no sound

I can't get any sound at all on any linux distros (live or installed)
that I tried.
alsamixer and alsactl seem to be working
my
# cat /proc/asound/cards
outputs this
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xdf300000 irq 11
Whenever I try listen to a sound file, the application
(amarok, k3b, ...) I use remain silent and
doesn't display an error message
I have an hp pavilion dv4-1199ef laptop (purchased
in March 2009).
I have no clue on what might be the reason for this
(alsa, kernel, ...?)

Are you sure that your sound card is working?0

I had this exact same issue in Debian before. Remove your libesd0 and install libesd-ALSA0 instead. That solved it for me right away.
Luck.

nice one friend eric, you solve my problem without asking heheheh,
Thanks,0 -
Glad that worked for you, Arben!0
-
i already forgot to ask that question hehehe.
thanks, also to vonbiber for asking about sound problem0 -
It's working on my vista partition.0
-
That has nothing to do with it. Your Vista is an entirely different operating system from your Linux installation. When you boot into Linux, Vista doesn't exist, as far as your computer is concerned.
What distribution of Linux are you running? How new are you to this stuff? If very new, I'll take extra care trying to explain to you how to change those library files that I mentioned in my post above.0 -
I meant the hardware is working
I'm an intermediate user. I'm comfortable with the console,
the shell, (re)building the kernel, etc.
the hda intel is built in the kernel (not as a module)
I use slackware 12.2
my laptop is very recent: hp pavilion dv4-1199ef0 -
Ah! OK. I see what you mean.
Have you made any progress? Do you have system sounds: startup, shutdown, error, etc.?0 -
I do get the beep (that I turn off because I find it annoying)
other than that nothing
in kde even when I turn the notification system sounds
there's nothing either0 -
OK, system beep is part of your hardware on your mobo. It has nothing to do with your audio in your operating system. It looks to me like you have NO audio whatsoever in your operating system right now.
From the command line as root:# alsaconf
Follow the steps, reboot. Let me know if you have sound.0 -
# alsaconf
displays this message
no supported PnP or PCI card found
and yet, when I run this
# lspci | grep -i audio
it displays this
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
I noticed that slackware uses a
/etc/rc.d/rc.alsa
I know that it's run at boot time (it's in mod+x) and I don't
get any error messages in dmesg0 -
Try this
> modprobe snd-hda-intel
If there is not this module, see config kernel
>cat /boot/config-bla-bla-bla | grep CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL0 -
my snd_hda_intel was built in the kernel, and not as
a module
but even when it's built as a module (which I did with
the last kernel I built---linux-2.6.29.4) it's still not working
and the lsmod does display all the sound modules
given the number of posts I saw elsewhere I think there's
an issue with this card
so I keep trying to build new kernels, hoping that eventually
someone'll come with a fix0 -
Good. When you do so. Know output
>modinfo snd-hda-intel
There is lot a parametrs.
parm: index:Index value for Intel HD audio interface. (array of int)
parm: id:ID string for Intel HD audio interface. (array of charp)
parm: enable:Enable Intel HD audio interface. (array of bool)
parm: model:Use the given board model. (array of charp)
parm: position_fix:Fix DMA pointer (0 = auto, 1 = none, 2 = POSBUF). (array of int)
parm: bdl_pos_adj:BDL position adjustment offset. (array of int)
parm: probe_mask:Bitmask to probe codecs (default = -1). (array of int)
parm: single_cmd:Use single command to communicate with codecs (for debugging only). (bool)
parm: enable_msi:Enable Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) (int)0 -
Fedora seems to work without any issues0

It is not uncommon for the ALSA sound system to have one of the required output volume levels, such as PCM, set to 0. Start up your sound mixer and check for this situation. The result of this issue is no sound. I had the same problem on my CentOS system originally and only with some futzing with the mixer figured this out. Subsequently, I have read posts in linuxforums.org from many other people with the same problem.0
-
I just checked with alsamixer
my pcm level is not set at 0 (it's set at 71)
one weird thing I noticed is that the sound card uses
a certain irq on my installed slackware
and another one on my live slax linux
here's the 2nd line of 'cat /proc/asound/cards'
from slackware;
HDA Intel at 0xdf300000 irq 11
and from slax:
HDA Intel at 0xdf300000 irq 220 -
I'm late to this thread, but what is the model of your machine? You might need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add in an option for your card.
For example, my laptop needed the following option (which probably won't be the same as what you need):options snd-hda-intel model=mitac probe_mask=1
Whereas my cousin's laptop (a Toshiba Satellite Pro) needed this line:options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
Hope this puts you on the right track.

I have an hp laptop
hp pavilion dv4-1199ef
I already wrote an /etc/modprobe.d
where I tried different values for model
based on what I read in the
/Documentation/sound/alsa/HDA-models.txt (or something like
this) in my kernel source tree, and that'd could fit for an hp
laptop
the latest I tried was model=laptop
it seems the alsa files in linux-2.6.29.4 are not up to date with
the latest alsa (1.20) because in the alsa docs from the
latest version I dowloaded there were some other models
not listed above, such hp-dv5 (which might cover the
hp dv4 series)0 -
