stortignauz 0 Posted December 19, 2004 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 Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted December 19, 2004 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 Share this post Link to post
stortignauz 0 Posted December 20, 2004 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 Andrea Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted December 20, 2004 woo! yeah, I've always had trouble with the alsa modules. It works so much better compiled rright into the newer 2.6 kernels Share this post Link to post
