I don't know. I think that the problem depends on the new snd-aoa
series modules. They are not needed with snd-powermac that can handle
the i2s bus by it

I'm afraid not. I haven't touched Tumbler - yet. But I'll see what I
can do. Could you give me the output from:
$ cat /proc/device-tree/model; echo

Probably a bug, somewhere. I had similar messages when I tested a
driver (snd-powermac) that didn't release the IRQs it had used. Which
version of kernel are you using?

Hi Amos,
The one thing you probably forgot, was to copy the vmlinux and

you will have to direct BootX to use them, as you did with the images

To conclude, there are two remaining problems with snd-aoa:
(1) At startup, with headphones inserted, they are (visibly) muted.
(2) All sound is always muted.

Hi Lee,
I can report that it works on my Mac mini.
One difference might be that I use a monitor, Nokia 400 Xa, that can
provide its supported refresh rates etc., the TV perhaps cannot.
Another reason could be the new feature in kernel, KMS, that I have
disabled, by adding a file:
/etc/modprobe.

Hi Pat,
I think I've seen this before on another kind of machine, probably a
PowerBook G4.
I believe I solved it by disabling the default window manager (compiz)
by replacing it with metacity (metacity --replace &). It can also be
set as default wm in gconf-editor:
/desktop/gnome/applications/win
After installing Squeeze on a PowerBook G3 Lombard, I cannot avoid
sounding negative. Compared to Lenny...
What is most important when it comes to computers? Stability, I guess.
The machine practically stops after some minutes. Top shows 99%wa

Sorry. I have to take back my words. Partly. Lenny froze also in the
end. Similarly but differently. This time 99%sy, hald-addon-storage
running wild. So it's even possible that there's something wrong in
the hardware.

I wish I could. It's seems to be quite irregular, and won't show up
when I'm ready.
The installation of Squeeze/Sid (netinst CD) went normally until, at
some point, hal started to poll the CD drive and give odd
We (thank you, Tom, for testing) have found a solution to the
remaining problem with silent Pro Speakers (2.5 mm jack). A patched
(debug) version of the (snd-powermac) driver is available at:

Hi,
Looks like the problem is somehow related to hal. If I stop it
(/etc/init.d/hal stop), the machine remains usable (some functionality
probably lacking). Otherwise it 99% hangs after some minutes,
typically during the post-processing phase of aptitude install. I
managed to run aptitude safe-upg
Looks like most (cheap) cards of this type are based on this VIA chipset.
I have some experience of similar cards on older PowerMacs with older
Linux. Some of them work, some exhibit the same -110 error. It also
depends on the connected USB device. In some cases removing ehci

Hi Rick,
ehci-hcd can take three parameters:
log2_irq_thresh (0-6): log2 IRQ latency, 1-64 microframes
park (1-3): park setting; 1-3 back-to-back async packets
ignore_oc (0-1): ignore bogus hardware overcurrent indications
I don't really know what they mean, and I doubt they would help here,
but
Hi Mitchell,
I have an almost identical machine: 1.07 Ghz model iBook G4 (early
2004). So I did two simple tests:
First I changed input to Mic in alsamixer, then recoded some sound:
arecord -f cd t.wav
and played it back:
aplay t.wav
Second I played this file:

As I already told, it works on my iBook with Squeeze (and Ubuntu,
too). I assume yours is a PowerBook6,5, too?
Looks like snd-aoa is not even trying to support this machine, snd-powermac is.
And Ubuntu 10.04 uses the same version of kernel, 2.6.32. But it is
running pulseaudio on top on snd-power

Did you try removing /var/lib/alsa/asound.state?

I was surprised to see that cat /proc/cpuinfo gives 600 MHz as your
CPU clock. Is it the same with Ubuntu?
My guess is that this is some kind of byte order problem, low and high
bytes of the 16 bit sample get swapped. Either the chip gets out of
sync, or the code interprets the data wrong.
