OpenSUSE Hardware :: ALC889 + 11.2 X86_64 - No Sound
Jan 19, 2010
I have followed the opensuse sound troubleshoot pages and can't get it to work. The onboard sound does work in Sudix, out-of-the-box so I know it's not me plugging in my headphones in the wrong socket. Maybe Sidux works because it's newer? I did update opensuse 11.2 before I started again and I did install the new alsa, but that still didn't fix it, I only installed the latest stable build. Is there a development branch that may support my sound card? Anyway, here is the vital info:
I've just switched to 11.4 from 11.3 with zypper dup. Now I have no sound whatsoever. I had a problem getting the sound to work when I started using 11.3, but on 11.4 those exact same settings don't work. When I try "speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav" I get no errors, but still no sound. I have a Gigabyte P55A-UD4P motherboard with intel core i7 which I have connected to stereo with optical cable. I do not even have pulseaudio installed, as that was just another headache.
I've had a snap, crackle, pop coming from my speakers since I put this machine together, even now, with no reason for any sound to be coming from the speakers. Additionally, the crackling only becomes worse when I play ANY audio regardless of player or source, however the sound does just drop for a few seconds and then back and then off again when there is SUPPOSED to be audio. I understand not working at all, but "kinda" working is more confusing.
I'm running slack64 with the with an updated kernel from current, even though the rest of the machine is stock 13_64. The problem was the same with the original 2.6.29.6 kernel.
I had a opensuse 11.1 X86_64 system with openoffice. This has been replaced by an opensuse 11.3 X86_64 system with openoffice 3.2.1.4. I have many pps files and these worked complete with sound on the 11.1 system but there is no sound on the 11.3 system. The 11.1 system has gone and was overwritten by Windows 7 so I can't verify the build. I know I made lots of changes to the 11.1 system in order to fix various problems and openoffice could well have come from a factory repo.
What I need to know is what is needed to make impress play pps presentations as it did on 11.1 and does on windows 7. I searched on the internet and it appears that the novell version of ooo may use gstreamer. I have loaded many gstreamer packages from packman including plugin-good but still get no sound. Starting impress from a command line does not produce any error messages.Does the novell openoffice use gstreamer or java multimedia? I have not yet tried the java option I could try downloading the novell openoffice source and try to work out what it is using. I am not sure that I have the time to go searching through the source and probably trying to compare it to the ooo source
I have tried reinstall of alsa, libasound. I was having 32-bit flash player; but there was no sound. Now I am using 64-bit flash player from adobe website, yet no sound still. I do not have pulseaudio. The file alsa-pulse.conf does not exist. Somehow, my system thinks there is pulse while I have it uninstalled.
Attempting to compile an application that is not located in any of the repos yet for 11.3 64 bit. I have downloaded the appropriate src and untarred it. However, when I attempt to run the ./configure command here is the error I receive. checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux- failed
I have made sure that I have all kernel-headers packages installed and am unsure as how to proceed. I tried using the command "./configure --build=x86_64" and then receive an error stating that the "SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPORTED" and continued errors stating that gcc is not installed, eve though it is.
I'm having no sound and no flash workin on my newly updated F12 kde x86_64 desktop, I could get back sound by yum removing pulseaudio, but installing flash ( thru mjmwired instructions), get pulseaudio back installed.
I have motherboard Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P with nvidia hda sound card and I have no sound output using line in input. I've already tried to compile actual realtek linux driver but it didn't help. It looks ok because using gnome-volume-control I can see that there is music - volume bar is moving - and I can record it but I can't hear that on speaker live. I have also only 2 channel output hardware configuration. Alsa mixer have all channels but changing volume adjust didn't help. some information:
I just installed nVidia GT440 w/ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.13.run driver on my Scientific Linux on two of my workstation and one of workstation sound disappeared. Both workstations are identical though in terms of hardware and OS (Scientific Linux).
I'm not really sure where to look, but here is dmesg from workstation where sound isn't working:[URL]..whenever I go to System -> Preference -> Sound -> Output on broken workstation I only see "HDA NVidia Digital Stereo (HDMI)" and my old/onboard sound card is missing.
I actually did roll out of same Video Card to more then just 2 workstation, I did that to a 5. Only 2 of them sound working as expected. 1 of them didn't even needed to install nVidia drivers but that workstation running slightly newer OS version 6.1 instead of rest 6.0, so I'm back to where I started it ... clueless ;(
Months ago, I tried to get my notebook's internal modem working, by installing alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.23.1-1.noarch.rpm and hsfmodem-7.80.02.06x86_64full-1.x86_64.rpm, both from Linuxant. This did not work, but my system was stable and the sound device (Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)) worked fine.In the last few days, I upgraded to the latest kernel 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64. Boot failed due to an inability to build the alsa-driver-linuxant against the kernel source (I have the kernel source in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64/). The message in boot.log was:
Code: ERROR: Build failed. Please review the build log at /var/run/alsa-driver.1367.log. /var/run/alsa-driver.1367.log contains the error:
The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.
I have an Intel DX58SO motherboard with the ALC889 onboard sound, running kubuntu 10.04, and I am not getting analog sound. Strangely, spdif is working great, but I need analog to work, too. I've been in alsamixer, nothing is muted. That's the extent of my troubleshooting knowledge for sound issues.
Mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5, Audio Chip is shown by alsamixer as HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB, Realtek ALC889. Analog Audio is working fine. Now i tried to use the digital output. And it did not work. AVR and cable are working fine. Software is Ubuntu 11.04.
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:

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!)
after random chashes of openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 on my Acer Aspire 5720z I found a lot of messsages on the log
Code: mcelog: failed to prefill DIMM database from DMI data dmidecode seem ok for me Code: sharwyn:/var/log # dmidecode # dmidecode 2.10 SMBIOS 2.4 present.
on a newly installed opensuse 11.4 x86_64 I am unable to find the settings to switch keyboard layout from english to german to french or any other language .it used to be in the system settings Keyboard-->Keyboard layouts -->> activate german btw french etc...
After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.
I just tried to install mythvideo 0.22 from the packman repository and Yast tell me it requires python-imdb. Havent been able to track down an rpm for opensuse 11.2 x86_64. Is there any way to request that this rpm be built?
I can't install gnome-mplayer on my openSUSE 11.2 I used the " 1-click insall" I also tried manully installation, got below errors # rpm -ivh gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2-9.1.x86_64.rpm gnome-mplayer-lang-0.9.9.2-9.1.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: MPlayer is needed by gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2-9.1.x86_64 libmusicbrainz3.so.6()(64bit) is needed by gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2-9.1.x86_64
Running 'zypper install lvm2-clvm' results in a message: Resolving package dependencies...

I have configured the following repositories:

What could be the problem here? Am I just missing a repository or is cluster LVM not supported on opensuse 11.3?
It looks like the ocfs2console is broken on openSuse 11.4 64bit. I tested on several servers and my laptop. It works under 11.3 x86_64 but that uses Python 2.6. OpenSuse 11.4 uses Python 2.7.
I tried to submit a bug but I can't seem to get my email address verified so I can use the bug tracker.

When I run the YAST Online Update OR Software Management OR Zypper, the Updates (or install of new software) fails when the download of the Delta RPM reaches 98%. I have added ALL of the community repositories and have Imported the appropriate certificates. When watching the DeltaRPM or normal RPM download, it starts the download at approx. 4Mbs/sec until it reaches 98% of file downloaded. Then, the speed drops to 0 B/sec and the file download fails. This then prompts a Retry which again fails when it reaches approx 98% download.
It does not matter if I am doing an Online Update, Doing a Software Management (to install new software) or using Zypper in a Terminal session, the result is the same. I have even gone so far as to connect the machine DIRECTLY to the internet, bypassing all firewalls so as to ensure it is not a firewall issue.

Built a new machine 2 weeks ago and installed openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 on it using the express setup (or whatever it was called). I have always done a manual setup in the past, but wanted to try out the fast way. This is my first experience with openSUSE 64 bit (always used 32 bit in the past). I have used SLES 10 64 bit without problem.
When I shutdown openSUSE the machine does not power off. It has always done this from after the initial install and after any updates. It does reboot just fine. Same behaviour if I shutdown from the GUI or from terminal as root. I either get a General Protection Fault or an OOPS with PREEMPT SMP.I must power off the machine manually and disconnect from power before restarting. System is ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T CPU, 2 x Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 RAM, EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB I have updated the motherboard BIOS - no change.
How do I set up a 256mb ramdisk on opensuse 11.3 x86_64 ? - The /boot/grub/menu.lst content reads as:
# Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Mon Aug 30 11:33:28 EST 2010 # THIS FILE WILL BE PARTIALLY OVERWRITTEN by perl-Bootloader # Configure custom boot parameters for updated kernels in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader default 0 timeout 8 gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message [Code]....
When I try to connect to my PC with sftp, the connection closes right away. Connect with ssh works flawlessly, and so does fish:// ! I run openSUSE 11.1
I keep getting this error. packageKit Error dep-resolution-failed: patch:choqok-3320.noarch conflicts with libqoauth1.x86_64 When I go to the YAST software manager and search for libqoauth1.x86_64 it doesn't hit on anything. What gives here?
