OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Updated ALSA For Add Bass Speaker Switch For HP Dv7?
Apr 10, 2010
I would like your input please. I'm using an HP DV7 laptop and the sound works under Opensuse 11.2 but without base. I have therefore updated ALSA to version 1.0.22.1 to make use of the introduced base switch for DV7 (ALSA changelog here)
I have tried these ALSA options but without any change / improvement to the base sound.
options snd-hda-intel=hp-dv5 and also hp-dv7 and hp_dv7
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
Any ideas?
The second line stops the sound from "stuttering" but the first seem to have no effect.

Every time I boot into my laptop, there is no sound. Going to alsamixer in a terminal shows that the "Speaker" volume is constantly getting reset to 0, and bringing it back up fixes the problem. How can I get Alsa to remember to keep the speaker volume above 0?

I have 5.1-speaker set, confed succesfully with alsa. alsamixer -c 0 -command shows volume of all the speakers I want to set up. My problem is, when I have alsamixer open and change main volume from gnome-panel (it's called pavucontrol for me, pulseaudio?) it "resets" all speakers to max (100%). Only master volume changes like planned. For example, if I have front speakers set to 50%, center to 75%, surround to 100%, subwoofer to 40%, when changing volume from gnome's panel it only changes master volume, and puts every other speaker to max. How to prevent this? Do you have any clue? I had not any problems with this in openSUSE 11.1. Alt+F2 not working with Emerald decorator Screens go black after 10 minutes or so in openSUSE 11.2

I'm still on UBUNTUO 9.04 atm - I'm getting myself a Logitech USB headset. I plugged it in, and immediately I see this in dmesg
[ 7015.732141] input: Logitech Logitech USB Headset as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.3/input/input11[ 7015.732234] generic-usb 0003:046D:0A0B.0006: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.00 Device [Logitech Logitech USB Headset] on usb-0000:00:1a.1-2/input3 [ 7280.088017] usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
Which is fantastic. Tested this on all kind of audio and I can hear them fine. So headset is working wonders. Except, everytime I want to switch the output from between the speaker and the headset, I have to go System > Preference > Sound > output tab > click on the switch. Which is fine, but the switching procedure via GUI is very arduous. Is there a way to to do this via the command line, if so I can bind it to a hotkey and therefore with one hotkey I will be able to switch between headset vs my speaker?

I updated alsa to the latest 1.0.22, however now the alsa modules refuse to load! When I do
Code:
rcalsasound restart
I get:
Starting sound driver: hda-intelWARNING: Error inserting snd_timer (/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/updates/alsa/acore/snd-timer.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/updates/alsa/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Invalid module format
[code]....
My audio codec is IDT 92HD81B1C5 and the problem is I can't get the mic to work properly with the stock alsa.

I 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.

I am a happy user of Slackware 13, but there is an annoying problem with ALSA (or anything else??) on my system.Sometimes (rather often) only one speaker of my system plays music.I use plain Slackware 13, without /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc-- ALSA restart /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa doesn`t help-- muting/unmuting the mixer doesn`t help-- Rebooting the PC helps - most of the times1. )My Card is
bash-3.1$ cat /proc/asound/cards

I'm running Fedora 12 and at some point about a year ago my ALSA just stopped working. After posts, trials, etc, no joy. Now, after a few more months, and further F12 updates, I'm trying to get back to it.I have:
Code:
[root@DadPC ~]# cat /proc/asound/version

I'm trying to update ALSA, following the instructions here: SDB:Alsa-update - openSUSE.I'm not sure how to proceed at STEP THREE. There are two sets of instructions, based on whether or not the kernel has been updated. I'm not sure if it has been. How can I make sure?

Just switched my laptop from that other operating system to openSUSE11.2. Everything works great except for one odd little bug. Both my speakers and headphones have output, are affected by the volume control and it even detects when I plug in headphones and stops output to the speakers. However the moment I adjust the volume, output to my headphones stops, and my speakers start.
Following is my multimedia information: [URL]

I'm new to Ubuntu, but have some experience with *NIX (specifically Red Hat and AIX.) I'm not getting any bass out of my 4.1 Logitech THX setup. The surround speakers are operating fine. I know that the bass unit itself is working because I was using it with windows on this computer before I made the switch to Ubuntu. If I run a speaker test from either the sound preferences or the terminal, the speakers work but the bass does not. I ran this command from a terminal to help with the diagnostic effort, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at:
Code:
wget [URL] -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
Here is the output of the above command: [URL]
I have been searching for an answer to this question for some time now and can't see to find the relevant information anywhere.

I am running Karmic 64bit on a frankenstein desktop. I am using an old Creative Soundblaster card with the live drive front panel. Ever since I started using Karmic I have lost many functions, there are no bass and treble controls, and no other controls other than volume and balance. Am I missing some vital drivers?

When I decode an audio clip which contain 5.1 streams (the encoding doesn't matter - or does it?) I cannot find an option which allows redirection of the lower frequencies (from front, back and center channels) to the sub woofer (LFE channel). I understand that this perfectly normal and this is how 5.1 supposed to work. My problem is that my speakers are not full range, so they cannot reproduce the bass in the streams. What I want to know is if there is a way to do something like this: [URL]
Which is described as: Bass redir - Bass redirection. Route basses from all channels to subwoofer. Works only if it is subwoofer at output speakers. Highly recommended for systems with separate subwoofer. Basses are routed before mixing so basses are shown at LFE input level (although 'real' LFE may be absent).
I'm aware of the enable-lfe-remixing = yes option. It works fine for stereo, but not for 5.1
I use ubuntu 9.10 and my pulseaudio version is 0.9.19. The player I use most is SMPlayer (version 0.6.8 (SVN r3213)) and AC3-liba52 for AC3 decoding. My system is up to date.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 yesterday. I have an audigy2 sound card on my system. But did not see tone control such as bass and treble slide in mixer. When I run alsamixer at terminal window i got these controls but alsamixer does not control my sound card.

1. I run Suse 11.2 with two sound cards , one HDA comes with motherboard and second is USB, which I use for skype and talking. In YAST everything is fine the motherboard card is marked as prime card and the usb card is marked as second. But often when I log in alsa decides that second card is main and I have to pull out the USB card, run command "rcalsasound restart" and put the USB back afterward. It is a way that to be fixed in the way that alsa remember my choices forever. 2. The other problem is that from time to time the sound suddenly dies and I have to bring it up with rcalsasound restart again.
But I have to admit that their significant improvement with managing sound with PulseAudio.

I've got sound - I hear all the system sounds, I can play sound files, CDs, etc. But I have not been able to record and play back anything with success.
Originally, when I would record (either with arecord or with audacity) I would get extremely low quality sound, with lots of noise and crackling, and my recorded voice was barely audible (even with volume turned up to max). I played with alsamixer for hours without being able to improve matters.
Things are worse now. I tried installing alsa-firmware, as indicated at SDB:Audio troubleshooting - openSUSE. I also tried updating alsa following instructions given at SDB:Alsa-update - openSUSE. I'm not sure which of these changes did it, but the result is that I can no longer record ANYTHING at all. I get absolutely nothing, not even the low quality noise and crackling I was getting before. It's as if there is no audio input at all.
Uninstalling alsa-firmware and reverting back to the older alsa version (1.0.20) didn't change a thing.
I'm running openSUSE 11.2, kernel 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop, alsa 1.0.20. My sound card is a Creative X-Fi (by the way, yast cannot detect my card, another problem I have never solved).

I have just installed OS 11.3 onto a lenovo desktop / Thinkcentre that previously had vista installed on it. With Opensuse I am having trouble getting much sound volume. With Vista the volume was fine but with Opensuse I have PCM, Master running pretty much on full. This gives me a respectable volume but I think there should really be more left in the tank from what I have it at. Is there any way to increase the gain in Alsa? The sound device shows in KDE as HDA Intel (AD198x) using xine backend.

Once in a while I stumble on this (after I install something which probably conflicts). I was able with the sticky notes to correct the problem few times but this time is a bit more complicated at least for me.What is strange is that I cannot find the ALSA-Configuration.txt in my system.

First tried in the x64 section:[URL]
Original Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64) works great!
Fedora (2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64) broken!
Fedora (2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64) broken!
Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64) broken!
Does anyone have a workaround? In software I can turn the WLAN on, but Bluetooth isn't happening

I've been reluctant to post regarding this topic as I have tried and retried all of the "noob solutions" to get flash sound working but no luck- I need help! I suspect that it has to do with my system showing two sound cards (0 and 1) ; I tried different asoundrc file options from the ALSA Wiki but no luck. I am still left with Flash=No Audio.

I've got a laptop running OpenSuse 11.1/KDE 4.2. I've got sound working just fine (can play music, etc), but whenever there's a system alert (like when I get a new email in Thunderbird), I hear a loud BEEP, as if it's coming from the PC speaker.

I'm trying to record a video with sound through FFmpeg, and while it records the system sounds just fine, it doesn't record the microphone (in fact, it crashes on doing so!). The strange thing is that if I use arecord, it works just perfectly, but through ffmpeg it crashes.This is the command that I use to launch FFmpeg:
Code:

Does anyone know of an alsa based software multi-band (10 or more) graphic audio frequency equalizer that works with Suse 11.x? To be clear, I don't mean an equalizer within an audio or video player. One that can be used with any sound application, that works between the output of the player and the output plugs on a motherboard or sound card.
