ALSA 0.9.3+ is not working

ALSA 0.9.3+ is not working

[David van Hoose]

Hello.

Sound card is onboard SiS7012 AC'97 (CMI9739A)
Running kernel 2.4.21-rc6 and 2.5.70-bk6.

ALSA History for 2.4.x:
0.9.2 works perfectly.
0.9.3 locks up. Unusable.
0.9.3a Sound through CD-ROM (Plays CDs) No sound through OSS apps. 
0.9.3b Sound through CD-ROM (Plays CDs) No sound through OSS apps.
0.9.3c Sound through CD-ROM (Plays CDs) No sound through OSS apps.
0.9.4 Sound through CD-ROM (Plays CDs) No sound through OSS apps.

I have had the same problem with no sound in OSS apps under the last few 
2.5.x kernels as well.

I've configured '--with-debug=full', but the only line I ever get is the 
load line for the intel8x0 clocking at 48000.
Can someone please work with me here to figure out why this problem is 
occuring? As I have 0.9.2 working under 2.4.21-rc6, I'm assuming I have 
something set up right. If the setup has changed, then tell me what I 
need to do to fix this. I've seen no documentation changes.

Thank you,
David

Does playing sounds with aplay work?

As far as I can tell no.
It acts like it plays the wave file I chose, but I get no sound. I went 
into alsamixer and turned up every channel too.

Thanks,

Just noticed the following lines in my /var/log/messages. Maybe they'll 
help.

ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:215: Unexpected hw_pointer value 
(stream = 0, delta: -1105, max jitter = 4456): wrong interrupt acknowledge?
ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:215: Unexpected hw_pointer value

ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:156: Unexpected hw_pointer value 
(stream = 0, delta: -1114, max jitter = 4456): wrong interrupt acknowledge?

The messages seem to come in groups.

I also found this in another messages file. I think from 2.5.70-bk6.
Jun  1 17:08:02 aeon kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:143: 
BUG: stream = 1, pos = 0x22d0, buffer size = 0x22d0, period size = 0x45a

Thanks,
David

Did you unmute every channel, too?
Did you try the other output jacks? (many motherboards exchange the line
out and headphone jacks because the headphone output is the only one with
an amplifier)

I never muted any of them. Also 0.9.2 works. Using it now in fact. My 
motherboard does not exchange jacks.

please try the cvs version.  perhaps the pcm playback is muted but no
control was available for c-media chips (it was removed mistakenly).
right now i added it back.

This worked. Thank you. What files would I need to rip a patch from if I 
need to patch 0.9.4?

Thanks again,
David

thanks for confirmation.

alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c is the one.
