Running RC6, I believe, on a Dell Dimension E520. I have a cheap CMedia relatively generic low-end sound card, that has been working right along. Until this morning. Last night watching U-tube videos, sound worked fine; this morning nothing. Haven't changed anything as far as I know.
Onboard sound is disabled in the bios. CMedia cound card is seated properly. I ran the commands in the "sticky" post about sound cards, without finding a solution. My sound card is detected. Alsamixer says nothing is muted (except a bunch of ICE958 stuff that I don't know what it is, and the 3D control). Volumes all up. Reconfiguring sound card with alsaconf didn't help.
I tried plugging in a cheap USB sound card I had sitting around. It didn't work either. Of course, I don't know what else has to be done with those to set them up; I just plugged it in and tried it, first with PCI sound card still in place, and then without; no luck either way.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. |

I guess it would have worked, just USB was not the first device. You see that using
cat /proc/asound/cards
Btw. when you join IRC you could get an update. |

My little USB sound card is currently plugged into a USB port. Speakers are not plugged into it.
Code:
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CMI8738MC8 ]: CMI8738-MC8 - C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC8
C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC8 (model 68) at 0xdc00, irq 23
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$
I also tried this command, which I found on an ubuntu forum:
Code:
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$ asoundconf list
Names of available sound cards:
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$
Regarding IRC: an update of what?
Thanks.

What do I have to do to make a USB sound card work? For example, do I need to remove the PCI sound card? Or anything else? Thanks. |

Well you dont have to remove, but when you don't show the outputs i want to see nobody can you help. There are 2 ways to sort order (using .asoundrc or option to snd module). I need (before you run alsaconf or whatever):
cat /proc/asound/{cards,modules} |

The usb sound card is plugged into a usb port when I do this:
Code:
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$ cat /proc/asound/{cards,modules}
0 [CMI8738MC8 ]: CMI8738-MC8 - C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC8
C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC8 (model 68) at 0xdc00, irq 23
0 snd_cmipci

You ran alsaconf before, that unloads usb module. Reattach usb. |

The last time I ran alsaconf was several days ago. I turn off the computer each night. The code I posted above was after getting usb sound card out of the drawer and plugging it in and waiting a couple minutes. |

I could send you a video file of me doing it, if you'd like. Or perhaps you would like to come visit and try it yourself? Love to have you.
I can assure you this is exactly what happened. Just did it again, and got the same result. |
