Hi All, In case I have to say it, I'm very frustrated trying to get ALSA sound working on my Debian ETCH (up to date) box.
My motherboard has built-in sound. Needless to say, I want to hear sound. I also want to be able to record sound from the stereo headphones jack of my radio and the stereo audio out from my XM radio. I've used arecord -t wav -f CD junk.wav to try to record. No matter what the settings in the mixers...total silence (as seen by audacity and as confirmed by using hexdump). I've searched. I tried reloading the ALSA drivers. I ran alsaconf. I downloaded and installed the kernel source and the ALSA drivers source, but I was not able to compile the drivers (couldn't find version.h). Yes, I adjusted for source location with: ./config --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18 I've tried alsamixer and alsamixergui. Here is a bunch of info that I found about my system: alsamixergui: Chip Analog Devices AD1986A +------------------ lspci | grep -i audio 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) +------------------ uname -a Linux mail 2.6.18-6-k7 #1 SMP Mon Oct 13 16:52:47 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux +---------------- cat /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.12rc1 emulation code) Kernel: Linux mail 2.6.18-6-k7 #1 SMP Mon Oct 13 16:52:47 UTC 2008 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 177 Audio devices: 0: AD198x Analog (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: Analog Devices AD1986A +-------------------- ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-11-27 08:48 /dev/dsp +---------------- Is there anything else you need to know about my system to help me get sound working?
