When I bring up alsamixer there is no master option so I cannot unmute the master channel. I think this is the reason why I cannot hear sound. Mplayer seems to play a file with alsa but no sound is coming out of the card. Alsamixer starts with headphone as the first oprion (no master): Headphone,PCM,Front,surround,center ..... Alsamixer header looks like: Card: HDA NVidia Chip: Analog Devices AD1986A View: [Playback] Capture All Item: Headphone alsa versions: media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.11 media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.11 media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.11 complied with ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.11/work/alsa- driver-1.0.11 ... ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --without-oss --without-debug --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux --with-build=/usr/src/linux --with-isapnp=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=hda-intel --libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu HW: MBO: ASUS A8N-VM CPU AMB 3800+ dual core orca ~ # lspci|grep Audio 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) orca ~ # SW: # alsaconf I select hda-intel nVidia MCP51 High Def Audio rev a2 alsaconf completes with no error # modules-update # lsmod|grep snd snd_seq 61760 0 snd_seq_device 10576 1 snd_seq snd_hda_intel 20700 0 snd_hda_codec 175112 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 99272 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 27080 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 59920 6 snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 12496 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm # cat /etc/modules.d/alsa (without commented out lines) alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel gcc: orca log # eselect compiler show x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4/amd64-vanilla Kernel: Linux orca 2.6.15-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Tue Jul 25 10:42:42 PDT 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm)64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Thanks for your help, James |
