Description: With options "Line-In as surround" and "Duplicate front" the right surround speaker is not working, while others are functional. After uninstalling ALSA 1.0.8 and installing againg ALSA 1.0.7 with the same mixer configuration the error is not occures. SoundCard: nForce2 Audio Codec, Driver: snd-intel8x0, 4 speakers. p.s. sorry for my English. ====================================================================== Relationships ID Summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- has duplicate 0000902 Some channels not working ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 01-25-05 15:18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The combination of "Line-In As Surround" and "Duplicate Front" is already weird. Attach /etc/asound.state and /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files for debugging. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ivantheviking - 01-28-05 08:30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I too have the same problem with my Nvidia CK8 based sound card, and have uploaded the requested files. I am running Gentoo Linux with 2.6.10 kernel, and alsa 1.0.8 My LFE and Centers are reversed, along with the right rear missing. Everything surround (that is not the LF and RF) are also alot softer. I have full 5.1 with 1.0.6 that is in the kernel I am running, except it is still mixed way too softly. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ivantheviking - 03-02-05 01:19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- One more thing I think I have *found* using speaker test. Under both 1.0.8 and 1.0.6 the LFE/CENTER and Rear Surround jacks seem to be swapped. Oddly enough in 1.0.6 Doom3 has correct surround, while in 1.0.8 it doesn't work correctly. Correction : 1.0.6 isn't correct either. I only noticed that I was using the OSS analog 5.1 from doom3, not the alsa. Even with 1.0.6 alsa surround doesn't work properly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stephenv - 03-01-05 00:06 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nforce2 built in sound on an a7n8x-e deluxe motherboard am also experiencing this issue on 2.6.10. Very frustrating, its a showstopper on migration from windows to linux. Will attach /etc/asound.state and /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files tonight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- slammer - 03-04-05 22:53 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think that my issue report # 902 describes the same problem, although I have examined that it's the rear socket's channel second not working regardless of mixer settings. Could anyone check if it's so? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jor - 03-08-05 19:03 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Exact same problem here, right rear surround speaker doesn't work in a 4.0 setup with the "Line-in as Surround" option set. Works fine with kernel 2.6.10, but 2.6.11 doesn't. Also tried plain alsa release 1.0.8 and recent checkout from CVS. These also don't work. asound.state the same in both cases (2.6.10 compared against the others), also the ac97#0-0+regs only differs in some volume settings. But also tested it by setting the exact same register settings. System: Asus A7N8X-X Debian Unstable Kernel 2.6.11-ck1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 03-09-05 18:43 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Can you try the latest CVS version? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 03-09-05 18:43 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to update both alsa-driver and alsa-lib! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jor - 03-09-05 19:24 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, tried new CVS checkout and recompiled the kernel modules. It's working again. I guess the "Fix stereo mutes on Surround volume control" CVS diff on ac97_codec.c does the trick, Many thanks. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stephenv - 03-10-05 03:27 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- no luck over here: asus a7n8x-e deluxe fedora core 3 not sure I built it right. I did from my home directory as root mkdir alsa cd alsa cvs -q -f -z3 -d ":pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsa" co -P alsa-driver alsa-kernel alsa-lib ./configure didn't work... something is wrong with the documentation.... so tried ./cvscompile and make install did this for both alsa-driver and alsa-lib per suggestion, did I need to do it in a particular order? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- slammer - 03-10-05 11:55 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you read "Compilation from CVS sources" section in alsa-lib/INSTALL and alsa-driver/INSTALL ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- slammer - 03-10-05 13:17 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I confirm it too. CVS version fixes my issue reported in 902 so I guess it's the same bug ;) Great job guys! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stephenv - 03-10-05 18:03 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I was reading the howto's off the main page, hadn't occured to me that the INSTALL would contain entirely different instructions. Anyhow, as you can see, I "did it right" according to the install instruction in INSTALL and still have the problem. I am running kernel-2.6.10-1.770 for fc3, looks like this may be the problem as those of you reporting it fixed are running 2.6.11 of some sort. FC3 hasn't released that yet. I could roll my own, I know it "shouldn't" break anything, might do that when I can find the time. I have a wife and family though, and they miss me since I started this linux thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- slammer - 03-10-05 23:28 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah. Me too should get life... such things just eat me and digest with bones. Anyhow I know it's none of my competence but, since this was fixed, people would really use at least rc version soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 03-16-05 14:49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, now 1.0.9rc1 was out. So, please give it a try. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stephenv - 03-16-05 16:41 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai, Thanks for not closing this out. I will test with rc1 tonight and let you know my results. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jor - 03-19-05 18:06 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yes, 1.0.9rc1 also works, and I see the patch in 2.6.11.5. So I'm happy again :) Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 01-24-05 13:44 Envel New Issue 01-24-05 13:44 Envel Kernel Version => 2.6.8.1 01-25-05 15:18 tiwai Note Added: 0003402 01-28-05 08:17 ivantheviking Issue Monitored: ivantheviking 01-28-05 08:19 ivantheviking File Added: asound.state 01-28-05 08:20 ivantheviking File Added: ac97#0-0 01-28-05 08:21 ivantheviking File Added: ac97#0-0+regs 01-28-05 08:30 ivantheviking Note Added: 0003424 01-29-05 17:13 ivantheviking Note Added: 0003438 03-01-05 00:03 stephenv Issue Monitored: stephenv 03-01-05 00:06 stephenv Note Added: 0003752 03-02-05 01:19 ivantheviking Note Edited: 0003438 03-04-05 22:53 slammer Note Added: 0003802 03-04-05 22:55 slammer Issue Monitored: slammer 03-07-05 00:12 stephenv File Added: svs.tar 03-08-05 18:43 jor Issue Monitored: jor 03-08-05 19:03 jor Note Added: 0003816 03-09-05 18:43 tiwai Note Added: 0003834 03-09-05 18:43 tiwai Note Added: 0003835 03-09-05 19:24 jor Note Added: 0003845 03-10-05 03:27 stephenv Note Added: 0003847 03-10-05 11:55 slammer Note Added: 0003848 03-10-05 13:17 slammer Note Added: 0003850 03-10-05 14:36 tiwai Relationship added has duplicate 0000902 03-10-05 18:03 stephenv Note Added: 0003869 03-10-05 23:28 slammer Note Added: 0003875 03-16-05 14:49 tiwai Note Added: 0003959 03-16-05 16:41 stephenv Note Added: 0003962 03-19-05 18:06 jor Note Added: 0004059 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
