Sound

[yfig]

Hello.

I received my Fit-PC2, installed Ubuntu 9.10 exactly as described in "Ubuntu 9.10 supported" topic, but sound does not work.

"sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" command says :

Code: Select all

FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.31-34-fitpc2/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

"dmesg" command says :

Code: Select all

snd_hda_intel: Unknown parameter `power_save'

I don't know how to load the sound module.

Seems you forgot this paragraph:

- Comment out snd-hda-intel options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Code: Select all

# Power down HDA controllers after 10 idle seconds
# options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N

Did you get it working?

I had a similar problem in the beginning, and i found out what Denis sugg fixed it.

If u don't have PUSH all alsamixer all the way up ( i mean all the way) and remove any "MM" = mute.

Sorry for all these days of silence, I've been busy with something else.

You're right, I forgot to comment out the line you mentioned.
I did it, but it did not solve my problem completely.
"sudo modprobe -v snd-hda-intel" does not say anything now
but "aplay -l" still says aplay: device_list:223: no sound device found...
"alsamixer" does not start : alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

I did the whole ubuntu installation again, but I have still no sound : aplay -l
aplay: device_list:223: aucune carte son trouvée...
I checked that AUDIO is not disabled in the bios.
I don't find any audio device in lspci -v output

Lately I've had the problem that my user somehow was not listed in needed groups. If you try

sudo aplay -l

do things change for you? If so you might add the user to the audio group.

Sound of Silence?

Same thing with sudo aplay -l
Hardware video acceleration seems to work, so it should not be a hardware problem, but all the error messages say that they do not find the audio device.
