Audio Help Under ALSA

Hey,

I can't get sound working (just none of it).

According to audio via lspci | grep -i audio I have the following card:

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

I followed all the directions at the arch sound wiki but to no avail...

Here is the modules line of my rc.conf file:

MODULES=(i2c-i801 eeprom coretemp !ath_pci wl lib80211_crypt_tkip !snd_intel8x0m)

I really don't know anything about sound, just followed the wiki, if there's any other files/information you need that can better assist you, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Audio Help Under ALSA

Can you include the output of "lsmod|grep snd" and "amixer sget Master" and "amixer sget PCM"?

Re: Audio Help Under ALSA

Ah, yes, sorry, should have known to include the grep of snd from the modules, here:

lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_oss            29696  0 
snd_seq_midi_event      6004  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                47856  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          6016  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            36832  0 
snd_mixer_oss          14132  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_hda_codec_realtek   189336  1 
snd_hda_intel          24872  1 
snd_hda_codec          60212  2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               6904  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcsp                9228  0 
snd_pcm                66936  4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcsp
snd_timer              19132  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    51108  12 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcsp,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               6112  2 snd
snd_page_alloc          8124  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

As for the the second command, no idea what that is, but here it is :-P.

amixer sget PCM
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
  Capabilities: pvolume
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 255
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 217 [85%] [-7.60dB]
  Front Right: Playback 217 [85%] [-7.60dB]

I appreciate the effort thus far, comparing the lsmod of mine to the lsmod of the arch wiki I feel that some kernel modules may have not been installed.  Although I followed all the directions for sound on the arch wiki so I don't know.

Re: Audio Help Under ALSA

Maybe this will help http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=72167 - he used rev 02, you're using rev 03 (don't know if it makes a difference though). I think I've seen some other thread concerning your card, please, search the wiki and forum.

Re: Audio Help Under ALSA

Did you use #alsaconf ?

It will load the right module (for the session).
