Help with Alsa? (Hp Mini)

Hey guys.
I'm wondering if anyone's had luck with the HP Minis? I got the wired network working.... Going to test the wifi today. But I have no sound, being testing most of the stuff on the ALSA page of the wiki, but with no luck.

If you need anything more let me know. Also if anyone has had major issues with these please tell me, I still have 10 days to return it if I want to get something different.

Hello Formode!

Could OSS work? You've got /dev/snd so that you can try it first of all.
How did you try to use alsa, with which player ?

Hello djszapi!
I have not tried OSS yet, I will try that when I get a chance.

I was using aplay "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" as stated in the WIKI.

Wireless is also not working.

Hi Formode!
I got an HP Compaq Mini 730 EO. The sound was no problem to get to work. I just followed the guide. Which model do you have?

Hi Svanberg!
I have an HP Mini 1010 30 (? I can't find it really online. But I have an ICH7 family soundcard HDA intel) and the system beep works, and can be controleled by alsamixer. However sound does not come out of my speakers. Now, I am running as root for these tests so I should automatically be able to use sound right? I don't need to add myself to the audio group?

EDIT: Wireless is now working, I just need to remember how I got it connected. Not used to command line.

Stupid question, but have you unmuted the Master in alsamixer? And you should add yourself to the audio-group.

All of the channels are at appropriate volumes. Even as root I thought root could access all groups automatically?

Re: Help with Alsa? (Hp Mini)

If you run alsaconf as root, does your card detects by the script?

Re: Help with Alsa? (Hp Mini)

Yes my card is detected and set up properly.  I plugged into my stereo system and the sound works great out of the headphone jack (Better then I expected), It seems like just the internal speaker isn't working. It's fairly odd.

Re: Help with Alsa? (Hp Mini)

It sounds really like you haven't unmuted some channels. wink
