Script worked perfectly, and now I finally have sound out of my EMU 1212m. Been banging my head for weeks now trying to make this work. Wish I'd found this first. Thanks so much, soundcheck!

I have an issue where I can get sound out of my headphone jack, but not from my speakers. I have a new iMac. I'm not very good at troubleshooting drivers in Linux. Where do I start looking to fix this?

Howdy! I have a recent HP mini 1000 (feb 2009, came with MI) that I recently put 9.04 on. I had the sound working with 8.10 and a home made kernel (trying to patch for a TASCAM US 122L) but after wiping it out and doing a clean install I got nothing (9.04 didn't see any sound devices).

The aplay -l output looks like:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

/proc/asound/card0 says the codec is IDT 92HD75B2X5


The info script posting is at

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=be...45bd5bbd67c80e

I tried the ugrade script and got devices but no sound. I went as far as to download the daily snapshot and installed, still get no sound. Any thoughts? I have model=ref in the alsa-base.conf file, I dont see 92HD75 anywhere in the HD audio docs.


I'm sure I'm missing something, any pointers would be a real help. I've been trotting this netbook out to clients as OSS crack, it'd be really nice if I could get the audio working.

Thanks, Joel

I'm having a little trouble with 1.0.19 on my Acer Aspire 5930.
With 1.0.17, I had the "Side" channel which provided some extra volume and most of the bass for my sound output. Since I've upgraded though, I only get ( relatively ) quiet and mostly treble output.

The laptop has "Virtual SurroundSound" and I think the problem is only the Front output is working. I can only get output on other channels if I run

speaker-test -l1 -twave -Dplug:default

which results in a very deep voice saying things on the wrong speakers ( saying "Front Right" on the Left speaker ). Any other parameters only gives me 2 channels being output..

Anyone else experienced similiar problems or could point me in the right direction to help me diagnose the problem? 1.0.17 played music really well ( even bass-y music ) but 1.0.19 has "broken" that ( but given me HDMI output )

I can't get the Alsa Upgrade script completed on my Lenovo (ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic). I am using the Upgrade script AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh

I decided to do the steps separately, download first, then compile. Download went smoothly, compile fails very early when trying to apply some patches:

Hacking autoconf.h...

Any idea how to convince make to continue?

Thanks, Hannes

@ soundcheck

I would like to thank you for the script you made for an easy upgrade of alsa driver. It works just fine.

I started another related tread witch I think is solved.
