| Yes, one of the usual suspects is Kmix. I took me some time to figure out the right settings. If you post some information on your sound card, maybe someone can help you right away. |

In konsole type alsaconf
Then go to K-Menu > Multimedia > and click on Kmix , it will shoot to the lower right corner on the kicker, right click on it, click on show mixer window, in output make sure the 2 sliders are up all the way, then hit input and adjust accordingly > then go to settings >configure kmix > hit apply > reboot |

On Asus k8u-x motherboard (Semperon 32), no sound...no card detected. No help running alsaconf...runs and says "Have Fun", but no joy. I had previously gotten this board to work on 2005-04 by doing the following:
modprobe snd_intel8x0 buggy_semaphore=1
and modifying /etc/modprobe.d/sound to read
"options snd_intel8x0=0" by appending "buggy_semaphore=1" to that string. It does no good on Easter...no sound at all.
lspci -v output:
00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 20)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 810d
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 3
I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
Memory at faeff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Any new tricks for this out there? |

This had no affect. |

You do have line-in activated right. (in kmix)
What soundcard do you have ? Is it onboard ?
wh7qq
Does sound work on the live cd ? |

Yeas if you mean "Capture *". Or do you mean the green led above the "Master" scrollbar - that's lit allright.
On the ouput tab I have "Master", "PCM" and "Capture Mux" and all are turned to 100.

It's an itegrated soundcard. I have an Acer Travelmate 3004.

I doesn't work on Kanotix live cd but works right away with no tweaks on Knoppix live cd. |

| Suggestion: Make a screenshot of Knoppix' KMix settings and compare it with KMix settings of your hd install. |

That did not help. I looked the hardware information in KMix...
Sound drivers supported> ALSA + OSS
sound drivers used> ALSA
Does that help? Can I check other places for soundcard configurations from Knoppix? |

Piper,
The live CD does not work with this sound card. Get the following message:
artsmessage
Error while initializing the sound driver: default can't be opened for playback (No Such Devices) The sound server will continue using the null output device.
(Same message as with hd installation)
running alsaconf gets the following:
running update modules
Fatal: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.16.16-kanotix-1/modules-dep-temp for writing.
and

Well my sound card is recognized. I also found this post on another forum that says it could be a bug in ALSA:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... p?t=468859
Also I checked "System->KInfoCenter->Sound" in Kanotix and Knoppix and I noticed that the version of ALSA in Knoppix is 1.0.11rc4 and in Kanotix 1.0.11rc2. So how can I update ALSA? |

There is also another difference in "System->KInfoCenter->Sound" which is:
Knoppix (sound works)
Card config:
HDA Intel at 0xd000c000 irq 17
Kanotix (sound does not work)
Card config:
HDA Intel at 0xd000c000 irq 177
Is that meaningful?[/u][/i] |

hmm, not sure if this will work, worth a try, I found this in the german forums
echo $(</proc/asound/modules )|awk '{print $2}' >> /etc/modules
update-rc.d -f alsa-utils defaults |

irq 177 is definitely wrong. Please post output of
Code:
cat /proc/interrupts
infobash -v2
Maybe it would help if you switched to an SMP kernel to have better irq handling. |

Not by default. sound with acpi and bios Auto the irq is routed to irq-177
with buggy apic the snd-irq is 17
I think a bios upgrade will fix the irq-problem for the sound. |

schnorrer
If it works fine with live cd, how would a bio's upgrade fix this problem ?
A bio's upgrade does NOT fix everthing and is not a solution to fix everything, and can be dangerous even. |

This is what I got for the second command:
Code:
user@Acer:~$ update-rc.d -f alsa-utils defaults
System startup links for /etc/init.d/alsa-utils already exist.
I have no idea if it did what it was supposed to. I also tried apt-get update and upgrade after a that but the ALSA version is still the old one. |

I think the problem is in ALSA.
I checked the alsa homepage and I noticed that they have released version 1.0.12. I have 1.0.11rc2 on Kanotix and 1.0.11rc4 worked in Knoppix. How can I get the new 1.0.12 version? |

Maybe there's just to much bunched up at IRQ 177. This is brutal, but maybe things get better if you temporarily deactivate the network card (eth0) via BIOS settings.
Switching to an SMP kernel is not possible, however, because infobash tells me that you already have a "kanotix" kernel (=smp). Maybe updating to latest 2.6.17.11-kanotix-2 will help, but this is just a guess. |

Very Strange:
With all my efforts and the assistance of this forum, I had no luck getting the onboard audio on this Asus K8U-X mobo working but this morning, my wife booted the computer and the sound system worked! The KDE startup sounds came through the monitor speakers. I couldn't get to it at the time and when I booted later, no sound again. Wife says it happens sporadically.
This evening after much messing around, I had given up...couldn't even get an old Ensonique 1377 card to work. Put it all back together without the Ensonique and booted to check out my setup and sound was back! It lasted one boot. Gone now.
Originally, when I would do cat /proc/asound/cards, it would report "No Cards Found". When it was working it reported:
sh-3.1$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [M5455 ]: ICH - ALi M5455
ALi M5455 with AD1888 at 0x0, irq 3
1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
MPU-401 UART at 0x300, irq 5
but now it is reporting:
sh-3.1$ cat /proc/asound/cards
1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
MPU-401 UART at 0x300, irq 5
Why would this work intermittently? |
