snd-hda-intel doesn't work on 2.6.24

redguardtoo · 2008-05-29 11:47:23

The solution of hda-intel (Codec: VIA VIA VT1708) not working after upgrading to kernel 2.6.25.4

run the command
$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

to get the codec, my output is:
Codec: VIA VIA VT1708

search the "vt1708" in google groups "linux.kernel" and find this post.
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.ke … ee27f4f1db

So it's the kernel's problem.

download the latest alsa packages as the ubuntu article said:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

modify the patch_via.c in alsa-driver according the goolge group post.

Then do exactly what above ubuntu article said.

Hi Redguardtoo,

thanks for pointing out the origin of the error and the links for fixing it.

For the uninitiated would you mind explaining exactly how to modify the patch in alsa-driver.
ie do the lines starting with + mean add this line? and do they have to be inserted in a particular place within the file?

forgive my ignorance and many thanks for your help

Quite useful. Yes, + means add that line. The line number is the one at @@, more details in the link. But if I understand right, you're supposed to just apply the patch? If so, copy the entire thing and use it as a patch file.

cd linux-2.6.25
patch -Np0 -i /path/to/patch

Hi,
The patch works great and the via vt1708 codec is working fine in stereo but I haven't had any luck setting up 6 channel sound following the alsa howto: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~bondhugu/alsamch.shtml
Is there any reason why the patch would interfere with setting up surround sound in this way or does anyone have any tips to setting it up on the vt1708?
thanks,
dan

lspci | grep Audio results in: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

but when I attempt to use alsactl or a mixer it claims I have no sound card device. Is there a fix for this by any chance?

My card is detected allright, but my puter won't make a sound.

I set up alsa using the Arch Beginners Guide.

Anyone any ideas how to get some sound?

After messing around with volume control in Gnome, I got sound.
