[alsa-devel] Laptop speakers nonfunctional, jacks functional

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ludwig Maes <ludwig.maes(a)gmail.com> Date: 2009/6/26 Subject: Laptop speakers nonfunctional, jacks functional To: alsa-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Realtek ALC888S (according to preinstalled Realtek HD audio manager on windows) visible jacks working, builtin laptop speakers and subwoofer silent. Running Ubuntu 9.04 compiled and installed alsa 1.0.20. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb64ba9a8ab28d8c16532ece21e3adba7219e4b9 Notice it thinks it is ALC1200. I searched this and found it in patch_realtek.c, I changed the equality test so we would end up in ALC888 section... result was I got an extra volume control on mixer for BEEP. previously did not hear beeps when hitting down in terminal. BEEP is in headphones or line out. still not on speakers. aplay -l listed ALC888 too but codec#0 still showed ALC1200... I dont know the flow of information changes in ALSA to change this codec... I undid the equality test change and now its back to original realtek patch, recompiled reinstalled... added model=generic, to asound.state, this gave me more controls IIRC.. downloaded codecgraph utility, result: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8692/codec0.png I dont know how these codecgraphs work, but 4 jacks are right! the internal speakers appear twice?? how can one rewire these, or enable assuming dotted is disabled, does every amplifier triangle correspond to a volume control? is there a direct way to make changes? dmesg |grep hda: [ 16.172695] hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe from BIOS...

[alsa-devel] Samsung P50 Heaphone Jack-Sense not working with latest ALSA
by Martin Egge 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, last year Takashi did help me to get the digital output and the internal/external mic up and running on my Samsung P50 notebook with an integrated Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller. Some time ago I switched from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.10 and a new problem with the soundcard occurred. The Headphone/Line-Out Jack-Sense is not working. When I plug in my Headphones the internal speakers of the notebook aren't switched off. I've ignored that problem for a long time but now I'm willing to change this. I've already upgraded my system to ALSA 1.0.20 with a script provided in the Ubuntu Forums [2]. I've used the build-in support for the latest snapshots provided at [3] of the script. But the problem still exists. Can anyone (perhaps Takashi again) help me? You can find all ALSA related information about my system at [4].

[alsa-devel] cmi8330: revert comments about AD1848 back
by Ondrej Zary 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

In ALSA 1.0.20, the comments were changed to say CMI8330 instead of AD1848. The CMI8330 chip includes two codecs - AD1848 and SB16, so the comments were correct and are misleading now.

Not supported. Some DSP code would be required, which isn't open yet. thanks, Takashi

There is no generic way. The assignment order is usually static and unchanged for such PCI devices. (Or, you can change the slot later via sysfs, if any.) In general, you shouldn't stick with the assignment order but rather use the id string to each device. Takashi

You can specify index option, e.g. index=2,1,0. Takashi

Re: [alsa-devel] Should my Creative X-fi card be loading the snd-hda-intel module

>> Shouldn't it be loading snd-hda-codec-ca0110 instead? > >snd-hda-codec-ca0110 is a slave module loaded by snd-hda-intel. > >Takashi The problem is, my Creative X-fi isn't being recognized any more, even though the modules are there and have been loaded. My onboard card is an hda-intel. And my utilities and programs don't find the Creative card. They only find the onboard card. I have added asoundconf to my alsa-utils, and asoundconf list shows only: Intel system (my usb card) winecfg shows the same. My goal is to get the card running again under wine. Susan
