This is confusing to me (with or without the imac9,1 patch for the imac) there is still entries in /proc/asound
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Apr 15 22:49 NVidia -> card0 dr-xr-xr-x 7 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 card0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 cards -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 devices -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 hwdep -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 pcm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 timers -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 15 22:49 version
but when I do: sudo /usr/sbin/alsactl store /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1502: No soundcards found...
I this a software issue, or is this because the kernel is missing something important in patch_realtek.c ?
I've moved different things around in patch_realtek.c but still no speaker sound or headphone, not even the sound during boot when the module is being loaded.
Also what is the best way to find PCI SSID? under codec#0:(I have)
Codec: Realtek ALC889A Address: 0 Vendor Id: 0x10ec0885 Subsystem Id: 0x106b4900 Revision Id: 0x100103 No Modem Function Group found
but with lspci -nnv
