Debian Hardware :: Getting My Soundcard To Work - No Alsaconf ?
Jul 19, 2011
I've stumbled onto a bit of a conundrum regarding my audio, stopping me from listening to the wise teachings of Mac-Gyver (and various other things)
Since I couldn't find a firmware for the Realtek ALC888 device, I downloaded the proprietary driver from the official website. However, when I try and install it I get a message containing "no command alsaconf". I would have installed this "however" alsaconf has been removed from the alsa-utils package; cannot find any way to obtain this file at all.
Assuming having alsaconf will make the proprietary driver work and my audio to blast, how would I get my hands on this? Should I even need to get this? Or maybe there is a free working driver out there somewhere..
By the way if I did a full install with all the system tools and drivers, somewhere amongst that it would work, but that's too easy.

I updated my Slackware installation to 13.37 today. I was running current (a few weeks old).
I recently bought a new set of 2.1 speakers, so i thought of re-running alsaconf and then alsamixer.
Thats when i got this strange error:
Code:
These are the contents of my /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
Code:
Here is the output of lspci and dmesg:
lspci:
Code:
dmesg:
Code:
Ok...The funny thing is, the sound still works! (Alsamixer shows all the 6 channels of my previous 5.1 speaker system).
Additional Info:
*Am using a customized kernel - version 2.6.39-rc5.
**It does not work in the default Kernel 2.6.37.6, not even in 2.6.38.
*** It works in kernel version 2.6.35.x and 2.6.36.x. (I checked!)

I noticed the debian was not giving me sound playback to some things, such as some games. but other games worked.
So being the ignorant idiot i am i blindly ran alsaconf and did something and now my sound dose not work at all, but if i go to the top panel, click on system- go to preffrences then sound, i can select my input out put device and I happen to use a Usb audio device with a mic.
If i play the test sound i actually get the continuous beep that plays, i can hear it.but now, the Mic dose not work for things like Skype or anything else. also, the sound dose not work when i load ANY games. I come from a windows background if that helps.
when i type the code:
I get a message that says: Rockwell International Device 4310
If i'm not a complete fool, then i believe that is my sound card.
I think that after running "alsaconf" a second time i was able to mount the correct sound device.
but it gives me the error message:Terminating processes: 3721.
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-usb-audio snd-usb-lib snd-riptide snd-ac97-codec snd-seq-dummy snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-opl3-lib snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-mpu401-uart snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-rawmidi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device.
Building card database...
Loading driver...
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
So, is there a way to reinstall my alsa drivers or something. sound dose not work after this, by the way. And will updateing debian lenny solve this? i am not sure which version i have, but it is for sure the 32-bit version. im at my wits end. Reinstalling the whole os can be an option, but i really dont want to do that. first i would have to reinstall Windows xp and install debian useing a windows installer. booting from an ios dose not seem to work for my system. I have an old computer, it was built for windows 98 computer.

Well, when I run alsaconf, it finds my 82801H and I go on to setting it up, it says it will run, but it doesnt run.

But my song don't work, ..... works, but no sound in that, and i have tried running alsamixer to raise the volume to the peak.
I have a vague idea that, this sound card has difficulty in linux but all I get is 3 year old patches for gutsy gibbon and fixes that are non-slackware so I dont have the files and what not.
I have been trying, but never seem to understand why it says it works when it doesnt work.
Oh turns out, from thinkwiki, [url]
Its AD1984 actually, and it didn't work on 2.6.24.2 mine is 2.6.29.2 .

As alsaconf as been removed from alsa-utils in Squeeze, how to configure ALSA ?
Which replacement for alsaconf ?
Debian is squeeze.
Package alsa-utils v1.0.22-1
Currently alsamixer is running fine for setup but i.e. speaker-test produce no sound.
Previous Lenny installation was working once alsaconf ran.

I have a problem with my 64-bit version of Debian Linux Lenny. I have to run alsaconf every time I boot into the machine. I have tried to run this command followed by alsaclt store. It was no help, I still have to run the command every time to get sound, which makes it very annoying. Anybody know what configuration file I should be looking at, and what I should be changing. If you need a print out of any of my configuration files, just let me know what they are and where they are and I will post them. The sound was working fine for the longest time before, I think the whole mess started when installed KDE, E16, XFCE etc. I was trying out these new windows managers and seeing if I would like them. I don't really like them all that much as the gnome so I removed them.

I have an white iBook (G3 900mz model) and it doesn't autodetect the sound card. Running lspci | grep audio doesn't produce anything but running alsaconf does detect the PowerMac sound card which works if you follow all the prompts. Unfortunatly this doesn't make anything permanent and I was looking for advice as to how to set this up so that the sound configuration is actually there across boots.
One of the screens of alsaconf after selecting PowerMac and watching it say configuring snd-powermac it asks; Would you like to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound? (and /etc/modprobe.conf)
Which I say yes to and then it gives me the happy message about having fun with your working sound card. I then log out and back in and the sound works great.
I've tried using alsactl store but that doesn't seem to work because at every boot there is a message that scrolls past saying "alsactl restore" failed with a state of 1573: No Sound Cards found.

I have a computer without a soundcard and want to stream sound from it. How can I force ALSA to ignore the lack of a soundcard? Whatever I try to do, it complains that it cannot find one.Or could I trick ALSA by making a file /dev/dsp that links to /dev/null or something like that?

I am new in Debian as i am 4-5 year in ubuntu. I switched to Debian recently and it feels great. But i have a problem with sound configuration etc. How can i get my usb soundcard (Behringer UPhoria UM2) working and set it as default soundcard?
I am posting results of several commands
cat /proc/asound/cards :
Code: Select all0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16
1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfdffc000 irq 43
2 [CODEC ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio CODEC
Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC at usb-0000:00:12.1-2, full speed
[Code] ....
Changing the index of snd-usb-audio to 1 does not work.
I am trying very hard last days to fix that problem with no success. Kernel i am running is 3.2.0-4-amd64. Last days i had compiled 3.14 but i dont know if i messed up the configuration for device drivers etc. I certainly want kernel 3.4-lowlatency configured but i dont know what device drivers should be included in menuconfig. Also i do not know for sure if it is a permission issue.

I've installed Debian 6.0.1 with kernel 2.6.32 and I've got an issue with my Ayre QB9 usb soundcard.MPD says: problems opening audio device. I have MPD running as root.Below I've copied a bit of output from terminal that might give someone a clue.dmesg (The second to last OSS line I've only seen once, but as it involves audio I though I might include it.

I have a problem on a fresh install of Jessie with KDE. I have three soundcards. In Wheezy I used pavucontrol once for each application to change the sink from the internal to the external soundcard, and that setting would stick each time I rebooted the system (audio would go on the external soundcard). Now each time I reboot the audio gets routed to the internal soundcard and I have to use pavucontrol each time to route the audio back to the external one. URL...
putting this line in /etc/pulse/default.pa
set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-E-MU_Systems__Inc._E-MU_0404___USB_E-MU-0E-3F04-07D80A14-027A8-STATION_01-00-USB.analog-stereo
as well as this one, and issuing:
pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-E-MU_Systems__Inc._E-MU_0404___USB_E-MU-0E-3F04-07D80A14-027A8-STATION_01-00-USB.analog-stereo
and none of them has worked. I don't know if it's a related issue, but the settings I choose in the for Phonon in the KDE multimedia settings don't stick either. I select the external soundcard as default device and upon reboot the internal one is on top on the preferences list.

I have no more sound on my debian. The only audio output I can find is the "dummy output".
When I try ask to aplay -l to display my sound cards, here's the output :
Code: Select alldevice_list:268: aucune carte son n'a été trouvée... <=> french for "no sound card found"
But I can still see my card(s) using lspci :
Code: Select all00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device fa49

I already updated the system, reinstalled pulseaudio and alsa without any success.

I am a total Newbie in the matter of Linux installation and configuration and I just ran into my first major problem. I have a Dell XPS 720 with a Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi extreme Gamer Soundcard. But when I tried to set the Sound-Preferences, I got the following error message:"audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback."By now I know, why the system is unable to open the device, because during the installation of Debian (Lenny) the system recognized another "sounddevice", which is called SP2208WFP. That is my monitor with integrated webcam and microphone. And of course, it doesn't make a noise. So I have disconnected the USB cable to the monitor to avoid an automatic recognition (that costs me 3 important USB plugs) and I tried (now since 3 days) to configure the Sounblaster as the current sound device. But without success. lspci -v shows me, that there is a Soundblaster device:
02:04.0 Audio device: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 6002
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11

Alsaconf doesn't recognise any sound cards on my system, although the sound still works and can be changed with alsamixer. The USB speakers work perfectly well in KDE, where I can use the KDE utils to switch between the USB and built-in speakers. So I need a way to do the same thing from the command line without alsaconf or to get alsaconf working.

I've got a problem on Slackware64 13.37, my sound is way to loud even on minimum settings, it just jumps from off to quite loud, this is not a hardware problem as when I use sound from my debian rescue partition I have full control, I have tried using alsamixer as well as the graphical volume control (I'm using xfce but a quick test on kde gives the same results), alsaconf doesn't seem to detect any sound cards, alsa mixer correctly identifies my sound card ( NVIDA ), been googling and searching these forums but all the sound problems seem to be about sound being to low or nonexistent.

WHERE TO WRITE :"modprobe snd-hda-intel model=acer "? I have problem with soundcard. In fact it is not recognised and of course I don't have sound.After working and looking for solutions I found that if I make this command : as root # modprobe snd-hda-intel model=acer

I have just installed a Xonar dg onto Ubuntu10.10The MBoard is also Asus with a built in card that works ok. The AlSA site says it may work (although no drivers for this are specific) as it uses a CM 18786 chip & I believe snd-cmipci contains the driver for this.My motherboard has its own driver built in, I can turn this of in the BIOS.Is their an easy install/driver option with Ubuntu 10.10?

This is how I got my firebox to work in conjunction with my onboard soundcard (in my case, Intel HDA) on Fedora 11 x86_64. This article assumes you have basic knowledge on jack and qjackctl and a jack-compatible program such as ardour.
My smolt: [URL]
Reasons: Personally, I just wanted to be able to do it and to be able to give a good explanation when people ask me why I'm monitoring recordings through headphones - and because it won't work through the PC speakers wasn't going to cut it. You may also need it because while recording "deaf" might be fine, playback needs to go through your state-of-the-art monitors. You may need it because you have a studio all set up and for some odd reason, you just need to add a firebox in. Of course, if you had a studio, you could have just patched the line outs to your main speakers. But that is besides the point.
After searching for almost 3-4 days, I chanced upon rokit's thread and was very disheartened when he seemed to have found no solution. Today, he solved the connection issues but I wanted more. Unlike him, I wasn't using my firebox as a sound card. It would be a sin to waste my onboard audio capabilities. The Juice (some parts paraphrased from rokit's solution)You need to install the PlanetCCRMA repository. Since I'm using Fedora 11 (x86_64), I used this one. This will install the repositories for you so tat yum will be able to locate the needed updates.
Code: [URL]
If you have jack1 (0.x.x) already installed, you MUST uninstall it. jack2 will NOT work with jack1.
Code:
yum remove jack-audio-connection-kit*
The * at the end will also remove the -devel version if you had it installed. Uninstalling jack will remove a lot of existing software that uses jack as a dependancy. Take note of them so you can reinstall them later. Install FFADO. FFADO is the new Freebob from the same developers. It's the driver that will connect jack2 to the firebox. You MUST install this before jack2.
Code:
yum install ffado libffado
Install jack2.
Code:
yum install jack-audio-connection-kit jack-audio-connection-kit-devel
[code]....
Like rokit, I have had much trouble running this without the realtime kernel. I ended up installing Fedora in another partition and this is what I have. As a result, I now have no graphics driver and everything looks weird. I will try to install ATI Catalyst 9,9 and if it works I'll post back. If I don't, assume it doesn't.

New install of 11.2 with KDE 4.I have two soundcards in my system, one on the motherboard and a soundblaster. I multiboot and all FIVE other images, including SUSE 10.1 with KDE 3, use the soundblaster so that is where the speakers are plugged in. 11.2 insists on configuring the motherboard sound card for KDE, even when I do a fresh install setting the soundblaster as the primary sound card at installation time or when I remove the motherboard sound card from the configuration after installation. KDE 4 never even lists the soundblaster as a known card. Any way to fix or work around this restriction?

My sound stopped working! (after a fresh install, explained below)I just installed the latest release of openSuse. Right after installing, I ran the updates tool and got all recommended updates. All fine.I then installed my ATI catalyst drivers. Rebooted a couple of times. All fine.Everything was working 100% (including sound), I then rebooted, now something is wrong.Now my sound is not working, I right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, and to my surprise my soundcard is not listed like it was just before. It used to show up as an X-fi card, which was correct.
In Yast, I go to sound, and in the hardware section, there is nothing there, my soundcard is not listed. I tried to add a soundcard in Yast, (creative xfi) but it wont install, I get some IRQ error.I'm all out of ideas. I'm a new to using linux, but I know my way around the console.I have trolled through the internet for hours to no avail

An application I am trying to get going on 9.10 takes over my soundcard whenever I run it. I hear a small pop from the speakers and then no application can play sound after that.
The program is: springlobby
My soundcard is: Onboard sound (Asus M4N68T-M motherboard)
I have posted on the application's forum but it seems most of the posters are developers and the advice goes a bit over my head.
Quote: old versions of SL uses SDL audio to access the sound card, make sure SDL audio is set to use alsa+dmix or pulseaudio, if it's set to OSS or alsa with direct card access, it will lock the sound card
if it's a recent version, everything i said applies instead for openal.I have removed pulseaudio but this is not the cause of my problem as it was the same before removal.full thread is here: http:[url]....
