I had a typo in the instruction above. I changed it.

Rusty sound? ) Hmmh. That doesn't sound right to me.
If you experience kind of scratchy noise, usually something is wrong with your samplerate config. E.g. if you run 48khz material on a 44.1 soundcard setting. You'd better check it out. Never heard of rusty PC-speakers.

Hi.

Perhaps you might want to try this:

There are some bugs reported at launchpad. But it seems that it is rather a setup issues than a real bug.

E.g. for two channels: $ speaker-test -Dplughw:0,0 -c2 or $ speaker-test -D front -c2 or e.g. 6 channels (Note: type $aplay -L to find out about your pcm devices) $ speaker-test -D your-virtual51-device-as-shown-in-"aplay -L" -c6 in my case: $ speaker-test -D surround51 -c6

My aplay -L

front:CARD=CMI8788,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8788, Multichannel
    Front speakers
surround40:CARD=CMI8788,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8788, Multichannel
    4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=CMI8788,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8788, Multichannel
    4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=CMI8788,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8788, Multichannel
    5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:CARD=CMI8788,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8788, Multichannel
    5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:CARD=CMI8788,DEV=0

    7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers

    C-Media CMI8788, Multichannel
    IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

When I tried speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c6 I received:

jason@Ascension:~$ speaker-test -Dsurround51 -c6

speaker-test 1.0.18

Playback device is surround51
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy

This would loop until I Ctrl+C.

Any help is appreciated.

Awesome. That script worked for me!
Just a hint: After I downloaded it regarding the instructions, I had to run the script three times seperately, once with each parameter:

 sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.12.sh -d
 sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.12.sh -c
 sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.12.sh -i

[the option -f for full install resulted in an error]

Thanks so much.

Do you have the first log (-f) available?

Helo there,

I've been searching for so long now and you made my day

I executed the Script on Intrepid with Asus P5Q Deluxe OnBoard. The Sound worked after the next reboot without any further configuration.

Thank you so much

[rossiFan]

Running the script worked great for me. Sound broke on a Thinkpad R50e when I did a clean install of 8.10. Nice and loud, too. Brilliant.

Sudo open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and find the line "options snd-hda-intel model=". Make it look like options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire 3.) Download hda-verb from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/...rb-0.2.tar.bz2 . Unpack it, and use "make" in the folder to compile the files. 4.) Copy the created files into /usr/local/bin 5.) Sudo open /etc/rc.local and add the line /usr/local/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE 2 6.) Reboot, and it should work from now on. That's how I did it, thanks to jansaell and soundcheck!

Well, you don't need the alsa 1.0.18 at all to do this so you may just skip step one. Also this set of instructions flooded all over the forum only works for Hardy.

I second this. Running Intrepid Ibex 8.10 i386 kernel 2.6.27-7-generic on an Acer Aspire 6920G which has the same Realtek ALC889 chip.

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
