Hi:
Yesterday I found this message from Denis Pelletier and I've got the
same probleam taht him. I can hear the sound setting highest volume in
the mixer but I have to put my ear in the speakers so it isn't much :(
my sound card is a via686a, i have tried with last alsa drivers (
0.5.12a ) and with 2.4.17 modules and i have the same results. Does
anybody solve this problem?
my /proc/pci is this:
Bus 0, device 7, function 5:
Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio
Controller (rev 80).
IRQ 5.
I/O at 0x1000 [0x10ff].
I/O at 0x1854 [0x1857].
I/O at 0x1850 [0x1853].
the only thing that is strange is next messages in /var/log/messages
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:07.5
IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.5, have irq 5, want irq 11
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0a.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0b.0
thank you very much.

Hello,
I'm trying to setup the sound card in my new Compaq Presario 700 laptop.
I'm using the kernel 2.4.16 with alsa 0.5.12a. Everything seems to be
correctly configured, the modules are loaded, all the sound channels are
unmuted and the volume is up. Everything is behaving like the sound is
ok,
e.g. in KDE, Arts thinks that it's making sound (I can see this with
Arts
control). But no sound.
But when I say no sound it's not totally true. If I play something very
loud I can faintly hear something coming out of the speakers. So I guess
that I have a mixer problem. How can I debug this?
This problem is not specific to Alsa. I have the same result with the
kernel module for my sound card.
Searching the net, I founded this
(http://www.opensound.com/readme/README.Notebooks.html):
"Practically all sound chips used in notebooks are currently supported
by OSS. Unfortunately many notebooks use proprietary volume control
chips in addition to the ordinary mixer chip supported by OSS. For
this reason it's possible that no sound comes out while the sound
chip appears to be working properly."
Could this be my problem. If yes, what could I do? Would this volume
control chip appear in lspci for exemple?
My laptop is based on the Via integrated chipset KN133. The relevant
part
of lspci -v is:
00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686
[Apollo Super AC97/Audio] (rev 50)
Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation: Unknown device 0097
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 5
I/O ports at 1000 [size=256]
I/O ports at 1854 [size=4]
I/O ports at 1850 [size=4]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
I use the module snd-card-via686a with Alsa or the kernel module
via82cxxx_audio.
