alsamixer: no mixer elems found!

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I installed Fedora Core 3 on my Toshiba A60 notebook,

and, as I saw in a lot of posts, my soundcard doesn't work.

I upgraded kernel to 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 with up2date,

tried /sbin/lspci:

[tt]...

00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP150 AC'97 Audio Controller

...[/tt]

and /sbin/lsmod:

[tt]...

snd_atiixp_modem 17769 11

snd_ac97_codec 64401 2 snd_atiixp,snd_atiixp_modem

snd_pcm_oss 47608 0

snd_mixer_oss 17217 7 snd_pcm_oss

snd_pcm 97993 3 snd_atiixp,snd_atiixp_modem,snd_pcm_oss

snd_timer 29765 1 snd_pcm

snd 54053 21 snd_atiixp,snd_atiixp_modem,and_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer

soundcore 9889 7 snd

snd_page_alloc 9673 3 snd_atiixp,snd_atiixp_modem,snd_pcm

...[/tt]

 

I added in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

[tt]modprobe snd_atiixp

modprobe snd_atiixp_modem[/tt]

just to be sure modules are loaded,

and as I saw in a post I tried to change /etc/modprob.conf from

[tt]...

alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp

options snd-card-0 index=0

install snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd_atiixp && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

remove snd_atiixp { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-atiixp

...[/tt]

to

[tt]...

alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp

alias sound-slot-0 snd-atiixp

...[/tt]

to semplify and remove multiple entries for sound-card-0.

 

In every case I citated, when I try Applications>System Settings>Sound Card Detection the ATI IXP150 is founded with snd_atiixp module but it doesn't work, and when I type

alsamixer (I tried with kmix, aumix too) I got the message:

No mixer elems found (or "no device found" with aumix).

How Could I do?

 

Thanks in advance

does sound work when you log in as root? sometimes it's just a permissions problem. check to see if your user is in teh audio group by typing groups on teh command line.

 

you'll see all teh groups you belong to

 

[12/19/04][greg@otis:~]$ groups

greg disk lp cdrom audio src video users

No, is not a permission problem,

but I solved recompiling the kernel and adding the part about Device>Sound>AdvancedLinuxSoundArchitecture>IXPxxxx not as module but as a part of kernel.

This morning I ran aumix, I powered on all the volumes and I could listen my soundcard!

Thank you anyway
