I am on a new Dell XPS M17110 2.6.9-34.ELsmp RHEL4 Update 3 (fully up2date) The Intel HDA sound card (with chip SigmaTel STAC9200) as identified by AlsaMixer v1.0.6. However, only the master, capture and capture mux show up in alsamixer as usable/adjustable. The word 'mic' is shown but appears unusuable. There are no other inputs shown.
Consistent with this info, I am able to rip cd's to *.wav files and play the *.wav thru the speakers. However, I can't hear the CD, nor can I get the mic working (eg for skype). As an additional issue, tho the headphones and speakers both work, plugging in the headphones does not turn off the speakers. The output of amixer is : ##### [EMAIL PROTECTED] infos]$ amixer Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 24 [77%] [on] Front Right: Playback 24 [77%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 15 Front Left: Capture 10 [67%] [on] Front Right: Capture 10 [67%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Capture Mux',0 Capabilities: volume Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: 0 - 4 Mono: 3 [75%] Front Left: Front Right: Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0 Capabilities: Mono: ######### The currently loaded sound modules (from the updated RH distribution are): [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-driver-1.0.11]# lsmod | grep 'snd' snd_azx 21072 5 snd_hda_codec 85957 1 snd_azx snd_pcm_oss 52345 0 snd_mixer_oss 21825 3 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 91973 3 snd_azx,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 27973 1 snd_pcm snd 56997 12 snd_azx,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 12961 3 snd snd_page_alloc 13641 2 snd_azx,snd_pcm ** Is there anything I can do do get the inputs working without building new modules?
