[gentoo-user] Trying to configure alsa for INTEL HDA (ATI)

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

on my mobo there is the following audio related PCI-items (exerpt
from lspci):

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
The current lsmod gives me:

snd_hda_codec_atihdmi     1807  0
snd_pcm_oss            32995  0
nvidia              10064990  28
snd_hda_intel          17672  0
snd_hda_codec          58749  2 snd_hda_codec_atihdmi,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               4666  1 snd_hda_codec
gspca_ov534             8259  0
gspca_main             21185  1 gspca_ov534
pcspkr                  1359  0
snd_pcm                57410  3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_page_alloc          5565  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

I did an alsaconf- and update-modules-reboot-cycle, but the only thing
I get with alsamixer are four bars:
master,pcm,capture,digital

Seems a little too less for "high definit audio", or ?

Ok, there is sound...but I would had expected a little more for
that "HD"-thingy...

What did I wrong here? What frog I have to kiss to get back a
princess? ;)

Hardware/Software:
Linux kerenl 2.6.34.6 (vanilla)
alsa-utils/alsa-lib 1.0.23
Mobo: ASUS Crosshair IV formula

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

But what is you're missing? S/DPIF? Headphone? Front?

The so called user has bought a brand new mobo.
This mobo is the first mobo with "HD" sound.
So -- how should this poor guy know what is missing,
when it is a) not visible and b) unknown to the user?

Best regards,
the cluekless user

He wasn't talking to you.  He was talking to the guy that posted the
same response 4 times to the list to your original e-mail.  :-P

Perhaps;
1. Boot with knoppix
2. record lsmod output
3. Boot back into gentoo, go to kernel setup and select any missing modules,
them make modules_install, and modprobe the modules (no need to reboot)
4. Try alsa again to see if anything has turned up?

 i was trying to do buffer size manipulation for this driver. here is a
good read by iwai-san. don't forget to look through all the related
codex modules, esp in the >=2.6.34 release.
