Re: Alsa 1.0.13 (and others) does not work on ALC880

["E.D.V." <erdv38@gmail.com>]

Dear Tobin, here are infos about my system.

I tried all the models for ALC880 with the same result for aplay command :

eric@gondor:~$ aplay
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:550: Erreur d'ouverture audio: Argument invalide

and the resulting in /var/log/messages (alsa-driver compiled with
debugging activated)

The result of  alsa-info.sh is on http://pastebin.ca/488975 *
* The results of the following command in alsa-info.sh
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec\#* > /tmp/alsainfo/alsa-hda-intel.tmp 2>
/dev/null
give  a lot of similar lines in /var/log/messages  like the one below

Comment :

What is strange is that alsa-driver worked well before, I used it
without problems with Ubuntu Breezy (I don't remember the alsa or
kernel version but kernel was about 2.6.12 - 2.6.14). The problem
appeared when upgrading to dapper and edgy (2.6.15-2.6.17) and
alsa-driver only worked when I self-compiled it with debugging
enabled, though giving the same kind of messages in /var/log/messages
as given above . If it was disabled it gave the same result "ALSA lib
pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave". And now EVEN
with debugging enabled it does not work ....
