I have a CMI 8788 bases sound card. I am trying to connect the SPDIF out of this card to my receiver. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get any application to output any sound at all from ALSA or OSS :confused:
I had given up after trying a lot. Recently I saw a post on ALSA project on oxygen cards. I was able to build the source 1.0.16 "--with-cards=oxygen" option but I got a bunch of "permission denied error" when I tried to "sudo modprobe snd-oxygen".
I will appreciate if you can give me some pointers.
Thank you,
Gaurav
Another one of these "Help Me!" posts!
I have an ASUS M3N laptop (I think it's similar to the M3000), an Intel Centrino chip with built in Video and Sound. It took me forever to get the high resolution video working (not that high - just 1024x768), so when I saw this comprehensive guide to get the sound working, I thanked my lucky stars. Unfortunately, it's been just as trying. So, I'll post and see if there's any suggestions. I've tried the walkthrough many many many times, for intel8x0, intel8x0m, and hda_intel. I've compiled on my own from new sources, I've done it the way described in the original post, I've done the quirky thing (I think)...so here's the details:
output of aplay -l - the bane of my existence since I have never been able to get it to say anything other than:
Code:aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found...
so, to me it looks like I've got and Intel 82801 sound card - which the alsa site tells me is an intel8x0 driver.Code:root@ubuntu:~# lspci -v

My modules file (after working on hda-intel, I had it different for each different driver):
So - long post, but I hope it's enough information to get you linux sleuths started.Code:# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

The guide on the first page mentions that if you un-install the sound drivers then 'gdm' and 'gnome-desktop' will be removed. However, when I try and un-install them it wants to remove more than that:
Will I just have to modify what I re-install or will this mess up Ubuntu a bit too much to make re-installation a straightforward possibility? (As in, what will Ubuntu look like when all that is un-installed? Will I just be given a terminal?)Quote:
The following packages will be REMOVED
alsa-base* alsa-utils* fast-user-switch-applet* gdm* linux-sound-base*
ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-minimal*
Thanks for any advice.
I made the mistake of "upgrading" to a Creative Labs X-Fi sound card a while ago.
I've only just finished my first Linux install and am as green as grass when it comes to Ubuntu.. After looking at this thread and the links provided, it seems that my sound card does not have any support in Linux at the moment. I guess I'll have to consider buying another sound card in order to get audio working.
Goodday,
I am trying to get midi working, spent lots of hours searching and trying.
my card (lspci):
Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I have, among others, these:
-------------------
install snd-seq /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-oss ; : ; }
install snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; }
# Cause optional modules to be loaded above sound card driver modules
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe -Qb snd-emu10k1-synth ; }
...
options snd-emu10k1 mpu_port=0x330
-------------------
But the snd-emu101k1 does not get loaded, it does not show in the output from lsmod | grep snd
When I try to load it by hand I get:
jean@main:~$ sudo modprobe snd-emu10k1
[sudo] password for jean:
FATAL: Error inserting snd_emu10k1 (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error running install command for snd_emu10k1
looking at dmesg gives:
snd_emu10k1: Unknown parameter `mpu_port'
Trying to load a soundfont obviously will not work without these modules:
jean@main:~$ sfxload
No AWE synth device is found
(it also needs snd_emu10k1_synth, doesn't it?)
I wonder if simply spending twenty bucks on another soundcard would save me lots of trouble.
Thanks for any help.
you said to tell you about anything no matter how small: there's a typo near the beginning, in the section "Background / Notes / Warnings", i.e. "If you cannot use hear anything".
Wicked guide, helped me out! Thanks a lot!
