Hello, i have a (ICH9 Family) HD Audio controller as sound card but i cant hear any sound!from youtube/movies etch. when testing sound in “Sound configuration” i can hear sound that jumps.
i am running openSUSE 11.2 (KDE)
82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
Configured as sound card number 0
Driver snd-hda-intel
Please help me!
Thanks
First check the mixer in the tray
i checked the mixer in the tray,nothing is muted and its turned on 100 %.
Check the mixer settings/Master Channel
It’s usually something simple
i checked it. there is nothing wrong there.
but. in “sound card advanced options”
Description : FIX DMA pointer (0 = auto,1 = none,2 = POSBUF - option = Position_fix - value = blank (should it be set to blank?)
Description : Use single command to communicate with codecs (for debbuging only) - option = single_cmd - value = blank (should it be set to blank?)
Descrption :use the given board model - option = model - valaue = blank (should it be set to blank)
So walk thru the Guide written by @oldcpu
what do u mean?
Start from here:
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
1.“speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav” in terminal and got this : speaker-test 1.0.21
Playback device is plug:front
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy

2.“speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav” and got a weird sound.
3.:cat /proc/asound/version = Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20.
4.:at /proc/asound/modules = 0 snd_hda_intel
Open a terminal, become su and then do this:
rcalsasound restart
did that. then “removed sound devices popped up” and said : KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed.
this is a list of devices KDE thinks can be removed :
Capture:HDA Intel (STAC92xx analog)
Output : HDA Intel (STAC92xx analog)
output : HDA intel NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI audio output)
should i click yes - no or manage devices?
Manage devices
Then in the list set your preferred device
If you are not sure try HDA Intel
You can always go through the same procedure again
I have HDA Intel with Xine Backend
i tried them all. still no sound.
what HDA intel are u using? and how to use the xine backend with it?
edit : i see the xine backend now.
I’m not sure I’m best qualified to help you with this.
Open a su terminal and do this and find the audio part and post the result
lspci -v
You may have more than one device listed - depending on your hardware.
Mine is like this:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at fe100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?>
Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Re; XINE. In the System Settings area you would have been in. There is Tab there called ‘Backend’
You can see it in this image: ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing[/size]
Code : 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30f4
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at df300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?>
Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel[/size]
So go to Sys Settings
Multimedia - Like in the Image I just gave you
Make sure HDA Intel is the preference in the various sections and that Xine is set as backend too.
Apply
In Kmix make sure under ‘show mixer window’ it is ON HD Intel
Might be worth a reboot
HDA intel is the preference in the various sections however there is many HDA Intel devices,xine is set as backend.
in kmix “show mixer window” is already on HD Intel
What do you mean by sound “that jumps” ?
When you tried the audio troubleshooting guide, it recommends you try ALL 3 speaker tests, and notes often only 1 of the 3 will work. Above you reported on only 2 of the 3 speaker tests. What about the 3rd test (aplay) ?
Do any multimedia applications give you sound?
Finally, and most important, can you please provide the information recommended to be provided in the second half of our multimedia stickie: Welcome to multimedia sub-area - openSUSE Forums
Can you be more explicit. What do you mean by “weird” ?
