Dear list,

My original mail on this topic was posted to the alsa-user list, while I was informed that this alsa-devel list would be the right place to post.

The problem I had encountered is that the Adi 1986 codec chip on my device with Poulsbo(SCH) chipset could not be recognized by the snd_hda_intel driver module.

Tobin has kindly given me an advice on trying an ALSA driver that is later than 1.0.16.final. For a cross-test pupose, I have tried both the following 1.0.16 and the latest 1.0.17-rc2.

[1.0.16] ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2

[1.0.17-rc2] ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17rc2.tar.bz2

By following the guide described in the INSTALL text file in both the above two packages, I have done make and make install without a problem.

Unfortunately, both these two version of ALSA driver does not recognized the Adi 1986 codec and in the dmesg output claiming that "no codecs found!".

<dmesg> -- snip -- ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64 ALSA /root/alsa-driver-1.0.16/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1887: hda-intel: no codecs found! ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1b.0 disabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64 ALSA /root/alsa-driver-1.0.17rc2/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:2142: hda-intel: no codecs found! ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1b.0 disabled -- snip --

I have also tried applying some module parameters like probe_mask and position_fix but with no luck.

Actually, we have two machines with Poulsbo(SCH) chipset inside. The ALSA driver works fine in one(with a chipset's revision of "04") while it does not work on the other (with a chipset's revision of "06").

Here I attach the "lspci -nnvvvxxxx" result from both two machines.

Any comment would be greatly appericiated. If anyone needs more information, please let me know.

This is a response from the alsa-devel list. I forwarded your message there as that was the more appropriate list.

Not sure what version of alsa driver you are using, but the driver for that chipset was added prior to 1.0.16 final. Anything after that should work.

Dear list,

I have recently got a device with Intel's Poulsbo chipset and Adi 1986 codec attatched.

The Adi 1986 codec along with the Poulsbo chipset could been recognized by installing the SoundMAX driver under Windows XP.

While switching to Linux, the snd_intel_hda is loaded but the Adi 1986 codec could not been seen and there is no "codec#0" entry under /proc/asound/card0.

...

From what I can see from dmesg, the hda_intel module had complained

about "no codecs found!".

<dmesg.txt> -- snip -- [ 93.463277] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64 [ 93.463286] Do fixup for Poulsbo <6>D0 or newer stepping [ 93.463439] HDA snoop disabled, try to enable ... OK [ 93.491624] hda-intel: no codecs found! -- snip --

I have attached both output of dmesg command the "lspci -nnvvvxxx" result along with this mail. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
