorry, if it was not clear.

(My experience is, that the installed alsa-driver-kmp-pae packadge resolved the sound problem on on side but caused the missmach in wlan on the other side.Maybe a dufferent version of this packadge could work correctly? What is your opinion?)

I can not see anything in the dmesg indicating a problem with wireless. I note both video for webcam and ACPI for power management being loaded at that time thou ... however I assume running "rcalsasound restart" later did not help, so that IMHO eliminates that as a possible problem (or did sound work better after "rcalsasound restart" ) ? You are kind of forcing me to guess.

This appears to be the 1st alsa loading:

And this a repeat of alsa loading during the rcalsarestart:

There is a possibility that the 29-May rpms were corrupted. I see some 1-june rpms are in place. You could try again.

As long as your kernel version did not change, this should not happen. If you do try the newer alsa again, and sound works, but wlan does not, then if you have a wired internet connection, run the dmesg curl command again. Or simply dmesg > dmesg.txt, open dmesg.txt in a text editor, and post it to a pastebin site: pastebin - Type, paste, share. and post here the URL. DO NOT POST THE DMESG HERE. Its far too big.

Anyway, no matter what, I recommend you write a bug report on this: Submitting Bug Reports - openSUSE Be certain to file the report under component "sound" to get the SuSE-GmbH alsa packagers attention.

[skike]

I did not experience any difference in sound functions between the before and after rcalsasound restart.

I think it is better if I wait a bit for the newer alsa version, and send a bug report now. I thank your effort!!!

I think these two lines reflect the problem you are having. I do not know the solution. Good luck with the bug report.

hi,
this seems to be an old thread, but nevertheless:

My machine is acer aspire one 150d with 82801G sound card and openSuSE 11.1 with xfce. I was only able to get sound from Yast sound config tool -> test sound. After that i upgraded Xfce to lates version from Xfce repository and since it might have been a permission problem, this seems to have solved it (it is also a fix for running nm-applet as non-root user):

>cat /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
</config>

But, in the end, the microfone is still dead. The funny thing is, PulseAudio Volume manager seems to show some input noise, but the level meter does not react to any sound input. I tried updating Alsa to 1.0.12, but no progress. Can anyone help me with the mic?

Are you referring to an internal mic or an external mic?

Alsa 1.0.12 is ancient! openSUSE 11.1 comes with 1.0.18 of alsa. Do you mean 1.0.21 ?

Please provide the output of running in a terminal/konsole, with your PC connected to the internet:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh

If it asks to update, you need to run it in root permissions to do an update (as a regular user does not have write permissions to /usr/sbin). Otherwise you can run it as a regular user. Be certain to select the SHARE/UPLOAD option. When it completes it will give you a URL. Please post here the URL. Just the URL.

Please also provide the output of running:

rpm -qa '*alsa*'
rpm -qa '*pulse*'
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

OK, thanks. I note an Acer Aspire One running a 32-bit openSUSE-11.1 with the 2.6.27.37-pae kernel, with 1.0.17/1.0.18 of alsa and an ALC272 hardware audio codec.

I noted your mixer selection appear limited ... although they are set wrong for recording from the front mic (which is an analog mic, I believe):

!!Amixer output
!!-------------
!!-------Mixer controls for card 0 [Intel]
Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0x56340000 irq 16'
Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC272'
Simple mixer control 'Front Mic',0
Front Left: Playback 27 [87%] [6.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 27 [87%] [6.00dB] [on]
Simple mixer control 'Front Mic Boost',0
Front Left: 0 [0%]
Front Right: 0 [0%]
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
Front Left: Capture 31 [100%] [30.00dB] [off]
Front Right: Capture 31 [100%] [30.00dB] [off]
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0
Capabilities: cenum
Items: 'Front Mic'

From the above its clear you have your front Mic boost at zero, and you have the front Mic capture OFF. Hence nothing can be recorded with the front mic with those settings.

But having typed that, I'm not convinced the front mic is your integrated mic. Is there any chance your integrated mic is a digital mic?

I did a search on the ALC272 on the alsa web site , and I obtained this hit: Search results for ALC272 - AlsaProject which indicates an update to the ALC272 in version 1.0.20 of alsa, providing a digital mic capability to record. If your integrated mic is a digital mic, then its possible you need at least 1.0.21 of alsa for this to work.

I also note that there are many model options applicable to an ALC272 that can be forced, if the alsa auto probe of the ALC272 did not work at boot for 1.0.21 of alsa (fro the HD-Audio-Models.txt file) but none for 1.0.18 of alsa.

Ergo, I think you should try an update of alsa to 1.0.21.

To update to 1.0.21 of alsa, I recommend you go to YaST > Software > Software Repositories and disable your CD/DVD as a repository. Change your "openSUSe-11.1 Update" repos, OSS repos, and Non-OSS repos to a priority of 110. Close YaST. Then with our PC connected to the Internet you open a terminal/konsole, type "su" (enter root password when prompted) to get root permissions, and then copy, paste, and execute the following:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_11.1/ multimedia

zypper install alsa alsa-docs alsa-tools alsa-plugins alsa-utils alsa-oss alsa-firmware alsa-plugins-pulse libasound2

zypper rr multimedia

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio:/KMP/openSUSE_11.1_Update/ multimedia

zypper install alsa-driver-kmp-pae

zypper rr multimedia

select Yes to changing vendor. After installation complete, restart your PC and test.

@oldcpu: Thank you. I guess that the mic problem is pretty much solved for me.

Here is what i did in addition to instructions in previous post:

I installed skype and in the first run the mic actually worked( after some volume control clicking and arguing with skype's auto adjusting of volumes )


The only "problem" that remains is PulseAudio daemon, which crashes with a message mentioning "cpu is overloaded", so I can't use any application that eats up too much CPU time ( on this computer it means no browsing etc. ), cause the crash mutes the mic and kills skype after the call is finished. But restarting skype reenables the mic.

Great! Did you end up updating alsa to 1.0.21 ?

Sorry to read of the stability problem.

Out of curiousity, if you did update alsa, what is the output of:

rpm -qa '*alsa*'

Unfortunately I can not help with Skype problems as I never use that software.
