Unable to hear any sound
I'm curious as to why can't I hear any sound coming from my speaker, even after doing the SOP for configuring the sound devices. The following text is my configuration:
Code:
$ cat /boot/loader.conf | grep snd_ snd_ich_load="YES" $ kldstat | grep snd_ 3 1 0xc0d30000 6f88 snd_ich.ko $ kldstat | grep sound 4 2 0xc0d37000 4a5ac sound.ko $ cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep pcm pcm0: <Intel ICH6 (82801FB)> port 0x5000-0x50ff,0x48c0-0x48ff mem 0xb0040800-0xb00409ff,0xb0040400-0xb00404ff irq 20 at device 30.2 on pci0 pcm0: [ITHREAD] pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC250 AC97 Codec> $ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50 Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phout is currently set to 0:0 Recording source: mic |

Try all the audio sockets on the motherboard. Bugs can lead to audio being routed to the wrong socket. (line out appearing on the microphone socket is not unusual!) These bugs are often in the hardware and firmware (ie out of out control) as much as in the software.

Yes, this is an on board chip. The motherboard is Arima W330UCX.
It's a dual-boot laptop. It has Windows XP on the other slice and sound works fine in it. Last edited by ebzzry; 11th July 2008 at 06:48 AM. |

Did you try setting all the mixer values too 100? Not sure what they all do, but I guess it can't hurt...
And what does % cat /dev/sndstat say?

check if you haven't disabled sound on your laptop with external buttons (shit happens)
Open audacious, and check audio output driver... If you play mp3 to check sound, check that you have mp3 plugins (i had problems with that once) Also have you tried to compile drivers in kernel? (shouldn't make difference, but what if....) Last edited by graudeejs; 11th July 2008 at 08:03 AM. |

I can't remember the driver that Windows is using and I can't boot to Windows now.

ive had this problem when using windowmaker. when i would use kde, it would work, but when i ultimately switched over to wmaker, it would not. i had to start the sound server manually (arts). i simply typed in artsd in a term window and voila!! sound.

you can add that to ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart to have it run when you launch wmaker.
autostart is a shell script, there is also an 'exitscript' in the same directory serving the purpose it's name would suggest.

There *IS* actually sound, but it's too weak. I didn't notice it at first when using the built-in speaker of the laptop. But I tried plugging in a headset and I was able to hear audio coming out of the headset speakers.
Yes, the mixer settings are at max. What is causing this problem? Is there anyway to crank up the volume? Last edited by ebzzry; 15th July 2008 at 04:08 AM. |

can you post your /boot/device.hints file?
|

Yeah. Here it is:
