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 want to remove pulse and install alsa instead but I can't seem to be able to do it. I tried to search for all packages with "pulse" in their names and purging them but it didn't work because aptitude wanted to remove all of the packages that used pulse with along with pulse.

Gnome volume control shows that HDA Intel(Alsa mixer) is selected and as a default the speaker is muted, if I unmute it, an infinite loop-like sound plays and no application seems to have access to the sound, I believe the correct module is installed by default, and the webcam does not work as well. I'm using debian squeeze i386.
I'm at the tail end of my upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze and I think this sound issue is the last one I have.
As usual I've tried hunting for some answers but it gets very confusing when people are using KDE or PulseAudio or Ubuntu or slightly different configuration to what I have.
My config:
Debian Squeeze 2.6.32
Alsa (just because I was using that in Lenny and it was working, no other reason)
Gnome
Rhythmbox
Skype
Skype is pretty good - it has the sound configuration built in, so I say ring the speakers and it does. I say talk to the headset and it does. Rhythmbox is my music player (again just because I was using it under Lenny) however it only wants to play through the headset. I can't seem to get it to play to the speakers attached to the rear port.
Summary of some settings (transposed manually)
# aplay -l
*** List of PLAYBACK hardware devices ***
card 0: Headset (Logitech) device 0: usb audio
subdevice 0/1
card 1: Intel HDA device 0: ALC883 Analog
[Code].....
I am using Debian testing. If I install the gnome-desktop-environment then the sound driver defaults to HDA but since I just installed gnome-core (for a more stripped-down version of gnome) the default is the OSS driver. How do I get ALSA to default to the sound driver HDA?

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 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
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 Realtek ALC262 sound card, using the ALSA-1.0.20 driver， when I load the driver module manually using the command "modprobe snd-hda-intel model=basic", the card can work correctly, but I do not know how to modify the config file "modules.conf" or others to add the model type, so that the driver module can be load automaticly when the computer is startup, anyone knows that?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got rid of pulseaudio because it breaks in so many different situations. I've switched to Alsa, and all of my sound is working except in mpd. It seems like I have to set audio_output in /etc/mpd.conf. Here is my config file:

And I hear the song play for less than a second before the audio_output driver is closed. There really aren't any error messages printed explaining why it's not working. I've also tried "oss", "esd" and "ao" for the audio_output type, and none of them work.
I am still running the linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 kernel a computer with squeeze. I installed squeeze on it when it was unstable. I would like to bring up to the new stable state.Should I do apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-5-686or should Iapt-get dist-upgrade
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.
..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.
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 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRegarding ALSA and PulseAudio - Explanation on how these two interact. After installing Debian I realised that my sound control (Volume Control: HDA Intel ALSA mixer) was different from what I had with Ubuntu where it would display a window called "Sound properties" in which allowed me to control the sound of each program running - I believe this is the PulseAudio aspect. (If I'm wrong at this point please correct me)
Now I have managed to get PulseAudio setup correctly for me (not as easily as Ubuntu but I moved to Debian to learn, not be spoon fed), however the way in which I did it may of been wrong - pretty much just went to synaptic and installed everything with PulseAudio in its name
Currently the sound icon in my top Gnome panel (within the notification area applet) has the ALSA mixer, sometimes when I log on it has the PulseAudio one (Sound preferences window), I don't really mind which one is loaded thanks to the PulseAudio Volume Control program (under Sound & Video). Is there a way though to stick with just one?
I'm having some trouble getting ALSA working on my system. I had been using OSS for awhile but decided to move to ALSA after a kernel upgrade. ALSA worked fine except for the tedious chore of having to run alsaconf everytime I booted up. I was getting errors message for OSS during boot up telling me OSS modules weren't loading properly and linux-headers needed to be installed to get it to work properly again. I ended up installing the linux-headers later due to some nvidia driver fiddling. My system has now reverted back to OSS and I can't seem to get ALSA to work at all. I have libasound2, alsa-base, alsa-utils and alsa-oss installed and alsaconf says no ALSA modules are loaded. I've been searching around and haven't found how to get rid of OSS to install ALSA properly.

I just did a reinstall of Debian testing last night, and today I am configuring the system to my liking. I just clicked on the mixer in the tray, and the only option I get is Realtek ALC269. Before I could use ALSA. What happened, and how can I get ALSA back?
I did an "apt-get install alsa" to see if I could even get ALSA, and it downloaded and installed. I still can't seem to get ALSA working down there.
