Description Yasha Gindikin 2005-12-01 22:31:22 UTC

There is no sound in Suse 10.0 x86_64.
The platform is: mb giga-byte k8vnxp (754 socket), via vt8237 south bridge,
Realtek ALC658 Audio AC'97 Codec, athlon64 3400+, 1Gb DDR400.
The sound card is set in Yast as the sound card #0.

The driver #1 is seen to be active. However, there is no sound.
When I try to make a 'test sound' in KDE control center, I get the message
"the sound system is restarted" and then "cpu overload", but no sound.
I tried alsaconf, but it does not play a sound too.

Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2005-12-02 16:07:29 UTC

Please run "aplay -vv somefile.wav" and see whether the VU meter proceeds.
If it stops at the beginning, it's likely a problem with IRQ routing.  OTOH, if it proceeds but you don't hear any sound, it's often a mixer set up problem.

Comment 2 Yasha Gindikin 2005-12-07 20:03:47 UTC

It proceeds but I do not hear any sound.

All channels in alsamix are active and set to maxima. Anyway, there exist problems in the system. If I hit 'test sound' in KDE control center, the computer hangs for a while, then I get
"sound server fatal error
cpu overload, aborting"
Upgrading to 2.6.15 rc5 version of the kernel did not change the situation.

Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2005-12-12 17:45:21 UTC

Please attach /etc/asound.state and /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files.  It might be a typical mixer problem (except for arts thing).

BTW, you don't have to use arts any more since the software mixing is enabled as default on ALSA.  Turn off "sound server" on kde control center.

Comment 5 Yasha Gindikin 2005-12-14 18:11:08 UTC

Directory /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ contains two files,
ac97#0-0 AND ac97#0-0+regs
Both are empty, 0 Bytes.

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2005-12-14 18:13:26 UTC

Did you try "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/*" ??  They are proc files, after all.

Comment 7 Takashi Iwai 2005-12-14 18:15:13 UTC

Raise all "VIA DXS" volumes on alsamixer.  It's strange why they are zero.  They are all 100% as default...

Comment 8 Yasha Gindikin 2005-12-22 18:30:40 UTC

Ok, I disabled "sound server" on kde control center, reconfigured the card via Yast. cat /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* gives:

Still no sound:(

Comment 9 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-11 16:29:25 UTC

I don't see any problems in the mixer and codec settings, so I have no idea what's wrong.

To be sure: do you connect the jack correctly to speakers or a headphone (i.e. a green jack as analog output)?

Comment 10 Yasha Gindikin 2006-01-12 20:10:44 UTC

Yes, the jack was connected correctly. This can be controlled in two ways, since sound is ok in i) windows 2003 on the same machine, ii) in linux when booting from live-cd (knoppix 4.0 and ubuntu 5.10). However, there was no sound in SuSe 10.

Actually, I changed the platform to resolve this issue, now I've got MSI K8N Neo4-FI Socket 939, RealTek ALC850 7.1 audio. The sound system works fine on this platform, SuSe 10.0 x86_64. Unfortunately, this also means I can no longer test the system for which the bug was reported. Still I believe that it was the real problem rather then incorrect jack connection.

Comment 11 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-19 14:32:46 UTC

Hmm, then I close this bug since it's impossible to debug futher this issue.
Please open another one if you encounter a similar problem.
