Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

OK, I attached /etc/asound.state.  Thank you very much for looking into
this problem.

Please, don't mix up bugs on different systems.  Rather create a new bug
report for a different board.  We can mark them as duplicated once after
we find they are really identical.

(Both of you have different AC97 codec chips, so the culprit could be also
different in a high probability...)

OK, here's another data point.

I recently got a Panasonic Y2 in addition to the Panasonic T2 that I was
using when reporting this bug.  As far as I know, the hardware related to
sound in these two laptops is essentially the same.

I discovered that I could get sound to work with the Panasonic Y2 if I did
the following:

* Booted to Windows XP
* Turned the Windows XP volume control to its highest setting
* Muted sound in Windows XP (which is how I usually keep sound in Windows
XP)

Now if I boot Linux with ALSA 1.0.6 (the stock alsa with Fedora Core 3), I
can adjust the sound volumes using alsamixer, and everything works.  I can
play musing using xmms with either the ALSA or OSS plugins, and this also
works (although the volume slider in xmms does not work, not sure why, I
have to use alsamixer or aumix to adjust sound volume).  Also, the
speakers work.

Thus I am convinced that the problem is that the ALSA driver for this
hardware is for some reason not able to adjust the volume beyond some
maximum value which was set by the BIOS, as remembered by the most recent
Windows XP setting.

Does this help at all?

Thanks!

Any improvement with later releases?  ALSA 1.0.6 is way too old to debug.

Oh, I should mention that previously I had been using Debian unstable and
the sound worked perfectly.  I believe that the kernel version was 2.6.8
or 2.6.9 (unfortunately I have blown away that installation and can't get
any information from it).

It's likely a mixer issue.  Could you attach /etc/asound.state?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 bji - 11-24-04 12:33 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, I attached /etc/asound.state.  Thank you very much for looking into
this problem.

Please, don't mix up bugs on different systems.  Rather create a new bug
report for a different board.  We can mark them as duplicated once after
we find they are really identical.

(Both of you have different AC97 codec chips, so the culprit could be also
different in a high probability...)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, didn't know that. 

I was too happy (sort of) because somebody else had the same problem,
under the same conditions. That's why I reported here. (I tried cleaning
up a bit the Bug report page, but I couldn't remove my attachments).

New bug @ https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=674

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 tiwai - 11-24-04 14:57 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks.

The problem in this bug seems that some missing codec setup for STAC9752. 
Needs a more deeper look at the datasheet.

Hi there, is there anything that I can to do help diagnose and fix this
problem?  Let me know if there is.  I think I'll start by trying older
ALSA versions; like I said in my original report, my Debain Sarge install
had ALSA working with this laptop and maybe it was using an older version
of ALSA.  Thank you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 bji - 11-28-04 06:04 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I could not get older versions of ALSA drivers to compile with kernel
2.6.9.  The oldest that I successfully got to compile was 1.0.4.  It did
not fix the problem, nor did 1.0.5.

Please let me know if there is something else I should try to diagnose
this problem.  Thanks!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 tiwai - 11-29-04 17:19 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Could you try the patch stac9752.diff and change values in "Headphone Pin"
and "Line-Out Pin" controls?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 bji - 11-30-04 08:56 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, the patch did not fix the problem.  I applied the patch by
running the following commands:

cd ~/alsa-driver-1.0.7/alsa-kernel
patch -p1 < ~/stac9752a.diff
cd ~/alsa-driver-1.0.7
make
make install

This patched, built and installed new snd-ac97-codec.ko and
snd-ak4531-codec.ko modiles.  However, when I modprobe -r the old versions
and modprobe the new versions, I still received no sound from the built-in
speaker or the headphone jack.

I also ran alsamixer and played with the settings there, especially the
headphone and the line out settings.  No changes to these values had any
effect.

Is there something else I can try :(

Thank you for taking the time to try to solve this problem, I really do
appreciate it!

One thing you can check is to set the capture source as 'Mix', and record
the sound during playback PCM at the same time.  In this way, at least you
can see whether the PCM is processed correctly in the AC97 codec (e.g. you
can see waves in a sound editor).

If the signal is processed properly in the chip, it's a problem of some
missing configuration for the HP or Line-Out jacks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 bji - 12-02-04 06:37 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I apologize, but I am not very familiar with recording sound under Linux. 
I am running Fedora Core 3 without Gnome or KDE, and I don't know of any
sound recorder that I can use.  Can you please give some hints about what
I need to do to record sound from the PCM during playback at the same
time?  Can I do this using a command line tool?

I tried using arecord while playing a song using xmms but the resulting
file did not show any waves in the graphical xmms display when I played
it.

I also tried using arecord while playing a .wav file repeatedly using
aplay, but the resulting file also did not show any waves in the graphical
xmms display when I played it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 tiwai - 12-02-04 19:20 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget to choose 'Mix' as the capture source, and raise 'Capture
Volume', turn on 'Capture Switch', too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have the same intel system and run Fedora core.
It seems you must set the "external amplifier" to mute in in the mixer
control and then it works.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 bji - 12-09-04 07:06 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately muting "external amplifier" via
alsamixer does not fix the problem.

I apologize but I still don't know how to run the record test that you
(tiwai) are suggesting.  I don't know what program to run to do the audio
recording.  Can you please suggest a program.  Thank you!

OK, here's another data point.

I recently got a Panasonic Y2 in addition to the Panasonic T2 that I was
using when reporting this bug.  As far as I know, the hardware related to
sound in these two laptops is essentially the same.

I discovered that I could get sound to work with the Panasonic Y2 if I did
the following:

* Booted to Windows XP
* Turned the Windows XP volume control to its highest setting
* Muted sound in Windows XP (which is how I usually keep sound in Windows
XP)

Now if I boot Linux with ALSA 1.0.6 (the stock alsa with Fedora Core 3), I
can adjust the sound volumes using alsamixer, and everything works.  I can
play musing using xmms with either the ALSA or OSS plugins, and this also
works (although the volume slider in xmms does not work, not sure why, I
have to use alsamixer or aumix to adjust sound volume).  Also, the
speakers work.

Thus I am convinced that the problem is that the ALSA driver for this
hardware is for some reason not able to adjust the volume beyond some
maximum value which was set by the BIOS, as remembered by the most recent
Windows XP setting.

Does this help at all?

Thanks!

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

I have the same intel system and run Fedora core.
It seems you must set the "external amplifier" to mute in in the mixer
control and then it works.

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately muting "external amplifier" via
alsamixer does not fix the problem.

I apologize but I still don't know how to run the record test that you
(tiwai) are suggesting.  I don't know what program to run to do the audio
recording.  Can you please suggest a program.  Thank you!

Don't forget to choose 'Mix' as the capture source, and raise 'Capture
Volume', turn on 'Capture Switch', too.

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

I apologize, but I am not very familiar with recording sound under Linux. 
I am running Fedora Core 3 without Gnome or KDE, and I don't know of any
sound recorder that I can use.  Can you please give some hints about what
I need to do to record sound from the PCM during playback at the same
time?  Can I do this using a command line tool?

I tried using arecord while playing a song using xmms but the resulting
file did not show any waves in the graphical xmms display when I played
it.

I also tried using arecord while playing a .wav file repeatedly using
aplay, but the resulting file also did not show any waves in the graphical
xmms display when I played it.

Don't forget to choose 'Mix' as the capture source, and raise 'Capture
Volume', turn on 'Capture Switch', too.

One thing you can check is to set the capture source as 'Mix', and record
the sound during playback PCM at the same time.  In this way, at least you
can see whether the PCM is processed correctly in the AC97 codec (e.g. you
can see waves in a sound editor).

If the signal is processed properly in the chip, it's a problem of some
missing configuration for the HP or Line-Out jacks.

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

Unfortunately, the patch did not fix the problem.  I applied the patch by
running the following commands:

cd ~/alsa-driver-1.0.7/alsa-kernel
patch -p1 < ~/stac9752a.diff
cd ~/alsa-driver-1.0.7
make
make install

This patched, built and installed new snd-ac97-codec.ko and
snd-ak4531-codec.ko modiles.  However, when I modprobe -r the old versions
and modprobe the new versions, I still received no sound from the built-in
speaker or the headphone jack.

I also ran alsamixer and played with the settings there, especially the
headphone and the line out settings.  No changes to these values had any
effect.

Is there something else I can try :(

Thank you for taking the time to try to solve this problem, I really do
appreciate it!

One thing you can check is to set the capture source as 'Mix', and record
the sound during playback PCM at the same time.  In this way, at least you
can see whether the PCM is processed correctly in the AC97 codec (e.g. you
can see waves in a sound editor).

If the signal is processed properly in the chip, it's a problem of some
missing configuration for the HP or Line-Out jacks.

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I could not get older versions of ALSA drivers to compile with kernel
2.6.9.  The oldest that I successfully got to compile was 1.0.4.  It did
not fix the problem, nor did 1.0.5.

Please let me know if there is something else I should try to diagnose
this problem.  Thanks!

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

Hi there, is there anything that I can to do help diagnose and fix this
problem?  Let me know if there is.  I think I'll start by trying older
ALSA versions; like I said in my original report, my Debain Sarge install
had ALSA working with this laptop and maybe it was using an older version
of ALSA.  Thank you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 bji - 11-28-04 06:04 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I could not get older versions of ALSA drivers to compile with kernel
2.6.9.  The oldest that I successfully got to compile was 1.0.4.  It did
not fix the problem, nor did 1.0.5.

Please let me know if there is something else I should try to diagnose
this problem.  Thanks!

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

Thanks.

The problem in this bug seems that some missing codec setup for STAC9752. 
Needs a more deeper look at the datasheet.

Is there something I can do to help?  Thanks!

Sorry, didn't know that. 

I was too happy (sort of) because somebody else had the same problem,
under the same conditions. That's why I reported here. (I tried cleaning
up a bit the Bug report page, but I couldn't remove my attachments).

Please, don't mix up bugs on different systems.  Rather create a new bug
report for a different board.  We can mark them as duplicated once after
we find they are really identical.

(Both of you have different AC97 codec chips, so the culprit could be also
different in a high probability...)

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

Oh, I just remembered something.

When I used alsa (cs64xx, AFAIK) on another computer, having the speakers
made loud, I could hear some kind of "power on" noise (difficult to
characterise) when the modules were loaded (the noise was similar to the
one made when pluggin the speakers in the speakers jack in the sound
card).

I couldn't hear anything though on this configuration - I don't know if I
should consider this a feature or a bug...

OK, I attached /etc/asound.state.  Thank you very much for looking into
this problem.

I've been fighting all day with my card to make it work and I came to this
place now. It seems somebody else encontered the same problem as I did.

Distro: ArchLinux (http://www.archlinux.org)
ALSA: 1.0.7

# lspci | grep audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R)

First, I need to mention that I can play sounds (progress bars moving,
equalizers etc), but I can't hear the sounds.

I will attach some files that describe my current configuration - I hope
it gets fixed soon.

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

It's likely a mixer issue.  Could you attach /etc/asound.state?

I've been fighting all day with my card to make it work and I came to this
place now. It seems somebody else encontered the same problem as I did.

Distro: ArchLinux (http://www.archlinux.org)
ALSA: 1.0.7
(http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?s_repo=all&s_category=all&s_keyword=alsa&s_lastupdate=&pp=50)
Motherboard: GigaByte 8IK1100
Chipset: ALC655 (in the docs>
http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-8IK1100.htm),
detected as ALC658 rev 0 by ALSA

# lspci | grep audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R)
AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

First, I need to mention that I can play sounds (progress bars moving,
equalizers etc), but I can't hear the sounds.

I will attach some files that describe my current configuration - I hope
it gets fixed soon.

Summary:                    No sound output  despite unmuting and maximizing all
volume settings
Description: 
I get no sound output from any program I have tried (xmms, play, aplay, cat
> /dev/audio) with no error messages or any other indication that there is
a problem which would cause sound to not occur.

I have already run alsamixer many times and tried every combination of
muted and unmuted settings with all volumes maximized.  With no volume
settings muted, and all volume settings at maximum level, I still get no
sound.

Everything *looks* like it's working - output in the kernel log, xmms's
display, everything.  But I get no sound out of the built-in speaker or
the headphone jack.

I have tried the following:

* Default install of Fedora Core 3; it recognized the sound card and
installed module settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to load snd-intel8x0.  But
I never got any sound out of this default install no matter what I tried.

* Custom compiled the 2.6.9 kernel with no patches except the software
suspend 2 patch.  This built the version of the ALSA drivers that come
with 2.6.9.  Still no sound.

* Downloaded and compiled version 1.0.7 of the ALSA drivers and installed
them.  Still no sound.

Oh, I should mention that previously I had been using Debian unstable and
the sound worked perfectly.  I believe that the kernel version was 2.6.8
or 2.6.9 (unfortunately I have blown away that installation and can't get
any information from it).

remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
