This has been my problem quite long time now. I have upgraded my kernel from 2.6.8 to 2.6.15.4 with some steps bitween those versions, and the problem is still here. I have tried some live-cds with same results as my stable system. Analog stereo output works with no problems. If someone did tell me what I should test on my system so that I could give the results to you. These aren't broken: * my external amplifier * the digital coaxial cable * speakers etc. Please tell me at least what to do, what to search for, or something... ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SamiH - 04-13-06 21:26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry about that incomplete post, hopefully this tells something to you. In alsa.txt is my alsactl output. The programs I have used: aplay, xmms, xine, speaker-test I have tested different mixer values, sometimes in order, sometimes random. But now I tested with speaker-test. (I tested with two channels only, because if two works, maybe the other 3 would work...) * speaker-test -c 2 -Dhw:0,0,[12] -> only analog stereo * speaker-test -c 2 -Dhw:0,0,3 -r 44100 -> no sound, but plays (44100 was the first samplerate I tried after it said: "Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument Rate 48000Hz not available for playback: Invalid argument) * speaker-test -c 2 -Dhw:0,0,[4567] -> Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy * speaker-test -c 2 -Dhw:0,1,0 -> only analog stereo * speaker-test -c 2 -Dhw:0,1,[12] -> Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy ----- aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 0: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237] Subdevices: 4/4 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 1: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 04-20-06 15:22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't ever use hw unless you know what you're doing.
