No Sound With Suse 10.1 Using Device CM8738/C3DX PCI
Last modified: 2007-08-11 16:40:17 UTC
I am running 10.1 in parallel with an Suse 9.3 Installation. With Suse 9.3 sound works fine. With Suse 10.1 I was not able to get any sound out of my speakers. The error looks similar to bug 127738 (Suse 10.0) however none of the described work arounds made any difference. Installation with yast does not show any error message however the test button does not deliver any sound. I tried alsaconf and alsamixer as well. Messages show succesful restart of the sound driver but there wasn`t any success either. Please find some information below: hwinfo --sound: 14: PCI 0b.0: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.300] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_13f6_111 Unique ID: gZD2.leFtcOMtGx0 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:0b.0 Hardware Class: sound Model: "C-Media Electronics CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device" Vendor: pci 0x13f6 "C-Media Electronics Inc" Device: pci 0x0111 "CM8738" SubVendor: pci 0x13f6 "C-Media Electronics Inc" SubDevice: pci 0x0111 "CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device" Revision: 0x10 Driver: "C-Media PCI" I/O Ports: 0xe400-0xe4ff (rw) IRQ: 185 (468 events) Module Alias: "pci:v000013F6d00000111sv000013F6sd00000111bc04sc01i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: cmpci is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe cmpci" Driver Info #1: Driver Status: snd_cmipci is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe snd_cmipci" Config Status: cfg=yes, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown File: hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:00:0b.0 MODULE='snd-cmipci' STARTMODE='auto' file: hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:00:0b.0 MODULE='via-rhine' MODULE_OPTIONS='' STARTMODE='auto' file: modprobe.d/sound options snd-cmipci enable=1 index=0 # gZD2.leFtcOMtGx0:CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci Thanks for your help
this is actually, a duplicated of that bug. however..did you tried comment #8 of this report, that should work.. why ? because that "cheap" cards are really really common, and drivers are available, vendor is linux friendly. and are even listed in the vendor's page., *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 127738 ***
I did try comment #8 but nothing happened. I deleted /etc/modprobe.d/sound and rebooted. The card is still shown on yast but needs to be configured. Configuration seems to be successful but the test button does not deliver any sound. Is there any dependancy with KDE Sound system? KDE settings show: Sound system deactivated. My system has an additional on board sound system (AC97) but due to bad experiences in the past I disabled it in BIOS leaving only the PCI-Card active.
I would still be pleased to get help ...

Does this bug appear on 10.2 (or better 10.3-alpha) ?
