Hello everyone,

I'm new to gentoo and in general to linux too. I newly configured alsa
and it seems to work:


# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xd000c000 irq 17

# cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-01: ALC260 Digital : ALC260 Digital : playback 1
00-00: ALC260 Analog : ALC260 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1


# cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.11rc2 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux bingung 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 #9 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 22
11:20:39 CEST 2006 i686
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation

Card config:
HDA Intel at 0xd000c000 irq 17

Audio devices:
0: ALC260 Analog (DUPLEX)

Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Timers:
7: system timer

Mixers:
0: Realtek ALC260

Now I still don't here anything! Is there an option in the kernel to
make the speakers of my notebook (Extensa 6700) work? alsamixer is
already configured ... noting is muted and it seems to work fine too!

I would be very thankfull if anybody could help me.

Regards,

   Andreas Burghardt

Hello Erik,

how no unmute/mute a card? there is no 'master' in alsamixer ... there
is only 'pcm', 'Front','Line', ...

It is loaded as a module not buildin. Alsa has been started at boot
time. Im using xmms. alsa has been compiled into xmms (set as USE) so it
should be used!

Hello Steeve,

I attached a screenshot of alsamixer ... there is no headset option! But
I tried every combination of unmute/mute ... no result :-(
(Before I had SuSE (for 2 days) ... and it worked fine .. so theres
still hope hehe)

Thank you

have you unmute your card?

is alsa compiled as modules or builtin? what gives lsmod?

ahhh first clue..

well you should have something like the png ive attached. The first sound
controler on the left is the master.

now, the right question is: why would the master controler in alsamixer
disappear? I have personnally no idea, but the answer will solve your
problem..

have you tried to launch /etc/init.d/alsasound?

is it complaining about alsasound.state?

A friend of mine has the same (or similar) sound device on his laptop
(it is a Sager NP3880+ or some such) - according to him, he had to
unmute either PCM/front or headphones (sometimes both) - depending on
which it decides to use - you should see something like PCM front
headphones - there isn't a Master volume control with the hda-intel
sound device

on another list[1] it is said this is a common laptop issue and it is
recommended to try the following things:
1) unmute headphone
2) turn on a switch called "external amplifier" if available
3) turn digital output off (supposedly a switch named IEC-something)

Hope to help

As someone else stated, try muting the digital channel - the IECXXX - my
buddy said he has it muted - it may work for you - some day, I will be
able to upgrade my machine and get all this exotic hardware everyone
else has, but for now, I still have my tried and true IBM Thinkpad 600E
:)  Hope it works for you
