No sound - AC97 Audio Controller

Well, I installed alsa-utils ran alsaconf and it detected the sound card and everything. I don't know what else to try. "amixer pcm 95" just says that pcm is an unknown command. The way i'm testing the sound is playing a video on YouTube. Is that a good way to test it?

ALSA(sound): Intel Corp.|82801 AC97 Audio Controller module: i810_audio

ModProbe

#
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#

# OSS Compatibility
install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true

Re: No sound - AC97 Audio Controller

"amixer pcm 95" just says that pcm is an unknown command

use alsamixer to adjust the volume...

The way i'm testing the sound is playing a video on YouTube. Is that a good way to test it?

I would use Xmms

also there is a nice alsa-guide in the wiki, maybe you find something there that might help you... ;-)

Re: No sound - AC97 Audio Controller

Try commenting out ALL lines in modprobe.conf .
Udev modules detection is usually so good it doesn't even need those lines anymore and they often pose problems.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Re: No sound - AC97 Audio Controller

I have AC97 too,
I just installed alsa, alsa-oss, and alsa-utils, and changed the volume with alsamixer.
Added alsa to rc.conf, and it works.

The flash player uses OSS IIRC, and you can't change it form using dsp0, so its not really a good way to test.

but I couldn't setup dmix properly for AC97 to record and play at the same time, so I switched to using OSS commercial, *shrugs*
