    I had to update ALSA first.

    I posted more detail in my blog link below.

    Re: Nvidia GT220 & Audio Device "0be2"

    i observed a strange behaviour with (i guess) that new alsa. if im using the sound device for several hourse, say playing music, it then stops. trying to restart the sond file or a video file results in a freeze of the playersoftware.

    first i thought it has something to do with compize cause it went up to 100% cpu usuage. and when i killed compiz it wokred again. but same happens without compize.

    this is only observable if you play something for more than 2 hours.

    i will try again the older 1.0.22.1 alsa drivers.

    I followed the alsa upgrade instructions and now I get an HDMI audio device. The output of aplay -l:

    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

    The output of cat /proc/asound/cards:

    HDA NVidia at 0xfaffc000 irq 16



    When I run speaker-test -Dplughw:1,3 -c2, I get no sound. The test appears to be running, though. I checked alsa-mixer, but there is no HDMI device listed there to unmute.

    What should I check next?

    you don't need to update alsa to get it working with 10.04.


    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/550655

    Here is how I got my gt220 before my motherboard/cpu went up.



    Code:
        
     -- at command line
    
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
    
     -- then 
    
    install linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.xx-xx( matches your kernel )
    
     -- at command line
    
    sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
    
    -- add the following for NV GT220 -- "aplay -l" will tell you which of the following to use
    
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xfff2 # if your device is 0,3
    
    or 
    
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2 # if your device is 1,3
    
    or
    
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xffff,0xfff2 # if your device is 2,3
    
    
    -- save and reboot
    
    -- then do the following -- I used 1,3 because I used 2 audio outout devices at the time, you might need to use 0,3 or 2,3 etc...
    
    aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
    speaker-test -Dhdmi:NVidia_1 -c6

    Re: Nvidia GT220 & Audio Device "0be2"

    I have not gotten past step 2. I'm a noob at this.

    I successfully added the "ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa" PPA.

    I am unable to do the next step (install linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.xx-xx( matches your kernel )). What command do I use here? I tried many incantations of 'apt-get install' and apt could not find the matching package.

    The instructions then say to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf file. I don't have this file on my system. There is an /etc/modprobe.d/asound.conf file (I think that is what it was called), but no sound.conf. Am I supposed to create this file? Did you mean the asound.conf file instead?

    My GT220 will end up being card 1, since card 0 is the onboard audio device (analog & SPDIF), as indicated by 'aplay -l'.

    Jay
    run "uname -a" to get the currently installed/active kernel
    for me it's "linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic"

    open up "synaptic" , System > Admin... > Synaptic Package Manager

    and do a search for "2.6.32"

    now look for

    linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-23

    if it is there install it.

    the current version of linux-alsa-driver-modules as of me typing is 13 hours old ( -22 and not -23 ) so you need to wait a day or two for the matching version to show up

    https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-.../ppa/+packages

    you could always

    install "linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic" + "linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-22"
    and remove linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic until -23 comes out

    hope that helps

    Re: Nvidia GT220 & Audio Device "0be2"

    you will need to create the .conf file

    "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf"
    gedit will be easier for you to use than vim

    I use both but mostly vim at work.


    in your case you would add only the following to that file

    Code:
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

    Re: Nvidia GT220 & Audio Device "0be2"

    Thanks, jaakan. I have had some mixed results. After creating the sound.conf file, and rebooting, I could then get speaker-test to play sound via HDMI (yeah). I also needed to unmute the HDMI audio device (card 1) in alsamixer. I had to use F6 to select card 1 for it to even show up.

    I still had only analog sound from the system and my applications. I tried to run the System->Preferences->Default Sound Card to select the HDMI audio as my default sound card, but this application no longer runs. It tries to start (shows up for about 10 seconds in the task bar) but then exits. Is this expected?

    A few reboots (days) later, I discovered that HDMI sound was working for some of my applications (vlc, mplayer, movieplayer), but still only analog for the system sounds.

    Today I booted up and no sound at all. I checked alsamixer and the HDMI audio (card 1) was muted again. I unmuted it and rebooted. This restored the HDMI audio for my appliations (vlc, etc.), but still no system sounds (not even analog anymore). Is there a way to get the system sounds to also use HDMI?

    I'm almost in the same boat with this, sound works on vlc , mplayer etc but no sound when i try to run boxee, xbmc or browse youtube ,google vidoes etc ... can anyone help me with this please?

    Thanks
