creative ca0132 no sound

Hey guys,

So, I just bought a GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming G1. I bought it mainly to do do 4-WAY SLI with Skylake. Anyways, I was able to get sound once. But I am unable to reduplicate it. When I google this problem, the results I get are:

a.) https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55541
b.) http://askubuntu.com/questions/636342/h … bit-system
c.) http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/view/21276
even, d.) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148570
e.) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175541473/

It seems like a was the most promising. It was suggested in Comment 29 to do Windows Boot, then Linux Boot to get sound to work. This worked for me once. The other links have shown to be unsuccessful.  it looks like Linux is loading the module correctly, based off of:

$ dmesg | grep ca0132       
[    1.839297] snd_hda_codec_ca0132 hdaudioC0D0: autoconfig for CA0132: line_outs=1 (0xd/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) type:line

and

$ lsmod | grep snd_hda

Also, when I run pavucontrol, it looks like there's sound but only output I get form the headphone jack is a 'soft static' and the output from the line-out is a high pitched static, both analog outputs.

I'm stumped, and not really sure what to do next. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Is this hardware device (soundblaster z on the z170x) not supported?

Re: creative ca0132 no sound

I have the same motherboard so i'll post what i know. Since this might help others with the same board.

i opened a bug on kernel.org:  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111021

Right now, i got sound working on lineout only. it required me to compile a new kernel from

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git

and to add these patches:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=200641
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=200651

adjust the second patch with these numbers and lineout will work along with the mic.

0x0b 0x41014111
0x0c 0x414520f0
0x0d 0x01014010
0x0e 0x41c501f0
0x0f 0x4221101f
0x10 0x41210110
0x11 0x41012014
0x12 0x37a790f0
0x13 0x77a701f0
0x18 0x500000f0


you can test out other settings by using hdajackretask if you want, but i didn't have much luck... you could possibly turn the mic into a line in though, but i didn't try...

if you are using pulseaudio, modify these settings in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf  (i'm in ubuntu right now so yours might be somewhere else?)

default-sample-format = s24le
default-sample-rate = 192000


For some reason i dont have any network on the archlinux live cd... i tried booting with modprobe.blacklist=ath10k_pci but it didn't help... anyone?

Re: creative ca0132 no sound

Guys, I think I'm having the same problem. However, I have one additional issue. My speakers haven't been working for quite a while and the headphones are my only source of sound (I live in India and own an Alienware m17x R4. They dont do replacements that well). So the only way I can get sound is through my headphones. I have pavucontrol installed and I can see the sound bar moving whenever I play something and when I plug my headphones in, it does say headphones recognized. aplay recognizes my sound card as well and I'm posting that below. Is there any way I can get this working? I can post more information based on what you need.

lsmod | grep snd_hda

I've been trying to get this fixed for months now and no luck.

Can you guys help me please?

Thanks

Re: creative ca0132 no sound

look at the current bug reports for a clue before reporting your own bug
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi … esolution=---

after that follow comment 178 to create your own bug report if you can't find any report with your hardware.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55541#c178

for my own board, i had to play with hdajackretast for a few days before i could find something that works enough for me, but with just one port, i'm not really any better than you are right now...
