[gentoo-user] alsa-utils speaker-test question

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

speaker-test runs but makes no sound:

heathen@localhost ~/docs/elex $ speaker-test -t 2

speaker-test 0.0.8

Playback device is plughw:0,0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Sine wave rate is 440.0000Hz

Unless I do this:

heathen@localhost ~/docs/elex $ speaker-test -c2
-Ddefault -twav

speaker-test 0.0.8

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 16384 to 16384
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Periods = 4
Buffer time size 2525
To choose buffer_size = 16384
To choose period_size = 4096
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 16384
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.641697
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.973134
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.973148
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right

alsamixer is NOT muted. Anyone?

Maxim

Hum, that is rather old. Try upgrading alsa? The stable, unless you
are on mips, is at least 1.0.14

Do you mean alsa-utils. Here's alsa:

localhost heathen # emerge -avuD alsa

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Quitting.

I note two curious things(at least): alsa isn't
mentioned but gentoo-sources is?

Here's alsa-utils:

localhost heathen # emerge -avuD alsa-utils

That is because 1) alsa is not a package name
2) current kernel ebuilds uses the kernel-2.eclass which specifies
that it provides virtual/alsa

So, when you asked it to emerge alsa, it looked at the list of things
that you've already installed, and saw that the kernel sources
"provides" alsa, so it says: ah-ha! I shall upgrade the kernel
sources.
