Hardware - Soundcard Not Working StevenX - 11.09.2006, 22:50 Uhr Titel: Soundcard Not Working
Hello. My soundcard is not working. Hopefully we can get it fixed. I don't know what commands to run to figure out what is wrong, but here is what my soundcard is according to alsaconf: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC '97.
I ran alsaconf and messed around with alsamixer. I also downloaded the **censored** as well as **censored**. Still, I cannot get mp3s to play and have no other sound.
Any help would be great guys.
Thanks.

There is a post on just this subject right here in the hardware forum that should get you started. Post some error messages if you have any.

Thanks. That post wsa very helpful. Well, it seems like my sound card was detected and I turend off the sound system, now I get this:
sleiva@ToshibaKan:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/startup.ogg
Time: 00:00.37 [00:01.49] of 00:01.86 ( 20.0%) Output Buffer: 16.38K
So I guess it's playing. However, I hear no sound.

What does
Code:
cat /proc/asound/cards
say?
It really looks like you have the mixer muted or a volume turned down.

I used alsamixer as well as kmix. Nothing seems muted.

I have seen other users with this same ICH6 chipset having similar issues. I do not know what the fix is nor did anyone in #kanotix at the time I asked. Please post the output of
Code:
lsmod | grep snd

try turning off the audio in the kde control center ( under sound and multimedia then sound system )
reboot and them check kmixer
I then get a choice of the cx88 and the nvidia driver in kmixer ( i still get audio for tv viewing and mp3 playback)
goodluck

Dave,
Thanks for the suggestion but I had already turned off arts in kcontrol.
