Intel 865G -- no sound

Intel 865G -- no sound

[Stephen Waters]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3648 bytes --]

Hi,

I'm running Linux 2.4.20 with ALSA 0.9.4 on Intel 865G (Dell GX270, if
you wanna look up the machine at http://support.dell.com). Although the
snd-intel8x0 driver,  etc. load fine, no sound actually comes out of the
card. I've got all the meters (mono, stereo, PCM, etc.) on 100 in both
ALSA and OSS mixer land...   everything *looks* fine in XMMS, etc. but
no sound actually comes out of the speakers.

Thanks for any help and thanks for all the good work over the years!

Re: intel8x0 driver with Intel 865G -- no sound

[Stephen Waters]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4117 bytes --]

More info: with the cdrom playing it still doesn't issue any sound. It
works fine under Windows XP (so I don't think the problem is between the
keyboard and the chair...)

Random guess: the card isn't being initialized quite right?

Thanks for any help,

any reason to use still 0.9.4?

i suspect a mixer configuration problem.
please attach /etc/asound.state for check.

or, this might be the problem of ac97.
try connecting to other jacks such as mic?
if it's the case, this should have been fixed in the recent version.

i added small codes to alsamixer to display the mute status in
the "Item:" line, too.  hopefully this is enough obvious for this kind
of problems.
