Slackware :: Alsaconf Cannot Detect Soundcard - Realtek ALC889 - After Upgrade To 13.37
May 4, 2011
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'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'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.

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'm using Xubuntu Natty at the moment, on an Acer Aspire 5739G. Figured I would go to Realtek's site and get the most recent soundcard driver, since the built-in subwoofer has never worked on Linux for me.
I used the automatic install script, then when it tried to probe for other devices, suddenly I had no sound.
I'm currently getting
Code:
korin@corrosion:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:240: no soundcards found...
I tried reinstalling the ALSA driver, but to no avail. I now have no sound, and no idea a) why this failed, and b)

Till around three hours back, sound was there. After restarting the computer, there was no sound. I checked the sound pref. Nothing was mute. The sound icon showed:
Output 48%
-19.13dB, Dummy Output

I have an MSI S420 with a realtek alc883 onboard. I upgraded from ubutu 8.04 to 10.4 recently, The sound worked in 8.04 although the mic did't work and the same thing in 8.10 (i went through all upgrades) it stopped working at all in 9.04 onwards.
If i did Lspci -v it did say the name of my card, ( I unmuted all in alsamixer and got the codecs but even a test soud won't work) I also dowloaded a driver from Realtek itself, that didn't work.
Then I edited alsabace.conf some more. I tried every one that could possily be it at [URL] including all that said MSI.
I then tried Lordraidens comprehensive sound guide from step 1 to step 5, I used the module-assistant and istalled a driver that was called "hda-realtek-codec" or so. It was the only appropriate one on the list.
I also run into someoe with thesame problem. [URL]
i think ill give up and use the 8.10 that is still on a other partition

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 am running Slackware Linux-13.1. Recently I noticed that alsaconf has stopped working: when I run it all I get is:
Code:
However, sound works just as good as it did before I noticed the problem. The issue is present both with the generic kernel and with any custom compiled one.
Here is some diagnostics with the custom compiled 2.6.37:

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.
Quote:
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
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 .

I'm trying to configure the following network card to work with a 1000Mbps switch:
Code:

I think the problem is the network card module. When I run

I'm using an external Cambridge Audio Dacmagic with F12 and Amarok. This worked great, until I upgraded Fedora this morning. The Dacmagic does not appear anymore in the Multimedia Audio Systems settings, only Pulseaudio is shown. However, in my hardware info widget, the Dacmagic does appear? This is shown as "C-media USB Headphone set". Now I'm totally lost. I did restart Fedora with the Dacmagic on, I did restart the Dacmagic with Fedora running, but nothing changed.Any good suggestions on what I can try next--- Post added at 04:47 PM CST ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM CST ----------Isn't the net fun? Poking around, I found I could try "lsusb". The output gives:

I been having a problem with default sound device. I have a TV card and use on-board audio. Every reboot the default soundcard switches between the two. I made an asound.conf in etc pointing to the on-board for Firefox to get sound, but since it keeps switching between the 2 devices I keep having no sound in Firefox. How can I set the on-board audio as default, and make it stick?

I installed Slackware 13.1 in a EEE PC 1001px. After the installation I had speaker sound but not using the headphones. Then I ran alsaconf and now I don't have any sound at all!!!
Alsamixer shows the channels: Master - Speaker - PCM - Mic Boost - Mic Boost - Capture.
What can I check to see why this is happening?

anyone tried to run wifi-card based on this chip? In coming days I will build myself a proprietary driver for 2.6.27.7 kernel. I mostly aware about patches for wpa_supplicant. Should I use a source for wpa_supplicant from slackware 12.2 distro or a new version? Do you know about any other prerequisities (requirements, dependencies) for building this proprietary driver?

So I bought a new wireless pci-e adapter today that has a realtek 8192CE chipset. I checked before I bought it and it is supported in the kernel since 2.6.38. Just to be safe I used the kernel-huge-2.6.39-rc4 config file from testing just to get it to work. All the kernel modules are loaded correctly and it is recognized by iwconfig, however wicd acts as if there is no wireless card in the system. I checked dmesg and saw this error.
rtl8192cu:loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
rtl8192cu:firmware loading failed
So I googled around and didn't find much except for somethings about needing firmware. I did make firmware_install but for some reason there is no rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin file. As a test I found an RPM that had the bin file I needed. I converted it to a tgz and ran explodepkg on it to extract the one file I needed. I made a directory /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and dropped the .bin file in and wicd immediately found my networks. So I guess it is a missing firmware issue, however I am currently not able to obtain and ip address. Why did the kernel not build the firmware I need, or is that something I have to download and build separately?

Well, at first I need to tell that after having big problems (audio, video, modem, network,...) with my venture into slack world at about 7 years ago, I thought that even with my insistence it would be hard to get used with it.
Around the middle of December last year I decided to try again and again I had face some problems (now with fdisk and GPT support in a 64 bit machine).
But now, at about a month after that, I need to say that having passed those initial problems with installation, not only I manage to learn a lot about linux in general (dependencies, rc. editing, permissions, groups...) as I am amazing to what Slackware became.
From 3D graphics acceleration in KDE (with an easy config for my video card, something I thought it would be impossible and that makes it by far better looking than any Windows Desktop fancy try), to great programs and suites integration like Amarok, OpenOffice, Ktorrent, THE firefox, and so many others all allied with the full control of the system (no automatic updates, no mysterious packages UNLESS I really allow it) not to tell g++, python and so on.
However, besides a raid 0 non readable partition, I am having a persistent problem with my wireless that always mix my pppoe connection when I try to config it via rc.inet1 (or rc.wireless ...).To better explain my situation I have a computer with Asus P5k-e/Wifi-AP with came with an integrated wireless device (Realtek RTL8187L).Also, the way I work out to connect to the internet was through (an ethernet) pppoe connection setup using pppoe-setup.Right now it is working like a charm after pppoe-start and stop commands.
At about a month, when i was starting my first steps to config my machine, I tried to follow [URL] three times, and in two of those I manage to start my wireless, but in all it mixed up with my pppoe connection and since either pppoe-config as pppoe-setup didn't work after that (even after backup the files) I had to reinstall the whole system. (Yes, I know that probably there is an workaround easier via shell or file editing, but since every time I need to restart in the Windows, search for solution on internet, print those I find, restart, and try in slackware again, I decided that reinstalling was the fast solution for me at that time.)Now, I am a bit more confident with my knowledge of the linux and decided to try to setup wireless again.
After an extensive search in the forum, I found out two major solutions: One pointing to alienwiki (with I really think is the best approach besides my previous experience) and other pointing to the proper realtek driver at [URL]As i am yet trying to decide which method use, I download the driver and it came with an strange file (RadioPower.sh) that are called by wlan0up. Below are both files:
wlan0up:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
SYSTEM=`uname -r|cut -d. -f1,2`
if [ $SYSTEM = 2.4 ]
then
cd ieee80211

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.

an old Compaq Presario 8000, which I reluctantly took, as I tend to end up with more computers than I use and more or less end up acting as a disposal agent. It's a 2.4Ghz machine, which will suffice for whatever I felt like installing on it.I have a generic wifi pci card with a Realtek RTL8185 chipset in it, which I never used and thought I'd set up that computer with it. Hadn't installed Slackware 13 on anything, and it's a distro I like so I went at it.Install went well, no problems there, but I've used Slackware for about 9 years so I'm readily familiar with that end o' things.
I found the rtl8180 module to be causing problems. It would load on boot, but wouldn't bring up a wireless interface. I was able to remove the module with 'rmmod rtl8180' well enough, but when I would load it again with 'modprobe rtl8180', the system would lock. Tried that a few times, same result. I ran across mention of a driver on Realtek's web site, so I downloaded and installed it. That one is identified as 'r8180'. I added 'rtl8180' to the module blacklist to prevent it from being loaded at boot, and proceeded to set up wpa_supplicant.conf for my WPA-PSK connection. Came up without a hitch.The connection is stable thus far, with a respectable link quality. The Realtek driver can be found here.I thought I might document my solution here in case someone else runs across the same issue that I experienced.I'm thinking of slapping another wireless NIC in that computer, or perhaps testing with multihoming possibly. This computer will probably end up as an AP for relaying my wireless traffic to an AP downstairs. I have one USB NIC (Alfa AWUS036S)with a 5dB antenna that has a strong signal, but the ones of more a common variety could use a little help

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 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.

i tried following the readme file included in the driver of the usb network adapter but seems its not exact.
any ideas on how i can configure it manually? KDE does not detect any wifi device. .(of course since no driver is installed yet).
i used my desktop (win***)with DSL connection and installed the driver of the usb net adapter.. made it as the access point. . so my laptop detects the desktop as wifi spot.

I have to deal with a fairly psychopathic and untrustworthy person who is unfortunately the company's computer security expert, who is also an admitted hacker. I recently installed Slackware to prevent him from spying on my basic activities, deleting my windows and moving my mouse pointer, as he did when I had Windows on my PC. However I now need to make sure he isn't going to do the same with my Slackware installation. Other than reinstalling Slackware periodically, what can I do to detect spyware like a keylogger, or to detect that he has rootkitted commonly used parts of the distro to provide a backdoor etc? BTW I've never considered encrypted a hard drive but now that I'm dealing with this idiot I would be open to that.

I just received a USB Rocket Launcher as a gift today... However, I'm sure she didn't intend for me to have more fun setting it up than using it. I have found something called pyrocket, but I'm having a hell of a time getting it to actually work. After installation, it started fussing about dependencies so I managed to get most of them installed. One dependency, however, I can't get it to detect at all. It spits out this (concerning OpenCV):

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'm setting up an ubunutu server (tomcat, mysql etc) which has been going very smoothly I must say. I plan to do manual updates over ssh using "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" but I believe sometimes these update will need a complete machine: how can I tell if I need to reboot the server after an update _using the command line_?
