Description Timur Mehrvarz 2005-12-16 16:41:07 UTC

I just installed SUSE 10.0 on a Asus P4C800 Delux mobo (new installation).
Although Yast2 recognize the audio board (as ASUS P4C800), audio is not working at all (meaning no wav play, no mp3, no audio in mpeg, no audio in qtime video, etc). Also testing feature in Yast2 does not produce sound.

Previously audio on Suse 9.3 was working perfectly and still does when I boot the same PC with XP.

I tried to set the "buggy" thing on 1 instead of 0 but same result.

Same results using alsasound (at init 3 level): no sound!

kmix settings are OK and same for alsactl (meaning volume is not 0)

suggestions?

additional input: aplay -vv output

I tested the audio capabilities using aaplay, but no success: for aplay audio seems to work properly but no sound.

Attached the output of aplay --v sound_name.wav

Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-03 20:13:04 UTC

If aplay went throught, the problem is likely in the mixer configuration.
Please attach /etc/asound.state for more debugging.  The points to be checked are:
- unmute and raise 'Master', 'Headphone' and 'PCM' volumes
- turn on 'External Amplifier' switch
- turn off 'Line Jack Sense' and 'Headphone Jack Sense' switches

asound file as requested

Requested file attached after checking with kmix and yast 

- unmute and raise 'Master', 'Headphone' and 'PCM' volumes
- turn on 'External Amplifier' switch
- turn off 'Line Jack Sense' and 'Headphone Jack Sense' switches

Comment 5 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-19 14:29:23 UTC

Make sure that you reall did all above.  Then run "alsactl -f asound.state store", and attach the new file again.
Also, turn on 'Exchange Front/Surround' switch off, too.

Comment 6 Timur Mehrvarz 2006-01-23 12:37:31 UTC

I dunno if it was Exchange Front/Surround switch but now audio is working once again. Thanks for your help!
