Hi list members, I recently a acquired a tecra A6 that has intel HDA and realtek ALC861. I am running debian etch with kernel 2.6.15-1. I have installed alsa, alsa-utils, etc and have used both modconf and alsaconf to configure my sound. alsaconf identifies the sound card as an intel HDA and also realtek ALC861 (given as ID: 861 in alsamixer). I can play my mp3s using xmms through the speakers, but found that my microphone and headphones do not work. Kmix does not have options for mic and Line with etch. Alsamixer shows the line and mic but there is no slider. Incidently, running Kubuntu dapper (also the kernel 2.6.15) gives me all the options in kmix and it works without any problem. Running amixer I get:
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Mono: Front Left: Playback 245 [96%] [on] Front Right: Playback 245 [96%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Line',0 Capabilities: cswitch cswitch-joined cswitch-exclusive Capture exclusive group: 0 Capture channels: Mono Mono: Capture [on] Simple mixer control 'Mic',0 Capabilities: cswitch cswitch-joined cswitch-exclusive Capture exclusive group: 0 Capture channels: Mono Mono: Capture [off] Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 13 Front Left: Capture 11 [85%] [on] Front Right: Capture 11 [85%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Input',0 Capabilities: cswitch cswitch-joined cswitch-exclusive Capture exclusive group: 0 Capture channels: Mono Mono: Capture [off] The only difference I found between running kubuntu dapper live and etch is that I do not have the devices pcmC0D6c and pcmC0D6p in etch but is present when running kubuntu dapper live in my /dev/snd I have found that these 2 devices are found in /dev/.static/dev/snd. The bottom line is that everything works with kubuntu dapper live and not in etch. Can anyone help me get my headphone and mic working?
