Hello, I installed Debian Etch on my laptop HP compaq nx7010 yesterday and sadly get no audio output.
After the first launch of KDE I got a pop-up with the error message: "Sound server information message: Error while initializing sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device." I started "kcontrol / Sound / Sound System / Hardware" and activated the ALSA sound system. I installed the remaining alsa packages and ran alsaconf. Then I used alsamixer and unmuted all channels (both actions as root). I also used alsamixer as normal user and of cause kmix - no effect. Due to Bug report #362282 I replaced libasound2 with version 1.0.11-7 - no effect. After this I used the module-assistent to build the ALSA module drivers, installed them and run alsaconf and alsamixer again - no effect. I have two remarks concerning this issue: 1. The ALSA sound system works with Debian Sarge. 2. I tested two other distributions (Kubuntu 6.06 and SusSE 10.1) in the last weeks: I had no audio on both distributions. On Ubuntu 6.06 (using GNOME) audio is available (but I have no idea about the sound system). Here is a dump of the loaded sound modules: saturn:~$ lsmod | grep snd snd_intel8x0m 15372 0 snd_intel8x0 29436 3 snd_ac97_codec 82784 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2048 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 43520 0 snd_mixer_oss 15584 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 74408 5 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 20292 2 snd_pcm snd 46080 11 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8672 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9800 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm Here is a hardware overview: saturn:~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 01) 02:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.
