Hi,

alsa driver 1.0.18 has been a nightmare for me.

I had a perfectly working sound for my Intel D975XBX2 when using alsa driver 1.017. Going to 1.0.18 just muted my front sound. Well, maybe not everybody needs a front sound output, but I just stick with the 1.01.17 driver.

Then, I tried an Intel DG45ID mobo, which does not have any sound at all, with the later alsa driver 1.0.18a (detected as a Generic DG45).

Going back to alsa driver 1.0.17, from the stock Fedora 10 kernel (my card is then detected as an IDT 92HD73E1X5), I have an analogic sound working, but Master, Headphones, and PCM channels have to be above 90%, for anyone being able to hear anything. Therefore, the volume is compressed in the upper 10% of the scale.

Furthermore, I have no mic, and no input working (I would like to feed the output of my capture card to the input source of the sound card) . It seems to me that the input (blue jack) is configured as output, in the 1.0.17 alsa driver.

I do not know what else I can try, maybe some alsa snapshot, to fix some of these issues.

Try the snapshot on ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz

Thanks, Takashi

but it did not change anything for the Intel DG45ID. This is a Genuine Intel mother board.

The sound card is detected as "Generic 8086 Intel G45 Develk", but I do not hear anything, even with all mixer channel at the maximum volumes.

This is a Fedora 10, with the latest alsa packages, and everything seems OK, the applications work, but I do no hear anything.

With the alsa driver from the latest Fedora kernel

Linux version 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64

the card is detected as IDT 92HD73E1X5 and,

although I have to put all the mixer channels at the maximum, the sound output works fine, even mid emulation.

During the snapshot compilation, I got dozens of this warning:

---

It's no big issue, I guess.

This is the output of alsa-info, with the stock driver (1.0.17):

Run alsa-info with --no-upload option on both working (1.0.17) and non-working versions, and attach the generated files.
