#197 April 17, 2009

Hello, I have a problem with a Creative X.FI Extreme Audio. I've never been able to make it work in Ubuntu 8.04. I've read that this sound card should work with the lasts version of Alsa, but I have no sound. I've tried following the steps in this post:

http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg21618.html

but the sound still doesn't work.

I also have an on-board sound card, that works with no problem. Now I have deactivated that sound card through BIOS in order to avoid any possible conflict.

1. Name your Ubuntu revision

Ubuntu 8.04

2. Kernel revision

#199 April 18, 2009

This whole thing doesn't work for me still. My debug is here. Up to now, most people say I should downgrade to 8.04 or switch to OSS. It's truly amazing since so many people are having problems with Intrepid. I just need snd-intel8x0 to be installed right and to load. I get error messages when installing the module. The help around here is giving up on me.

#200 April 20, 2009

I recently got a Dell Vostro 220 that has the ALC662 / ICH10 config which looks like it works fine without using this script. Since many other posts cover the real issues and steps to get it working, I will just list some of the steps I took so others with this system might benefit. Beyond a stock config, I put a GeForce 7300GS into the PCI-E slot to get the most out of my 24". Otherwise, the Dell is a stock config.

Had a 8.04 CD around from a previous install and all went fine on this system. Reboot once installed, update and no-go on the sound. Kernel modules work but dmesg and logs show no errors. I wound up finding the 8.10 CD that I thought had been lost so I figured why not just reinstall and see if it goes, since I had only a cell modem tethered for Internet.

Upon boot into 8.10, the same problem happened. This thread, which thankfully comes up at or near the top via Google, contained the solution. I decided to upgrade early to 9.10 via the system since this can usually solve minor problems with things. Reboot about an hour later after all is goot and the same issue happens. No big errors with sound, made sure things are not muted, tried different ports while playing, and all show no error but no sound.

At first, I did not want to use the script given its non-clean (not using dpkg/apt for install) but decided to go since the last time I did not have a working sound card in Linux was in 1.2-kernel days--really sad.

I grabbed the last updated script, from January '09 at time of writing, and ran it on top of the 2.6.28-11 kernel found here. It ran for about 15 minutes (fast cpu/fast internet) and then exited, prompting a reboot. I did so and was welcomed a minute later by some sound. Awesome. I've not done anything but use the rear port (I think the card is a 6-ch digital) connected to my ipod via a 1-bit dac for regular stereo sound.

Thanks.

#201 April 20, 2009

Hi! I've a acer 6930. I've edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base too, adding options snd-hda-intel model=auto but it doesn't work. Also i added options snd-hda-intel model=acer but it doen't work too. I dont know if there's a bug with pulseaudio but i can not mute my speaker with the headphones pluged.

Any idea??

Thank you a lot!

BR.

#202 April 20, 2009

Hi! First off, the specs: Ubuntu 9.04 Beta Alsa 1.0.19 (did the driver-snap) HP dv9500-series (dv9656eo to be exact) ALC268 NVidia 8600M GS

Your script worked perfectly on my computer :) I still have some troubles though. Leaving /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base unmodified (there was no file there) and the sound worked. I want to get audio over HDMI to work however, so, I tried switching between models. No model in 267/268 group seem to be HP, I tried a few, but got pretty much the same results, in some cases the audio seemed a bit choppy.

After a quick google, I saw someone with a HP-laptop recommending to set the model to auto, so I did. For the first time I get some digital devices in aplay -l aswell as a SPDIF output in aplay -L which is digital. I don't have any optical outputs however.

Output of alsa -L with model=auto:

default:CARD=Intel HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC268 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

That middle digital device wasn't there when the sound worked. (when i had no alsa-base set). I've seen HDMI-devices listed here for people successful in enabling audio over HDMI. But I do need a digital device aswell? no?

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base commented out:

#203 April 21, 2009

Hardy user with a Lenovo R61i over here...I'm trying to wrap my head around this one. I'm also using the PPA provided by psyke83 in order to patch PulseAudio, if it means anything...

I followed the instructions to the letter from this blog post which in turn was referenced in this Launchpad bug report.

I was able to download ALSA, apply the patch, and build it using the script. Unfortunately, I'm having no luck. Per the logfile:


checking for ALSA&#8230; configure: error: Package requirements (alsa >= 1.0.11) were not met:

No package &#8216;alsa&#8217; found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALSA_CFLAGS
and ALSA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

alsa-plugins-1.0.19 configure failed

Any ideas?

#204 April 21, 2009

Hi! My specs: Ubuntu 9.04 Beta Alsa 1.0.19 (driver-snap) ACER 6930G ALC888 NVidia 9600 GT

Your script worked perfectly on my computer but I still have some troubles though.

every boot, i don't have sound, restarting alsasound twice it fix my problem
in alsa-base.conf i have options snd-hda-intel=acer, all works fine (frontal + subwoofer speaker) but i have noise with internal mic

#205 April 21, 2009

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! FIXED MY SPIDIF ON HDMI! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Now to fix dual screens, I had it fine on Ubuntu but cant figure it out on Kubuntu

#206 April 21, 2009

I have a STAC9221 sound card and it worked without any problem after installing alsa with your script and setting up "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (although I'm not sure if it was necessary).

Thank you! Ubuntu 8.10 (32bits) Kernel: 2.6.27-11

#207 April 22, 2009

Thank you.

pike2k said: Thank you. I got a 0404 USB2.0 and before with .15/.16 alsa I had pops and scratches on audio. New alsa seems to fix those issues atleast

Now all I miss is working SPDIF (iec958) + ac3/dts passthrough on this card. I'm still rather clueless how to get this to work ............................................................................................................

#208 April 22, 2009

Thank you. Sound now works in this ASUS F80L series (albeit extremely quietly, but hey, there's always the amp)

#209 April 23, 2009

Hi, is there a central location that I can download the latest update of this script at any time?

#210 April 25, 2009

Hello,

I have installed ubuntu 8.04 on a hp 8530p and i had no sound. I tried everything, but nothing worked. I installed your script and i had sound !!!!!!!!!! These is so greaaaaaat. This is why i like linux. Thanx a lot for these work.

#211 April 26, 2009

I try to install the script since yesterday, but I always get a timeout while connecting to

ftp.alsa-project.org|160.217.9.25|:21..

Is there any other way to get the new latest version?

#212 April 26, 2009

Same problem as above. The script is constantly timeouting when trying to download from ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/ I hope they will fix their ftp soon.

#216 April 26, 2009

Hello there!

Got some problems installing alsa... using the script.

Board: Asus M3A78-T with ALC1200 sound chip

3.1 at the moment: 1.0.18 3.2 to be installed: 1.0.19

Name your Ubuntu revision: 9.04
Kernel revision: 2.6.28-11-generic
Alsa revision
Upgrade script revision: 16

log during install reports: configure: error: *** libasound has no external plugin SDK alsa-plugins-1.0.19 configure failed

if needed, details can be obtained in the log files... in Desktop.zip

Hope you can help me, wanted to upgrade to get my SPDIF running(hopefully)... Tried really everything, but didn't help... :/ mixer is my second name...

Don't know why, but IEC958 regulater in mixer is missing, only IEC958 switch is present.

also check: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3eeff7a986f4092c720513029e2fc6bfb5d7161c

SOLVED:

seems like everything is working now, that error had no effect.... Well, also my SPDIF problem is resolved, simply by adding that 6stack-dig line!! :)

#217 April 26, 2009

Just wanted to say thanks for this script. I just updated ALSA 1.0.18 -> 1.0.19 in Jaunty on my Lenovo S10 with no problems. After I installed 1.0.19 I went ahead and installed the latest driver snapshot. Then magically my internal mic started working. Now everything works correctly on this laptop.

Now for someone to take the next step and add a repository so we don't have to re-run the script every time the kernel or ALSA gets updated.

Also, I had to make a few minor changes tot he script since I use medibuntu. Basically I removed the packages that apt-get said had conflicts with my installation. Is there any known problems from doing this?

Thanks again for the script.

Hi how exactly do i install this script? thanks

#220 April 26, 2009

Thanks for the tip about the mirrors, fasteddy86 - I needed to edit that before I could run, I guess the ftp site is borked for now.

#221 April 27, 2009

Thanks for the mirrors fasteddy86, I've been intalled jaunty amd64 in a Aspire one 5930, before I had intrepid i386 on the same system, I made a clean install to use ext4 instead ext3. Works fine, let's see how my headphones work.

#222 April 27, 2009

Upgrading to Jaunty made ALSA screw up on my s10. The only capture or recording device listed was "Digital" and though the front mic would play in the speaker, it would not work as a capture device for things like audacity and Jack.

After running the script on my s10, I didn't see any immediate changes. I searched the modules list but the s10 wasn't listed. I did find the right type of module by running in terminal:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep Coded

which returned

Codec: Realtek ALC269

Since Ideapad isn't a device listed specifically in the HD-Audio_Models.txt, I had to guess which one would work best. This was the ultimate solution: I added the line in alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=basic

After a reboot, I finally have all the options and switches I need in ALSA! Mic and Line in work as capture inputs now! Hope this helps all you s10 users!

#223 April 28, 2009

Note, the script does not work in case you have linux backports modules installed ( in my case I need it for the integrated network chip). The problem is that with backports installed, the kernel loads the driver from /lib/modules/<kernel modules number>/updates/alsa instead of the usual spot. So you need to copy the alsa-drivers there ( meaning the content of /lib/modules/<kernel modules number>/kernel/sound) or sudo aptitude remove linux-backports-modules-<Ubunutu Distro>

#225 April 29, 2009

The script installed perfectly on my 9.04 Laptop system. I can only hear a faint sound through headphones, though. (which is better then the zero sound I had)

Intel HDA. I tried to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base with different options, but it's still a really tiny noise. Any suggestions?

Maybe type "alsamixer -c0" into the Terminal, and check the volume levels of everything?

#227 April 30, 2009

Hi there,

thanks for the good script. Saves quite a bit of work for the compilation.

Anyway, I have got the problem that my sound works alright when I plug in my headphone, but not through the Notebook speaker. I attached the output from uxchecker-1.05.sh. Any hint would be appreciated.

Cheers, Marcus

#228 April 30, 2009

There are debs for alsa1.0.19 and pulseaudio 0.9.15 for Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty here which may be an easier way to get them since you can just add the ppa to your repo list and get them with apt or Synaptic

https://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive/ppa

#229 May 1, 2009

The Mad Mule said: Maybe type "alsamixer -c0" into the Terminal, and check the volume levels of everything?

Everything appears to be turned up to the maximum, and nothing appears to be muted.

#230 May 3, 2009

markubuntu,

I'm using jaunty 32 bit. I installed the packages for alsa1.0.19 and pulseaudio 0.9.15: by going to https://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive/ppa, adding the sources, storing the gpg key & using Update Manager. Interestingly, alsa-base (on Synaptic) still shows 1.0.18 whereas lib-asound2 shows 1.0.19: looking at the ppa this is expected since the package list doesn't show alsa-base. Is there another ppa with alsa-base 1.0.19?

I've also used your recomendation of downloading a bunch of packages (e.g. pdadevchooser) and then configuring sound using pdadevchooser app & System Preferences Sound & Gnome Volume Control.

PS I've also added the following lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: options snd slots=snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=dell-xxxx alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel (where xxxx=m26 for Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop and xxxx=3stack for Dell Inspiron E520 Desktop) This comes from a launchpad bug.

At the end of all this, Sound Recorder & Skype work OK on my desktop but do not work (specifically recording/capturing) on my laptop! []("https://launchpad.net/%7Ethemuso/+archive/ppa")

#231 May 5, 2009

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to install this script .. n00b here.. thanks

#232 May 6, 2009

rev.1.17 ( compile alsa 1.0.20 stable )

#233 May 6, 2009

ALSA 1.0.20 is now OUT! Please upgrade the script :)

#234 May 6, 2009

already attached by me.

#235 May 6, 2009

Thanks so much for the script Biasquez and Soundcheck. Just buy running this script I got the sound on my Dell Vostro 420 to work with Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.

Great work.

#236 May 6, 2009

arrrrrg... I still have the same problem with Digital INPUT on realtek ALC888 (intel hda). Absolutly no sound is heard from SPDIF INPUT. Version 1.0.20 didn't solve my problem :(

#237 May 8, 2009

support for kernel 2.6.29? can i just replace "2.6.28" to "2.6.29" in the script? thanks :guitar:

#238 May 9, 2009

THX!!! worked on my Lenovo S10e!!:)

#239 May 9, 2009

I reinstalled my OS this afternoon and oddly my sound wasn't working like it was just a few hours ago. I redid everything just like I did before but this time I get no sound just like I did before I ran the upgrade script found in this thread.

This time I poked around for a while and did some different stuff I eventually stumbled upon the solution in alsamixer.

I have 5 loopback devices on the sound card displayed in alsamixer: Analog Loopback Analog Loopback 1 Analog Loopback 2 Analog Loopback 3 Analog Loopback 4

I'm not sure what the purpose of these devices are but I muted them and now the sound works, just like that.

Actually I just muted "Analog Loopback" the others made no difference at all from what I could see, but I muted them all for good measure. Hope this helps someone out there. I didn't think to mute them or unmute them I was just hitting buttons in alsamixer hoping to make a difference and then boom sound works.

Thanks again for your script.

On a side note the distribution that i'm using (XBMC Live) doesn't have wget installed by default so I had to manually install that cause the script doesn't check to see if it's there or not before attempting to use it.

#240 May 9, 2009

Ocean4200, I am in the same situation. As soon as I have a fix, I'll post it here.

#241 May 10, 2009

Hi folks.

I finally updated the script. Alsa 1.0.20 and Kernel 2.6.29 are supported now.

You should also have a look at the updated HDA model list. There might be a chance that this or that function of your soundcard is now supported. You just need to choose a matching model-id for your driver.

And once more:

Don't complain that your SPDIF-in or similar is still no working. Run the alsa-info script and send the output to the alsa mailing list.

Let me know if you encounter problems with the script.

Cheers

#242 May 10, 2009

Maybe a few of you guys who are happy with the patch could report your success on the original launchpad and, probably more importantly, the underlying ALSA bug report so that this gets included in the next official release!

Thanks.

#243 May 10, 2009

@soundcheck thanks for your support! -maybe offtopic- i'm trying to tweak usb driver from http://www.diyaudio.com/wiki/index.php?page=LINUX+Audio+ALSAManualInstall but the code in usbaudio.c is changed:

before

		/* FIXME: there might be more than one audio formats... */
			runtime->hw.period_bytes_min = runtime->hw.period_bytes_max =
				fp->frame_size;
		}
	}

	/* set the period time minimum 1ms */
	/* FIXME: high-speed mode allows 125us minimum period, but many parts
	 * in the current code assume the 1ms period.
	 */
	snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax(runtime, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_PERIOD_TIME,
				     1000 * MIN_PACKS_URB,
				     /*(nrpacks * MAX_URBS) * 1000*/ UINT_MAX);

	err = check_hw_params_convention(subs);
	if (err < 0)
		return err;
	else if (err) {
		hwc_debug("setting extra hw constraints...\n");
		if ((err = snd_pcm_hw_rule_add(runtime, 0, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_RATE,
					       hw_rule_rate, subs,
					       SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_FORMAT,
					       SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_CHANNELS,
					       -1)) < 0)

now

		/* FIXME: there might be more than one audio formats... */
			runtime->hw.period_bytes_min = runtime->hw.period_bytes_max =
				fp->frame_size;
		}
		pt = 125 * (1 << fp->datainterval);
		ptmin = min(ptmin, pt);
	}

	param_period_time_if_needed = SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_PERIOD_TIME;
	if (snd_usb_get_speed(subs->dev) != USB_SPEED_HIGH)
		/* full speed devices have fixed data packet interval */
		ptmin = 1000;
	if (ptmin == 1000)
		/* if period time doesn't go below 1 ms, no rules needed */
		param_period_time_if_needed = -1;
	snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax(runtime, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_PERIOD_TIME,
				     ptmin, UINT_MAX);

	if ((err = snd_pcm_hw_rule_add(runtime, 0, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_RATE,
				       hw_rule_rate, subs,
				       SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_FORMAT,
				       SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_CHANNELS,
				       param_period_time_if_needed,
				       -1)) < 0)

so, just change "ptmin" value? its safe?

thanks in advance! :guitar:

I tried the latest upgrade script (May10th) unfortunately the compile failed. This link is to a pastebin of the tail of the log showing the compile error. http://pastebin.ca/1418432

Here is an oddity I found in the log outside of the actual compile error.

Try to install liba52-dev and libpulse0 manually and then run the script again.

sudo apt-get install liba52-dev libpulse0

Let me know if it works.

#247 May 11, 2009

Cool script!! Thank you for this!

I have Ubuntu 9.04 and Acer TravelMate 7520G. Sound worked ok right after installing but the internal mic stayed silent. This script helped! Now it works ok, atleast in Skype. Audacity has still some problems. Recording in Audacity produces very cracking sound and it seems like the upper section of the voice wave has been cut off (weird lookin thing, I'll provide screen cap if needed).

Anyway this made my day! :guitar:

Btw. I've been crying on a lot of forums about my problems and nowbody seems to know nothing about fixing silent mics in any computers. U guys rock!

Are we to do a reboot prior to the uxchecker run, or is but one reboot required? Thanks in advance!

Only one reboot right after the AlsaUpgrade is needed.

Thanks for the clarification, soundcheck! Will see if the script solves a non-working mic problem as it did others. ... Woohoo! The mic works now on my generic HDA Intel. Thanks, soundcheck!

Hello forum!

Don't know what to do. No sound on my Medion MD 96500. snd-hda-intel will not load. I think i tried everything i read in all forums around. No way, no sound!

I updated from 8.10 (anything was all right) to 9.04 (no sound at all).

When using the live cd oh 9.04 i hear sound out of the box.

Alsa update script will not install the new version.

What can i do?

Would be more than happy for help.

The upgrade log looks ok. Did you run the uxchecker before you ran the upgrade? Did you reboot after the upgrade?

#255 May 14, 2009

Yes i rebooted after upgrade and no, i didn't start the uxchecker before i upgrade.

Alsa Version ist still 1.0.18

cmcx_linux wrot in this forum 2 weeks ago: "Note, the script does not work in case you have linux backports modules installed ( in my case I need it for the integrated network chip). The problem is that with backports installed, the kernel loads the driver from /lib/modules/<kernel modules number>/updates/alsa instead of the usual spot. So you need to copy the alsa-drivers there ( meaning the content of /lib/modules/<kernel modules number>/kernel/sound) or sudo aptitude remove linux-backports-modules-<Ubunutu Distro>"

I have backport modules and i copied all files like above discribed, but i'm not sure if this is the right way.

#256 May 14, 2009

Quick shot in the dark:

Did you also install the headers for the backports?

linux-headers-lbm-$KERNEL

I just installed the backports on top of my 1.0.20 installation. It seems to work.

#257 May 14, 2009

So, I installed linux-headers-lbm-$KERNEL, but there are more problems then before!

I run the alsa schrip with -r (restore) -di, snap ... nothing.

"alsa-lib-1.0.20 not found" in the end of AlsaUpgrade script.

Shi......

#258 May 14, 2009

So, it seems OK, but still: Alsa 1.0.18

#259 May 15, 2009

AndreasA. said: So, it seems OK, but still: Alsa 1.0.18

I had a look at your logs. You seem to have a corrupted Alsa installation. No cards/devices an even /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base won't seem to be there.

There might be something else wrong on your system.

Restore the backup you've taken before you started the ALSA upgrade. And run the uxchecker prior to the upgrade.

Try also "lspci -vv" to see if your audio device is recognised at all.

#260 May 15, 2009

Attempting to install 1.0.20 and get this error part way through.

No package 'alsa' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALSA_CFLAGS and ALSA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I've tried the ALSA_LIBS export, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Stellar script Soundcheck. Got the sound working well on my acer aspire 6930G (although haven't quite checked everything yet).

I agree with your sentiments about timelyness of support completely, the hardware world moves so fast - especially with laptops - that the whole process needs to be far faster - and decoupling low level things like alsa better from ubuntu releases can only be a good thing. If folks aren't interested in fancy new facilities, they can stick with the release build, but if they want the new goodies (like tuba on the acer's, or great video performance with the latest chipsets), then it needs to be relatively painless to bring these in.

Although I'm having problems getting all the goodies working on my new laptop, they're nothing compared to the hassle I had putting my first HTPC together in the early days of Windows XP

#281 May 18, 2009

Hello,

thank you for the very interesting script!

just to say that uxchecker doesn't install hwinfo, which is needed by the process; as far as it come with a another package, the instruction apt-get install hwinfo in the script has to be followed by the option -y.

BTW I'm (unfortunately) using an ISP giving the same ip to many people (NAT), so my ip was blocked from downloading from alsa site (probably for overcharge) and I had to look around a while in order to find an active mirror, as far as many mirrors of the alsa site aren't active at all. If i can suggest an improvement, you could automatically shift to a mirror if downloading from main site doesn't work.

Thank you again,:KS

#282 May 18, 2009

I'm puzzled, I decided to try a number of the likely looking variants I can specify in my alsa-base.conf file (as in options snd_hda_intel model=acer)

But I have found that the first time it had an effect, thereafter it didn't change anything, now even removing that line (which was the first way I tried it), it does not revert to the situation when I first installed the new version of software. I was restarting alsa initially, but even a shutdown and re-power on doesn't seem to restore things. It seems that somethings are being saved away elsewhere.

Anyone know where this might be?

I'm running Ubuntu 32 bit, Jaunty, on an Acer aspire 6930G on a clean new build. I used the scripts on page 1 to install drivers .20 yesterday.

#283 May 18, 2009

I ran the latest version of the script numerous times on a fresh Mint 7 (9.04) system (I have a M3N78 MB). Each time, aplay -l list no soundcards at all. However, before running the script (i.e. immediately afer the fresh Mint installation), aplay -l did list all Nvidia HDMI/Digital/Analog soundcards, although without any actual sound output. What should I do to get the soundcards back?

#284 May 22, 2009

Thanks,

Using your script I upgraded to Alsa 1.0.20 from 1.0.18rc3 on Jaunty 9.04 64-bit. This fixed my Alsa sound problems. From no sound (except using OSS) to sound.

I'm using a ASUS M2N68 mainboard (AMD CPU) with a onboard VIA VT1708B sound card using the snd-hda-intel driver.

#285 May 22, 2009

I have no idea why this isn't working. However yesterday I downgraded from 9.04 to 8.10 because I now have two monitors and the ATI drivers are crap with 9.04 so no dual screen.

Anyways, I have used this script a few times in the past and it has worked flawlessly, but now I keep getting this:

Hey all.

I had troubles with sound after i upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04.

I successfully installed alsa 1.0.20 using the script. Many thanks!

Yet, the sound is really low volume! I can hardly hear it. I use alsamixer and gnome's default mixer and raise the volume but it doen't raise enough.. Any ideas?

thx

EDIT: my mistake :-) in alsamixer the VIA DXS switched were muted! ought to be more carefull!

..So many thanks for the script!

budluva04 said: how do i recompile with -fPIC????

In the terminal where you run the compile type (no ">"):

CFLAGS=-fPIC;export CFLAGS

As you can see "fPIC" are flags for the c compiler that are specified through an environment variables. When you exit the terminal session the environment variables will disappear. The next time you will need to execute the CFLAG statement above.

This will not always resolve the compile issue you are having but it does answer your question.

Good Luck

#303 June 8, 2009

Hi My fiancee has a Dell Vostro A860 (T2410) laptop. They sell this model with Ubuntu 8.04 in my country. They have it with Vista too but she likes Ubuntu, so :) After an update the sound stopped working completely. No login sound, no headphones, no built-in speaker. The speaker applet on the taskbar shows an icon of a speaker crossed by a red line. If I click it it says: "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices not found". Now, I'm a noob myself but I managed to find these things:

the sound is ok if I load a previous kernel at boot (2.6.24-22). Right now the system is updated to 2.6.24-24. We hoped kernel updates would solve this problem, but they didn't.
the onboard soundcard is a "Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio". "lspci -v" gives me this info related to the audio card:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) 
	Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 029a 
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 7 
	Memory at f6dfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] 
	Capabilities: <access denied>

I ran soundcheck's script, which updated the ALSA driver, but there is no change. I am begining to lose hope this problem can really be solved. At least not by a regular user like myself or my fiancee. I can work with the terminal but I am afraid to just try lots of commands just to see what happens. I could not be able to fix things by myself if I screw up and I'm not looking forward to the thought of losing GDM as a result of a purge/reinstall of a package. That's why I'm asking you guys for help. Can someone please offer any advice? Is there something to be done, soundcheck? Being a total noob, I'm figuring this card is supported by ALSA since it works on a different kernel, though. What should I do? Thank you.

#304 June 9, 2009

I had been successfully using this script with Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 to obtain sound support on an Acer Aspire 8930 (plus a few other tweaks mentioned in another thread), but it appears to not work with kernel version 2.6.28-12. I only made one attempt, so the cause may be elsewhere, but reverting to 2.6.28-11 resolved the problem.

In other matters, can anyone explain why, if upgrading the version of Alsa shipped with 8.10 (1.0.16 I think) to 1.0.18 via this script would fix things, then why don't the 9.04 kernels that come with 1.0.18 work "out of the box?" I was surprised to see that building Alsa from source was still necessary. Are there significant compile time options set differently by this build script compared to the stock Ubuntu build? (I'd like to understand this and supply feedback to the Ubuntu devs so I can eventually migrate back to using the stock builds.)

Lastly, it would be great if someone could add a little bit more glue to this script to make it work as a DKMS module, which would result in the Alsa driver getting automatically rebuilt whenever a new kernel was installed. I looked over the DKMS documentation, and while not trivial, it should be pretty simple for anyone who has setup a DKMS module before.

Strange. Just upgraded. Works fine, but... I have sound in rhythmbox, vlc, nautilus (you know when you hold your mouse-pointer over a soundfile...), mplayer, aplay test, audacity... Well kind of everything seems to work. That is, except for flash sound from both firefox and opera. Anyone experience the same? Or have an idea how to fix it? Thanks.

No there are no specific compile options, I'd guess. I just compile all drivers and options. There might be sometimes a small difference in Alsa versions e.g. 1.0.18 vs 1.0.18a

I looked into checkinstall and dkms. To run all things automatically is not that easy as it might seems.

The best thing would be if the Ubuntu maintainers would just drop in a new driver snapshot (the drivers are the main problem) once in a while. This can't be so difficult. I'd presume that the Alsa folks would even support this. Unfortunately Ubuntu still doesn't put "sound" on its priority list.

Perhaps I could check if a driver upgrade only could improve things.

#307 June 10, 2009

Not after first reboot. But after third reboot sound on flash came back. Everything is perfect. If anyone experiences problems with flash after upgrading, do a couple more reboots before you start crying like me. It might just work. (I did have to change the sound output settings in vlc to get that to work correctly).

#308 June 11, 2009

Well, this might be long, but I'm going to tell you the story of my problem here, to see if you could help me out.

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite M45 S169, under the name of Amaterasu. It's an old but reliable computer that I absolutely love (If I talk bad about her, she might notices it, hehe). I was a Hardy user since the second that the distro came out, and I recently move myself to Jaunty, the second it was out as well, knowing that I might face some problems along the way.

And problems did came my way. Sound problems, as many others end up having. The point is that after a lot of things, like installing and unistalling the PulseAudio and it's features, and setting up the alsa-mixer and all, I end up in a point where I "had" sound.

That meant that I could hear music on RthythmBox (Amarok has never worked for me in Jaunty, not Amarok2, at least) and some times, even watch movies or see Youtube videos. But well, today an Upgrade Notification appeared and without doubt, I did it; it was supposed to upgraded the kernel, as well as the Linux Headers and Images. I upgraded, reboot and I had no sound at all. That kinda worried me, because I need at least music, you know?

Well, I followed then the instructions to upgrade to 1.0.20 (Stable), reboot and voila, had some sound, but just like before. Now, the problem with the kind of sound that I'm having right now is that several things can happen, depending on the first program that I use after turning on the computer. Something like this:

If RthythmBox: 100% of the time it works, but when I put it in pause, it might crash the sound and start this bell disturbing sound. If I resume the music, it would be back to normal. But it's almost certain that after turning RB, I'm not going to be able to watch videos on Youtube (Flash) or movies, either in Totem or VLC.

If Flash like Youtube or others: 75% might work. If it works, after a while of seeing videos and stuff, sound crash, almost inevitably. If this happens, then it would be the same as if it would crash with the VLC.

If VLC or Totem: 50% might or might now work. Sound would crash if it doesn't work and that means that I wouldn't be able to watch videos on flash. But, as I said before, the RB would work the same.

So, basically, the RB always works, and I don't know why. I love Jaunty, so I don't want to pass myself over to Hardy again, where this work all the time. I have upgraded, as I said, the driver, I have everything in Sound Preferences with ATI IXP (ALSA) and I have no PulseAudio at all. Any ideas of what I could do for having a better sound situation, of the type of being able to hear some music, stop it, then watch a movie, stop it, watch some Youtube videos, stop it, and go back to hear music again?

Here's my info:

aplay ** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ** card 0: IXP [ATI IXP], device 0: ATI IXP AC97 [ATI IXP AC97] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Modem [ATI IXP Modem], device 0: ATI IXP MC97 [ATI IXP MC97] Subdevices: 0/1

Anything else you would need, just don't doubt to ask it, :)

P.S: Curiously enough, I installed this game called BurgerSpace, that's kinda funny and all. In Hardy, could play it with sound at all. Now, on Jaunty, right now, it says "Sound device not available". I don't have sound in other games, full screen or not, excepting with the pSX that works perfectly.

#309 June 11, 2009

soundcheck said: I looked into checkinstall and dkms. To run all things automatically is not that easy as it might seems.

If you want to give it a shot, I'll pitch in and try and find solutions if you get stuck.

The best thing would be if the Ubuntu maintainers would just drop in a new driver snapshot once in a while. This can't be so difficult.

I presume they don't do this for the same reason they don't include the very latest version of any package - so the software can work its way through the system while getting tested.

Of course if your hardware isn't supported at all by the current version, taking a risk with potentially buggy software is a welcome alternative.

What they could do is build the newer versions in a backport fashion for the current stable kernels, and make them available in an alternate PPA. Then those of us with newer hardware that need the bleeding edge drivers can add the PPA to our sources.list.

Though creating a package that rebuilds the latest drivers via DKMS would theoretically require less ongoing effort. But I suppose the uploads to the PPA could be automated as well.

#310 June 11, 2009

Ok, tried to follow some instructions of this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=365342&page=2, for ATI IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller, considering that after all, that's my sound card.

Did this:

#get rid of snd-atiixp-modem

blacklist snd-atiixp-modem

rather than just:

#get rid of snd-atiixp-modem snd-atiixp-modemAnd this:

$ sudo rmmod snd-atiixp-modemand this:

add to /etc/modprobe.d/options the line(s)

for soundchip snd_atiixp

options snd-atiixp ac97_codec=0After all those things, I reboot. Opened a video on VLC it worked. Then, opened something in Youtube, it worked. Opened RB, it worked. But when I placed it on hold, there was this bells sound. Close it, the bells sound dissapear. But Youtube, and VLC didn't work at all.

Actually I'm not so much into time right now (should be working), but as soon as possible, I'm going to open youtube and VLC over and over again to see if sound would crash without opening RB now.

ED:

I have been opening firefox and VLC one after the other, closing them along the way. And sound hasn't crashed yet. So I suppose that as long as I don't open RB, everything should be fine. But if I open a game like BurgerSpace (love it for testing sound problems), says still that there's no sound device available.

ED2:

Well, I just reboot the computer because I was hearing some music and wanted to watch some videos on Youtube. And Oh Grand Surprise, from starters, I didn't have any sound, without opening other programs. So, problems really persist, and big time.

Not to rush or anything, but is there a timeline on when 2.6.30 will be supported by this script? I've used this in the past on my intrepid install and worked great.

#312 June 16, 2009

In order to gain a better handle on what is going on with your system use the alsa-info script and use the --no-load option to the script then go to /tmp where it puts it and save the file to something called /home/username/alsa-info-good.txt (if your sound works) then when it goes bad do another run of the script and call it /home/username/alsa-info-bad.txt now you can do diff alsa-info-good.txt alsa-info-bad.txt the difference will give you a clue as to what changed and help lead you in the right direction. you can get the alsa-info script with: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh caution, use this script as a user not root. you can use this script's results on the alsa users mail list when reporting issues: the alsa mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net

Hi everyone, I just installed finished installing ubuntu and realised tht the sound *doesn't* work. After much googling, I managed to ressurect my sound. But....... now the sound is very low. I have got xp one my comp 2. the sound is really gud in xp.

There is somethin odd in the interface when i click the speaker icon tho, both "front" and "pcm" seem to be able to configure the sound. is that meant to happen? to give more info on my system ive got about 6 ports at the back with 2 or three of them for sound, i can only get decent sound when i plug my speakers into one of them and that too is quite pathetic. ive also got three other ports at the front, with one of them being the headphone port. im dual booting with xp right now and when i log into xp my front panel is workin but the back is not, and the sound i get from the front panel is great! so i dont think its the device problem either. i have a realtek alc880 sound card and my desktop is a compaq a1220a. cheers! any help is kindly appreciated..i love the ubuntu interface and everything, if i can get the sound workin thatd be awsum.

Ne suggestions as to how I overcome this problem? I have posted this problem many times but I am not getting any reply. Solution tried: 1) I tried going to that General sound trouble shooting page. Got *something* (which is at the following site: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4b2bd7db149c873093fc83dff6169277bb882b2e) 2) Tried downloading ur AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh and then did following steps:

It came up with this:

cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh

exactly what you typed, but add the switch -di to the end.

i.e. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di

Please note that currently the alsa-firmware zip file from alsa-project.org appears to be corrupt. You will need to edit the script as follows:

sudo nano ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh

Use CTRL+W (whereis) to find the phrase 'wget'

You'll see one of the lines in the wget section downloads the firmware file - change:

I'm on a Toshiba Satellite P300 ; - Ubuntu 9.04 - 2.6.28-13-generic - AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh

The script runs for about 5 mins, and then ;

-  Compiling firmware...
-------------------------------------------------------------
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh: line 243: ./configure: No such file or directory
alsa-firmware-1.0.20 configure failed

Any clues? Everything is going smooth up until that point.

Update: Still can't get this sucker running (looks like there's no configuration script under firmware), maybe the package from the ALSA-project has changed? Anyway, I downloaded the latest package and compiled it manually (driver,libs,firmware) manually (surprisingly easy). Didn't solve my missing microphone problems, though. *sigh*

Update: Ok, I've resigned trying to make bloody ALSA work, and gone over to the dark side with OSS v.4. And it fixed my problem, with a sparkling of crackling sounds. *sigh* Linux sounds system; a thorn in its side.

#317 June 21, 2009

Nevermind on my earlier post. I edited the Kernel5 line in the script for 2.6.30 and it compiled fine.

#318 June 22, 2009

I've been beating my brains out over audio for the last 3 days as not delivered by my Asrock A780GMH/128M motherboard with VT1708S codec + Debian Squeese/KDE4.2.x - 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP kernel.

I just ran the upgrade script. I've got music... and a mixer with a few new sliders. Haven't tested the microphone yet.

The pulseaudio output IS noisy... but if I select ALSA in the KDE audio manager, it works just fine.

And yes, current versions of ALSA do need to be either in the mainstream kernel or easily available via Debian Volatile (the Debian repo for stuff that MUST be up-to-date like anti-rootkit databases) and whatever equivalent of that exists in Ubuntu.

#319 June 24, 2009

OMG! Thank you so much for this. I had to sign up and reply.

I too had the same 'Dont have sound' issue, ran the script and away we go. All working beautifully.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

#320 June 25, 2009

*crosses his finger for this to work*

Got an asrock ion 330, but have been unable to get sound out on the HDMI so far, even tho it looks fine with aplay -l and even one of the soundchecks. But for some reason, I cant unmute/mute the PCM part and I am guessing thats what causes it, as there is no "box" underneath the bar.

So heres to hoping!

Edit: Argh, same problem still. No sound, even tho everything looks fine so its definatly something really easy I am missing :( Thats what I get for being a complete noob at this :)

Edit 2: ITS ALIVE!

Update: a week ago my system updated to the 2.6.28-13 kernel, and using the same script (but downloading the latest driver source), succeeded in getting sound to work.

The prior problem may have been due to the kernel in the proposed repository (which I have since disabled), or it may have been fixed by the driver update.

To the script author, I see later in the script these variables are used in 5 blocks of code that are nearly identical. And that the script makes use of uname -r to dynamically determine the kernel version. Can that code be reduced to a loop, and eliminate the hard-coded kernel versions?

#324 July 3, 2009

I have tried numerous other "fixes" to try and get the sound working. This is the only one that worked LOL. Thank you so much! Mad props. \\:D/ <-- thats me dancing to the music now that I can actually hear it!

#325 July 3, 2009

I have been using Ubuntu for awhile now, but haven't really tried to solve problems until now. I have accepted "no sound" problem for a long time, but last night I was playing around with my old small speakers and I found out I just needed speakers on my ubuntu! BUT I got too excited to get sound from my ubuntu machine, I wanted to do more (to be able to get sound with flash player) and I think I messed up driver or something pretty bad and I have no sound now even with speakers....

So, this morning, I found this thread, so...

I ran "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di" and rebooted, but when I do "cat /proc/asound/version", I get...

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18. Compiled on Jul 3 2009 for kernel 2.6.28-13-generic (SMP).

It should be 1.0.20, right? What am I missing? Do I need to change PATH or some sort?

Thanks,

Hello and thanks for your work!

When i run cat /proc/asound/cards it always says "no such file or directory". What can I do?

Greets

PS: I messed around with ALSA / Sound before to get my Intel 82801H HD onboard card working. I hoped that your script could resolve the above problem AND give me sound ;) (I am a beginner)

PS2: Great, at least I can see my card now with /proc/asound/cards... but I do not have sound. Any idea?

here, but now what do i do, as you can see im typing in what i think im being told to but getting an error, ive simply downloaded and extracted the script to desktop, but it says its not there

sorry i expect its staring me in the face but where am i going wrong?

#329 July 12, 2009

It tells you it's not there only when you forget the dot. So it's not:

/AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di

But:

./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di

When you sometimes remember the dot you get the error message that you have to be root, which means that you should put "sudo" before the "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di".

So go to your desktop directory. Probably just "cd Desktop". And then:

sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di

It will take some time to finish. Don't close the terminal until you see the "jacob@Jacob-Laptop:" again. Then reboot.

#331 July 15, 2009

I have the same problem. I ran the uxchecker script and checked the alsa upgrade and uxchecker log file generated. The files should be in /var/log directory. I had to install a couple packages and it seemed that mythtv was interfering with that. It still fails to compile.

#332 July 19, 2009

like many people here, I just wanted to express my thanks for this time saving script

#333 July 22, 2009

Thanks a lot. Your script got sound wroking on my friends Aspire 8920 on Jaunty.

#334 July 24, 2009

I'm looking to update my alsa to 1.0.20, since there is no ppa with it this script is my only hope. To those who tried it lately, does it upgrade to 1.0.20? and if something goes wrong, can i just reinstall alsa from the repos?

#335 July 24, 2009

1.0.20 yes. I can only recommend you to read and understand the first post in this thread. It'll probably answer your questions, and the reading will limit the problems you may make for your innocent computer.

The script worked great for me. Thanks by the way. Great job.

#336 July 24, 2009

thanks zob, well this script did everything i wished for and it did it without a hitch, i was trying to get X-Fi running on my 2.6.31-rc4 kernel but i had no luck so far. At least i know now its not the fault of alsa.

Awesome work on the script!

#337 July 27, 2009

Running your script REV 17. The script runs but drops out too quickly; less than a second after 'Be Patent!' appears. The system is not updated. I'm using: sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -snap. I've run this a couple of times, the system is stuck with Alsa 1.0.18rc 3.

Help please. (9.04. Aspire 8930.)

Graham.

#338 July 28, 2009

Thanks! With all the different confusing methods of getting sound to work, this finally did it for me. I'm using an ASUS G50Vt with kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 and I got things to work with model=g50v. I'm on Debian 5.0.2 (lenny) but of course it's similar enough to work (actually, I don't know if this script is even distro-dependant:-?).

#339 July 29, 2009

Got it working: sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -snap :Does not Work but sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di -snap: does work.

Thanks Graham.

#340 July 30, 2009

I am having problems with alsa. Sound worked ok after upgrading to Jaunty, but after I tried upgrading to alsa v. 1.0.20, nothing is working anymore. Tried the script, but looks like something is missing on my computer. For example, I get the following: "cat: /proc/asound/devices: No such file or directory" and "cat: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: No such file or directory". Running the uxchecker, I get a lot of other "No such file or directory" messages. My soundcard is not recognised anymore, but I had no problems with it before the upgrade. Also, when I ran alsa-info it reports that there is no alsa-driver installed. Some other information:

Hi The script runs properly on my computer, downloading and compiling everything without any error, but I still dont have sound. My computer is a Macbook Pro 5,4 Summer 2009 with Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04

#342 August 2, 2009

Hi The script runs properly on my computer. However, it seems that the driver isn't upgraded.

When I checked with the command $ cat /proc/asound/version, it returned : Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16. Compiled on Jul 25 2009 for kernel 2.6.24-24-generic (SMP).

which means that it is still not upgraded. I double checked with the command $ wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh, I got the following msg:

!!ALSA Version !!------------

Driver version: 1.0.16 Library version: 1.0.20 Utilities version: 1.0.20

[FONT=Verdana]However, when I used the command $aplay --version, it returned with:

aplay: version 1.0.20 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>

:confused::confused::confused:. Which alsa driver works in my notebook then?

I also noticed that during configuring the 1.0.20 driver, the following msg appeared[/FONT][FONT=Verdana]:

checking for GCC version... Kernel compiler: Used compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4)

* NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED * Assuming the same compiler is used with the current system compiler.

*** Please make sure that the same compiler version was used for building kernel.

while executing the command $ cat /proc/version, it returned: Linux version 2.6.24-24-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)) #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 22:46:06 UTC 2009

The main problem is however not solved yet :(... Still no sound.

Anyone knows how to solve the problem? [/FONT]

There's no sound. Default Sound Card is changed to HDMI. Sound Preferences is set to HDA ATI HDMI (Alsa Mixer) - IEC958. I'm using Mythbuntu 9.04 (32bit). My Asus Pundit PC is connected to a Panasonic Plasma via HDMI Cable.

Thanks in advance

No package 'alsa' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALSA_CFLAGS and ALSA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

alsa-plugins-1.0.20 configure failed

I've tried the ALSA_LIBS export, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Answered my own question, if anyone else gets this, make sure you don't have Synaptic Package Manager open (that was, I believe, my mistake).

#349 August 12, 2009

Tried everything possible to get the sound. Please find the details below;

Given the internal microphone bug:

Will this 'updater' compile with that fix in place? If so I'll do a clean install on my Vaio VGN lappy and field test it Fri.

#351 August 24, 2009

a2cno said: Hi

The script runs properly on my computer. However, it seems that the driver isn't upgraded.

When I checked with the command $ cat /proc/asound/version, it returned : Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16. Compiled on Jul 25 2009 for kernel 2.6.24-24-generic (SMP).

which means that it is still not upgraded. I double checked with the command $ wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh, I got the following msg:

!!ALSA Version !!------------

Driver version: 1.0.16 Library version: 1.0.20 Utilities version: 1.0.20

[FONT=Verdana]However, when I used the command $aplay --version, it returned with:

aplay: version 1.0.20 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> [/FONT]

I have this kind of mismatch too, except that my /proc/asound/version shows 1.0.18rc3

I had followed a different lead and manually compiled and installed these:

alsa-driver-1.0.20 alsa-lib-1.0.20 alsa-utils-1.0.20

and for a few days it solved my problem: internal speakers not muting when headphone jack is inserted. Now it has reverted, and reinstalling version 1.0.20 doesn't seem to work (or the installation fails).

I will try the upgrade script, but I'd still like to know how the problem found its way back after having been eliminated...

[EDIT:] I'm on jaunty now, not Breezy - must have been a while since my last post here... :-)

#352 August 26, 2009

No special modifications, this script works like a dream with LinuxMint 7 KDE Resolved my intermittent sound loss

Thanks!

#353 August 26, 2009

Props where props are due. Thanks, mate! Minor sound issue on the headphone jack, this cleared it right up. Think I will skip gateway next time and try a more linux friendly system.

Ok, the script solved the problem again (so far). Thanks. However, it also installed a bunch of rubbish in my "Applications | Sound & Video" menu. Is that necessary?

#355 August 27, 2009

Unfortunately, the script didn't make sound work on my system:

Acer Aspire 6935G Ubuntu 8.10, x86_64, kernel 2.6.27-14 Used last version of the script (alsa 1.0.20, rev 1.17)

The script completed successfully.

Doing cat /proc/asound/version tells alsa 1.0.20 is installed

Mixers show all channels activated and non-muted.

The "Playback" tab of Pulseaudio shows applications that are playing audio, but however I just get silence.

I get no errors, and the Intel card is detected: aplay -l ** Lista de PLAYBACK Dispositivos Hardware ** tarjeta 0: Intel [HDA Intel], dispositivo 0: ALC889 Analog [ALC889 Analog] Subdispositivos: 1/1 Subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0 tarjeta 0: Intel [HDA Intel], dispositivo 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI] Subdispositivos: 1/1 Subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0

But then speaker-test just makes silence... no sound at all.

It seems there's no way of getting sound from this Acer in 8.10.

Btw: yes, the sound hardware works in Windows.

#356 August 29, 2009

awesome, thank you!

#357 August 31, 2009

Please, soundcheck. Make your fantastic script work with the alsa version 1.0.21 released today (I think). There's something I need for my hdsp card, I'm quite sure. So please, please, please. Anyway thanks for this great script. I makes handling alsa upgrades so easy. And it just works. Great.

#360 September 1, 2009

Please could someone advise when sound will just fully work out of the box, and whether these fixes have been rolled into a major release?

Basically - in the future, I'd like to buy an Ubuntu-loaded machine and just be able to run more than one sound-emitting app and just have them working...

#361 September 1, 2009

HarshReality said: Just edit the file ;) you'll see what you need in the top 20 or so lines

That's exactly what I did to install Alsa 1.0.21 on Hardy. :D @zob Just change the versions listed at the top of the script to what's listed here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download

Major thanks to soundcheck for making this so easy. :D Trying to compile 1.0.21 from source kept giving me an error.

#362 September 1, 2009

Thansk HarshReality and Zoot7. Works great. Gotta love this script.

#363 September 3, 2009

Okay one little problem since I used it to upgrade on Hardy. Now whenever I run

sudo shutdown -h <time>

I get a rather annoying periodic and high pitched beep. This has only happened since I upgraded to Alsa 1.0.21 with this script. Is there any way I can turn it off?

I've tried disabling the terminal beep in the terminal profile, disabling the beep in System/Preferences/Sound, adding blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and running gconf-editor from the terminal and setting /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/bell_mode to 'off' rather than 'on'.

This is rather annoying considering I use the shutdown command a lot when watching movies. Anyone got any ideas on how to turn this thing off?

#364 September 3, 2009

Though I can't see it in the man pages, I've heard that it is possible make a quiet shutdown by adding -q to the shutdown command.

Or you can try to install the gshutdown, which is an advanced graphical shutdown utility. But really it's probably just graphics for the shutdown command i guess.

#365 September 3, 2009

Yeah I tried the -q switch already. No joy...

Anyway I never heard of GShutdown before, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks. :)

#366 September 3, 2009

Okay problem solved, and for anyone who encounters this problem the simple fix is to mute the "PC Speaker" in the Gnome ALSA Mixer.

#367 September 4, 2009

when i try to run the script after downloading some libraries i get this error

i think its possible to do a manual download and put the files in /usr/src and then do the -i option install where can i get the files

#368 September 4, 2009

Hi calanor.

Just do what zoot7 advised me to in commentary #361, edit the script with gedit to change version numbers to the 1.0.21 set in top of the script according to version numbers on this page (nb. I think all except one is version 1.0.21): http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download

Or you can download them manually, but there's really no need. Worked fine for me.

#369 September 4, 2009

Yet another thank you to soundcheck I've just used it on my home built PC, and this script has got my X-Fi working after nearly 3 years of waiting for ALSA support. :D

@calanor

This is what I changed lines 50 - 59 in order to get it working on Hardy to:

DRIVER=alsa-driver-1.0.21
FIRMWARE=alsa-firmware-1.0.20
LIB=alsa-lib-1.0.21
PLUGINS=alsa-plugins-1.0.21
UTILS=alsa-utils-1.0.21

#370 September 5, 2009

modifying script didn't work so i downloaded the files but they are all corrupt no matter i many times i download them also in the script the links are

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/$DRIVER.tar.bz2

whereas when i download the files the link is shown as

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org//pub/driver/$DRIVER.tar.bz2

there is a difference of / before pub

#371 September 5, 2009

ok i performed all the instructions manually but got stuck at alsa-utils installation i kept giving error for lpanelw library even after making a link in the folder and so i am pretty sure i won't be able to get sound after rebooting because i think i won't be able to uncheck mute

#372 September 5, 2009

after rebooting i am getting sound but there is no difference from previous alsa driver and i have not been able to install alsa-utils yet

#373 September 5, 2009

I am trying to upgrade to the latest ALSA (1.20) for use with a K10N780SLIX3-WiF HDA-NVIDIA due to choppy, staticy, and echoy audio.

the solution

You will need to add those symbolics links (only if you got the error) and restart the installation from the last “sudo ./configure” :

sudo ln -s libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/libpanelw.so sudo ln -s libformw.so.5 /usr/lib/libformw.so sudo ln -s libmenuw.so.5 /usr/lib/libmenuw.so sudo ln -s libncursesw.so.5 /lib/libncursesw.so

DESPERATELY NEED ADVICE New to Ubuntu.Understand that it will take some effort to get to ropes with Ubuntu.I have been battling now for 2 weeks to get sound on system.No sound at all.Clean install on new system.On dual boot with windows.Sound in windows works just wonderfull,no problems at all. Ubuntu,TOTAL different story.Tried everything I could find in forums.Also AlsaALSA Upgrade Script [B]& Multiple Sound Solution (ALSA w Pulseaudio)section [/B]But to no avail.Any advice will be appreciated.Volume controle shows,volume is not on mute. In sound preferences everything is on Aoto detect.And I have tried all different configurations. Pulse audio volume controle shows playback:Audio on Mute[Red Dot] and Output Devices:HDA Intel-ALC883 Analog"Audio also on Mute-Red Dot" Also not sure if I am doing it corectly[Upgrading the ALSA script],but when I try typing this in Terminal :sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di I get this :[sudo] pasword for anjojo: But when I try typing my pasword for anjojo,nothing is typed.No matter what keys I type.

For my post regarding the ASRock K10 MB with onboard sound.

The error that seems to be the root of issues for me is:

When I followed another thread about the LinuxAnt DEB file upgrade, this error came up, I selected Y, and sound started working before dpkg was completed with the LinuxAnt DEB.

So not sure what caused the error me or something else during the initial install.

Is there a "cleanup command" that I can use to maybe dump whatever cache that my be buggered up from the failed attempt?

I've tried several different argument options to no avail, my internet activity is 0kb/s when running the script, so I know that it isn't downloading anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#385 September 13, 2009

Hi folks.

I havn't been around for a while. Shame on me.I completely lost track about what's going on over here.

In an hour or so the script will be upgraded.

#386 September 13, 2009

Hi folks.

I just uploaded the updated version of my script.

It'll upgrade to the recently launched Alsa 1.0.21.

XFI owners will be happy about that.

It'll also run up to 2.6.31 kernels. I just tested it on a 2.6.31-rt kernel.

Let me know, if you face any big issues.

The script has been downloaded around 19000 times since last year. Not very many complaints or problems so far. It seems to be quite stable.

Enjoy.

#387 September 14, 2009

Thanks for the effort. Looks like a comprehensive script. Though I'm no expert, it looks like the driver install will fail for my HP Mini 110 (Ubuntu 8.04, 2.6.24-22-lpia kernel) because the kernel source (headers) is not located in /usr/src/linux-headers-$KERNEL. Not sure where it is or how to find it.

#388 September 14, 2009

$kernel is a variable based on the current kernel your running. I just did the script on my Vaio to get the microphone issue resolved (it is btw.. woohoo!). and it worked flawlessly (Jaunty x32).

So, I will say simply quoting you 'looks like' would be better served with the actual attempt. It doesnt break anything if it fails ;)

I've tried installing the drivers without the script and found that it fails because it can't find the kernel headers. Even though $KERNEL is a variable, there is nothing in my /usr/src directory, so the name will not find anything.

#390 September 14, 2009

well, easy enough simply terminal 'uname -r' to find your kernel name then goto synaptic and search for 'headers' and check the numeric value

for example this machine is using: steven@steven-desktop:~$ uname -r 2.6.28-15-generic so in synaptic I search for linux-headers-2.6.28-15 and select them for install. Then the script should run properly ;) If not let us know and we'll take the next step from there.

I'll check it out. That's indeed a problem.

Hello Community.

I hope my english is so good, that you can understand me.

This script works, but the ./configure-script from alsa-utils break with an error listet below.


checking for form.h... yes
checking for new_panel in -lpanelw... no
configure: error: panelw library not found


make: *** No Targets specified and no »make«-contorlfile found.  End.


make: *** No rules, to build »install«.  End.

I'm search for this at the Alsa.org-side, but can't get any idea from this side. Also an search at google and ubuntu-forums and -wikis in germany and english.

#395 September 15, 2009

I uploaded a new version.

@Melba: I don't see how to solve your issue for now. I am wondering if there is problem with your machine or setup in general. Perhaps you retry with the new svript version

@leeeson: Please download the new version and retry

If you run a 2.6.28-15-generic kernel you'll need also linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic. This is what is done by the script. On my 2nd machine I am running a 2.6.28-11-generic (Mint) The upgrade went flawless.

#396 September 15, 2009

I have my trouble with not located libraray panelw in the configure script from alsa-utils solved.

First i found a reply in this thread, wich tells me to make symbolic links from libpanelw.so.5 and a few other librarys lib….so.5 named libpanelw.so and lib….so.

But this only doesn't work, i don't know why.

A other thread tells me to install the package > libncursesw5-devThis was the solution for my system and now my alsa was upgraded.

Because i think this solution is helpfull for other users, i write this reply. Thanks.

#400 September 16, 2009

Hi soundcheck.

I'm having problems with my sound, and just tried your script using the instructions from page one:

download the script and save it somewhere
cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-3.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-3.sh -di
sudo shutdown -r 0

Everything ran smoothly, but the report from

 
ian@attercop:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18rc3.
ian@attercop:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_intel8x0
 1 snd_usb_audio
ian@attercop:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found...
ian@attercop:~$

doesn't show any success. It looks like the script failed somewhere. What else should I look at?

#401 September 16, 2009

If the script fails during the early phases prior to the installation process it won't install anything.

Did you do the reboot?

What does the logfile say? You'll find it under /var/log/Alsa.......

Just edit it and look for strange things.

sudo gedit /var/log/Alsa.....

You can also PM me.

Try to install libavutil49 manually and then restart the script:

sudo apt-get install libavutil49

#404 September 16, 2009

Thanks soundcheck. That cured the script OK. It took >25 minutes on my machine !

However, no cigar. After the reboot I still have

I'll keep looking - but not tonight. Thanks for your efforts, and for the script - I'm sure the sound will be good when I get it back!

Ian

P.S. alsa-info.sh shows this result: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8dfa358936eb9a11c1a91b73f26969fd55a53654

#405 September 16, 2009

Ok. The installation seems to be OK now. We'll get there.

Both cards are recognized by the system if you look at the log.

If you type "cat /proc/asound/cards" you'll see both devices. OK. Both modules are loaded (lsmod | grep snd): OK

snd_intel8x0 snd_usb_audio

Your second card snd-usb-audio is a camera. aplay won't tell you. OK.

Now we need to find out why aplay doesn't see your card.

I googled a bit. Try to run "alsaconf"

However, I can't find /etc/asound.state in my file system either by looking (with hidden files shown) or by searching. So does the fault lie with update-modules or with amixer?

Ian

Addendum: A more careful search reveals that in /var/lib/alsa there is a broken link to asound.state - 17 bytes of type link (broken) - which point nowhere.

Never could get the script to work. Could not get alsa-oss via snyaptic. I followed some instructions for downloading and installing lib, utils etc and it worked. ;-) My internal mic still is inop :-(. Looks like it may be a codec problem.

 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!


ian@***:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

However, I can't find /etc/asound.state in my file system either by looking (with hidden files shown) or by searching. So does the fault lie with update-modules or with amixer?

Ian

Addendum: A more careful search reveals that in /var/lib/alsa there is a broken link to asound.state - 17 bytes of type link (broken) - which point nowhere.

Interesting the link should refer to /etc/asound.state. I do that in the script. asound.state lists the general mixer settings and configs.

Let's try this.

Note type aplay -l to get to know the exact [id] in brackets of your card and replace below HDA Intel!


sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset "HDA Intel"
sudo alsactl store
cd /var/lib/alsa
sudo rm asound.state
sudo ln -s /etc/asound.state asound.state

reboot

#412 September 17, 2009

Hi soundcheck, glad you're back.

Unfortunately aplay -l does not give me a soundcard (that's the problem!). Using asound info, I obtained the following:

 ian@***:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/info
card: 0
device: 0
subdevice: 0
stream: CAPTURE
id: Intel ICH
name: SiS SI7012
subname: subdevice #0
class: 0
subclass: 0
subdevices_count: 1
subdevices_avail: 1

But, using either "SiS SI7012" or "Intel ICH" results in the same 'fail' error:

ian@***:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset "SiS SI7012"
[sudo] password for ian: 
 * Resetting ALSA card SiS SI7012...                                     [fail] 
ian@***:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset "Intel ICH"
 * Resetting ALSA card Intel ICH...                                      [fail] 
ian@***:~$

Where next?

#413 September 17, 2009

Was it working prior to the upgrade?
Perhaps you should try to run the script with "-snap" ? At least we would have a base to start talking to the alsa folks.
people were discussing to add a module option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to the driver.

Add to your module entry at the bottom of the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: option snd_intel8x0 ac97_quirk=3 index=0

and reboot. You might try 0 instead of 3 in a 2nd run.

#414 September 17, 2009

Well now,

Yes the sound worked as normal after my upgrade to Jaunty a few days ago. I can't be certain about when the sound system got broken, but I've been blindly accepting all updates to the system each day. My Synaptic log shows this:

I'm pretty sure that the sound worked OK before then.

I can try "-snap" if needed, but I don't think that's the right direction to restore connection to the sound card?

aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

I've tried those entries, using snd_intel8x0 and snd_intel8x0m and with AC97_quirk=3 and AC97_quirk=0. Each time I still get ```



Whew.  I hope this is not too much info?

Thanks again,

Ian

#415 September 17, 2009

Should it be AC'97?

NO

Whew. I hope this is not too much info?

Hmmh. ;)

I am running out of ideas. The fact that the whole thing probably started prior to the upgrade to 1.0.21 makes me feel better. There is probably nothing wrong with the script. There have been more then 200 downloads by now and no complaints so far.

#416 September 17, 2009

Hi folks.

Gotta question?

Did anybody try the script on a 64 bit installation??

No, definitely not the script at fault here, but I *was* hoping that your script might cure it - rather a vain hope I suppose.

Thank you again for all the time and effort you have put into trying to help me. I'll perhaps have to try and remove the recent "updates" to restore my sound system. First, I'll have a look at the relevant files in my back up of the Intrepid system just before the dist-upgrade, and see if I can spot any differences. Unfortunately, I never backed up Jaunty yet . . .

Wish me luck - and cheers!

Ian

#418 September 17, 2009

BTW: Do you have an /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or alsa-base.conf file?

#419 September 17, 2009

soundcheck said: BTW: Do you have an /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or alsa-base.conf file?

Only the alsa-base.conf file here. I also have the original file before I messed about with it as alsa-base.conf.bak

I assume the question was for me? :)

Ian

Addendum:

I am now seriously considering abandoning jaunty and reverting to my Intrepid image from a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, I have /home on a separate partition, and can try to restore the old system at little cost. I'm really, really tired of struggling with this. :(

#420 September 17, 2009

Hello,

After installing alsa my sound card stopped working. I was trying to get the mic to work but now nothing works. Here is a link with my info generated by alsa-info.sh

I have these packages installed - just checked it out. I'll put the lib into the script just to avoid any further problems.

Hi soundcheck, sorry that I anwsered so late, but I'm was very busy the last days..

I've run the newiest script and it works perfectly on my 64bit machine with Kernel Linux 2.6.28-15-generic

The symlinks, describe below, are not necessary.

john-parker said: hello,

checking form.h presence... yes checking for form.h... yes checking for new_panel in -lpanelw... no configure: error: panelw library not found

the solution

You will need to add those symbolics links (only if you got the error) and restart the installation from the last “sudo ./configure” :

sudo ln -s libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/libpanelw.so sudo ln -s libformw.so.5 /usr/lib/libformw.so sudo ln -s libmenuw.so.5 /usr/lib/libmenuw.so sudo ln -s libncursesw.so.5 /lib/libncursesw.so

[SOLVED] I've done a fresh clean install of Jaunty on the root partition, and carefully updated and patched in additional packages, avoiding anything that could break the sound, and so far it works. :)

No it won't. Just Debian based distros are supported.

Are Canonical going to resolve things so that this part of the system will Just Work?

#435 September 22, 2009

I'm installing right now so I'm not sure if it'll work. The current problem I'm having is volume only plays out of one side of my speakers and doesn't make use of the soundjack when plugged in.

Just to let you know. There's a typo in the instructions. It should be "-4" instead of "-3" like it is. Not too bad though I hope it works.

#438 September 24, 2009

Last night I replaced Vista with Kubuntu 9.0.4 (64 bit) on my husband's computer. The install went surprisingly fast and well -- except for audio.

Before I found this article, I found one about installing PulseAudio to "fix" the no sound issue with the SigmaTel HiDef STAC92XX sound cards, but that didn't help and probably made the situation worse. I removed the packages, but I'm not 100% sure PulseAudio is gone, since it still shows up under Systems Settings -> Multimedia.

I ran your script with no errors. I ran the -d options and the -scan options and have rebooted the computer several times. As far as I can tell, nothing is muted -- but still no sound.

I have a file containing the results of the alsa-info script and will attempt to upload it with this post.

Any suggestions? If I can't get this 64 bit version working, I'll have to scrap it and install the 32-bit version of Ubuntu Studio. My husband is a musician/composer and really needs audio and audio editing to work flawlessly.

Thanks for your assistance.

#439 September 24, 2009

My husband discovered this afternoon that we are getting sound out of the front head phone jack. We tried all seven (7) of the speaker jacks on the back side of the sound card/computer but no sound from there.

So, at least we are partially there! I will review this very long thread to see if I can glean a fix for this specific scenario.

Or, if someone wants to direct me to it or another helpful URL, I would be very grateful.

Have you tried out the gnome alsa mixer? Chances are there's just a channel muted there that you need to unmute.

Thanks for the script. After almost one year searching I have now, for the first time, real 5.1 surround sound on my Acer Aspire 8920G laptop.

#446 September 29, 2009

I haven't been able to complete the upgrade. I get as far as:

It tells me that the upgrade has been successful but when I restart I still am at version 1.0.18. still without sound coming from my built in notebook speakers. However, I can get sound to play from my headphones. I have tried numerous different model settings.

Can anyone help me with that error?

Here is what I did for the manual install: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel How can I get the system to recognize the latest version (21)?

Zoot7 said: Have you tried out the gnome alsa mixer? Chances are there's just a channel muted there that you need to unmute.

sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

I installed the Gnome Alsa Mixer this morning and discovered that no channels were muted BUT the speaker volumes were set to zero (nearly the same thing as muted). I changed the speaker volumes and amazingly I had sound coming out of my speakers. :)

Then I went on a quest to find out where kubuntu hides the autostart programs preferences. Apparently, there is no GUI (like Gnome has) to manage your autostart programs. After some research, I determined that the autostart folder in the home directory was empty, but the /usr/share/autostart folder had several script files in it.

The script that was causing the sound issue was restore_kmix_volumes.desktop. Once I removed that file from the autostart folder (and restarted the computer), the sound remained (speaker volumes were not reset to zero). I still have Kmix loading on startup, even though I also deleted it from the autostart folder, but my preliminary research indicates that's also a known issue (but can be worked around).

Thanks again for all your help.

BUMP!

How do I go backwards?

treesurf said: BUMP!

thank you! Run the script with the -r switch, worked for me. :)

Quick question for anyone in the know.. When using the -i switch where do you have to have the sources? It says under /usr/src but in my case putting the downloaded files there either extracted or not is having no effect, script still says it cant' find the alsa-driver file. The reason I ask this is that wget doesn't seem to like the proxy I'm behind.

And just as I post the question I find the answer.. All I had to do was copy the .tar.bz2 files to /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.21 and then extract them and Alsa 1.0.21 installed no problem.

Thanks again. :)

Thanks, but it did not work so well for me. Alsamixer now shows version 1.0.18, but the output of cat /proc/asound/version still shows ALSA 1.0.21. More importantly my headphone jack still does not work.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:currently trying the script to install a previous version of ALSA. We'll see how it goes...

#454 October 1, 2009

Using the previous version of the script successfully installed ALSA 1.0.20, but still no headphone functionality. I think I need to go back to the stock Jaunty version but the -r option doesn't seem to work. :(

Can I just reinstall all of the necessary ALSA packages from Synaptic, or does something need to be done with the kernel headers as well?

treesurf said: Using the previous version of the script successfully installed ALSA 1.0.20, but still no headphone functionality.

Have you tried using the alsamixer? It might just be a case of a muted channel.

sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

Using this is what got the 2nd headphone socket on my Laptop up and running.

Yes, I have tried that with no luck. It's a Lenovo Y550 with Realtek ALC272, if that's at all helpful...

#457 October 2, 2009

I'm trying your script out now, thanks! I was trying to fix the crackley left channel alsa problem on my macbook, and ended up losing sound altogether. I've spent most of the night trying to get it to work again! Such is linux...

treesurf said: Yes, I have tried that with no luck. It's a Lenovo Y550 with Realtek ALC272, if that's at all helpful...

Hmmm.. odd one. Was it working okay with 1.0.18rc3?

After a bit of googling I found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/389040 Based on that you might be better off to wait until Karmic finally comes out the gate.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance, I must confess I'm not too up on the inner workings of ALSA. :)

#459 October 2, 2009

Thanks for the info on that bug Zoot. Somehow I didn't see that in my googling.

I did have a functional headphone jack with the stock Jaunty ALSA setup, so I'll try reinstalling all of the relevant packages from Synaptic and hope that sound doesn't break completely. Hopefully this will all be cleared up in Karmic, which is only a few weeks away!

Firstly, thanks very much for the great script.

But I have a quick question... are all of the packages installed by the script using Apt just compile time dependencies? I.E. can i purge all of these after compiling and installing alsa to free up disk space?

No I don't remove the sources, kernel-headers and dev-packages after the installation. Because I am rerunning the script once in a while.

However that's actually a good idea for a new optional feature.

Everything else overwrites mainly the old stuff. There shouldn't stay a lot of redundant mess on the disk.

This is a great script, and helps find/report bugs in Alsa.

One request I have, could you please host the script on a VCS (Version Control System), such as github.com? This helps to contribute to the script, track changes, and support more Linux distributions.

No sound. My alsa driver refuses to be upgraded. It always stays at version 1.0.18 (see alsa-info attached), whil the lib & utils successfully upgrade.

I have tried the manual sudo wget + ./configure + make + make install from alsa to no avail as well.

what can I do?

Soundcheck: I ran the latest script to update Alsa on my Voyage setup. It started a full version upgrade. I didn't see anything obvious that would trigger that but it was very unsettling to see so many packages getting downloaded an installed. Even Lilo was getting installed and the system uses grub. I had run the 1.0.21-1 version and it was smooth and without drama. The 1.0.21-4 version seems to have triggered this. It also forced me to ad debian-multimedia to my sources for libmpeg4ip-dev. It will take some time for me to see what this did to the system. Any idea what might have triggered all of this?

#482 October 23, 2009

@soundcheck: Thanks for your awesome script. It's really the easiest way that I know of to setup ALSA on Ubuntu. I used it for months.

But the **latest script *AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-4.tar* doesn't work with latest updated Ubuntu 8.04.3**

Here are the steps to reproduce

[I]AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-4.sh -i AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-4.sh -r AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-4.sh -di[/I]

Using the following

Install *AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.tar*. This script works fine.
Uptade Ubuntu using the *Update Manager*. In my case I installed all available updates on October 22, 2009. One update was the Linux kernel. It's maybe related.
Restart.
Sound is no longer working. Find below screenshots to clarify errors. Those are the errors when I click on the tool bar speaker icon or click on *Test *sound button under SYSTEM > PREFERENCE SOUNDS.
Reinstall ALSA using the latest script *AlsaUpgrade-1.0.**21-4.tar.* No sound. I tried the following commands and restarting each time
Restore a fresh ALSA using *AlsaUpgrade-1.0.21-4.sh -r*
Install ALSA using the script *AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di*
Restart
Now sound is back.

I sorted out my problems with the script. There are a series of commands used to ensure the proper software is installed to run the script. In my headless environment most (all) isn't necessary. I commented out all of the downloads and changed the configure command for the driver removing the part explicitly defining the location of the kernel headers. Don't try this unless you understand what each piece does.

#484 October 26, 2009

I upgraded alsa to version 1.0.21 with this script and later decided to remove it by "sudo ./Alsa-blabla -r", it did it's thing but when I do "cat /proc/asound/version" I get this:

cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. Compiled on Oct 18 2009 for kernel 2.6.31-9-rt (SMP).

How can I get the alsa version back to 1.0.20? Thanks.

please can anybody here tell me how to follow this attached readme files installation steps..as the path given in readme file doesn't seem to exist in ubuntu also the option in "make config" command is diffrent.please someone kindly help me follow the insatllation steps.

sinc unable to attach the file i am pasting the contents over here

STEPS TO BUILD DRIVER ================================================================================

1. Backup the Config.in and Makefile in the sound driver directory (/usr/src/linux/driver/sound). The Configure.help provide help when you config driver in step 4, please backup the original one (/usr/src/linux/Document) and copy this file. The cmpci is document for the driver in detail, please copy it to /usr/src/linux/Document/sound so you can refer it. Backup if there is already one.

2. Extract the tar file by 'tar xvzf cmpci-xx.tar.gz' in the above directory.

3. Change directory to /usr/src/linux

4. Config cm8338 driver by 'make menuconfig', 'make config' or 'make xconfig' command.

5. Please select Sound Card (CONFIG_SOUND=m) support and CMPCI driver (CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI=m) as modules. Resident mode not tested. For driver option, please refer 'DRIVER PARAMETER'

6. Compile the kernel if necessary.

7. Compile the modules by 'make modules'.

8. Install the modules by 'make modules_install'

INSTALL DRIVER ================================================================================

1. Before first time to run the driver, create module dependency by 'depmod -a'

2. To install the driver manually, enter 'modprobe cmpci'.

3. Driver installation for various distributions:

a. Slackware 4.0 Add the 'modprobe cmpci' command in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file.so you can start the driver automatically each time booting.

b. Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 Use LISA to load the cmpci module.

c. RedHat 6.0 and S.u.S.E. 6.1 Add following command in /etc/conf.modules:

alias sound cmpci

also visit http://www.cmedia.com.tw for installation instruction.

DRIVER PARAMETER ================================================================================

Some functions for the cm8738 can be configured in Kernel Configuration or modules parameters. Set these parameters to 1 to enable.

spdif_loop: Enable S/PDIF loop, this route S/PDIF-in to S/PDIF-out directly. four_ch: Enable 4 channels mode, rear-out or line-in will output the same as line-out. rear_out: Enable this if you have independent rear-out jacket on your sound card, otherwise line-in will be used as rear-out. modem: You will need to set this parameter if you want to use the HSP modem. You need install the pctel.o, the modem driver itself. joystich: Enable joystick. You will need to install Linux joystick driver.

supine said: I had logged a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313369) but thanks to this script I now have sound!

Only disconcerting thing is the lack of output from the script. Those of us curious about what it is doing would love a --verbose switch so that each step is output to console.

A screen output would be nice. I ran the script and my screen blanked out (terminal screensaver is blank). I'd thought the screen was locked up until I hit the touchpad.

thanks a lot! so now I can hear the sound from my ubuntu:o)

Normally that is a Alsa source code issue rather than an AlsaUpgrade issue. Are you using -snap or you try the stable 1.0.21? You might have to try -snap for the latest and greatest of Alsa.

#498 November 20, 2009

[SIZE=2]Hello Friends.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]I do agree with you regarding sound output from Linux system, Linux does rely on the basicdrivers and utilities of common PC. So, I think some better sound driver's need to designinorder to increase performance of sound.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Thanks and stay connect.[/SIZE]

Correct. I grabbed a snap, compiled manually, and it worked under .32. I just looked in the upgrade script to see what I needed pass through to the ./configure.

You might have to try -snap for the latest and greatest of Alsa. I was using stable, I'll give -snap a shot. Thanks. EDIT: that worked.

#501 November 23, 2009

This script worked like a charm for my Nvidia MCP7A HDMI (I'm guessing that's the audio chip that ships with most Ion motherboards.) on Jaunty.

I'm using ICH958 (optical) output to my reciever, and the script gave me access to the switches 'ICH958' which enables 2ch audio for XBMC and most apps, and 'ICH958 Default PCM' which enables 6ch surround.

The only problem I ran into was that the 'ICH958' switch would uncheck itself every reboot. It took me a few hours of searching google for things like *"ALSA IEC958 switch will not survive reboot"* before I could cobble together a solution. I'd figured I would share what worked for me:

From terminal run:``` alsamixer


The next step is to save these settings.  To do so, type[SIZE=2] in terminal: [/SIZE]```
sudo alsactl store [COLOR=blue]0[/COLOR]

Now, for whatever reason, Ubuntu Jaunty does not read the /etc/asound.state file on startup. This is really stupid, and results in the gnome panel applet and 'alsamixer' settings not surviving a reboot. Jaunty is actually looking for asound.state in /var/lib/alsa/. So whenever you make changes with aslamixer and save them with alsactl, make sure to copy the asound.state file to /var/lib/alsa/. In Terminal: ``` sudo cp /etc/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

#502 November 24, 2009

Hi guys,

I don't now if it's appropriate here. But this is the case/ problem:

2 Sound cards, one on board ( disabled in BIOS)and one PCI ( SB Life platinum).

I use ALSA 1.0.20.

The problem is, that the system after every reboot puts the on board ( which I don' want to use) on position 0 and the SB on 1, so there is no sound again. If SB is on pos 0 there is sound.

How do I manage to disable the on board (Realtec) card in Xubuntu 9.10 or lock that card on position 1?

#503 November 24, 2009

Worked like a charm on the Dell Vostro 220s running Linux Mint 7

#504 November 24, 2009

Hi all,

I've run the script on an Asrock ION330. I need to get multi-channel digital audio working from the HDMI port (not the optical port). I can only seem to get 2-channel stereo working.

I will basically be using this in XBMC, and when I select digital in XBMC I get an error saying cannot initialize audio device. When I select analog in XBMC, I get stereo sound (yes through the HDMI connection).

I am running 1.0.21, confirmed. The alsamixer only shows a front right and front left channel.

Does anyone have any advice on how to enable multi-channel digital sound?

Thanks!

Robert

#511 November 26, 2009

Today it became possible for me to use the install script. Same story -- when starting to play anything, you got a very silent click and then very silent hiss. When you stop the thing that is playing, the hissing stops within 10 seconds... again with a silent click.

Has anybody else experienced this? It didn't occur before I started fiddling with the pulseaudio sound server (namely uninstalling it). Yet when I reinstalled, the problem was there and I can't get rid of it whether you have it installed or not.

Any ideas? I would be keen to try anything that doesn't require reinstalling the system :P

#512 November 27, 2009

remove the apt-get parts of this script. It's trying to install ffmpeg packages for no reason. I mean, why?

I can't upgrade the driver, cause it won't get past installing ffmpeg dev packages.

#513 November 29, 2009

Hi all, I am having a problem after upgrading my jaunty system to alsa 1.0.21. I have crystal clear sound through my creative xfi card in all apps, but when I try and launch stella for a game of classic asteroids or space invaders, I get a loud staticky buzz. Stella uses sdl, and I do have the libsdl1.2debian-alsa package installed. I also have pulseaudio completely disabled, and all sound is going through alsa. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any and all help on this problem.

Thanks,

Guy

ive succesfully upgraded to ALSA 1.0.22 but seems that I still don't get playback. I have an Auzentech X-Fi Forte and although the OS seems to detect everything and I even used the command to check the version which confirms that its 1.0.22. alsamixer also shows that all devices are unmuted with about 60% volume. and just to be sure, im not using any of the front connectors, everything is plugged directly into the soundcard.

ive been at this for about 2 days and hit a wall, ive googled everything and im not getting any leads.

Some extra background. I can hear sound through my sennheiser 161 PC headphones but what I want to do is link my audigy2 zs soundcard up to my TV via phonons speakers. This has worked previously. Video playback, navigation sounds in the gui and wav files tests fail via the phono cables but work through the headphones. Hope this helps This must be a setting somewhere? I’m assuming the phone leads from the sound card to the TV is a anloag connection attempt? And the headphones is a digital feed?

#531 December 25, 2009

I'm using an onboard sound chip (VIA VT1708S on Asus M4A785TD-V EVO). There are issues which got resolved in Alsa 1.0.22 lately.

I tried to install the newest Alsa by hand, but got nothing than a broken driver (to be exact: the driver builds fine, but I don't get any mixer controls).

I don't know if there is a problem with kernel dependencies or a flaw directly in the Alsa system.

Soundcheck ore anyone else, did you try installing Alsa 1.0.22 yet? Does anyone have similar troubles?

#532 December 25, 2009

Hi!, this is my first time in a linux forum. I'm trying to get my optical out going with no success so far. I have a M3N78-VM motherboard with the VT1708b Codec. I'm also running Linux Mint (Helena), i know it's not plain Ubuntu, but it's pretty close right?

I also downloaded and run the alsa-driver-1.0.21 script and it took a long while but finished with no errors at all, rebooted and here's a little output from alsa:

#533 December 25, 2009

In your audio program you want to specify it needs to use the 'iec958' output device (digital output). That might also be possible by fiddling with your ~/.asoundrc

There is some documentation here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut

#534 December 25, 2009

Hey Ifmusic, welcome! :)

I do own the very mobo too (Asus M3N78-VM) and I got the digital out working. In fact it works all the time, but seems to be wrongly routed.

The board has an internal digital I/O connector which is used by default. I just built a connector for it - it works flawlessly.

If it is possible for you to use a digital I/O rather than the optical one, go and get an adapter for the pins onboard (or build one yourself). Or file a bug report for the ALSA guys...

#535 December 25, 2009

I installed this script last night and have been having problems.

First some system info: -I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu (9.04) -This is on a Gateway laptop T-1631

My laptop is shutting down "randomly". Basically this came up like this:

I run this script, fine. I restart my computer, fine. I log into Ubuntu, fine. Then the problem starts: when everything is nearly loaded, it shuts down (power just cuts out). I restarted it and the problem got worse. Everytime I restart, it shut down faster and faster, until it was shutting down just 11 seconds after start up (before even getting to grub loader to allow me to choose my OS). Even if I'm in the BIOS, it will still restart.

I'm not familiar enough with the workings of this script or computer hardware to know what is going on, but this never happened before and it happened right after running this script.

Another weird thing: sometimes it starts up in windows without restarting. What I have found is that if I manage to log onto windows, I'm home free. It won't restart (as far as I know), and I have had windows up and running for about an hour (normally this problem shows up within seconds, so this leads me to believe it will run indefinietly in windows).

Ideas?

Henk Poley said: In your audio program you want to specify it needs to use the 'iec958' output device (digital output). That might also be possible by fiddling with your ~/.asoundrc

There is some documentation here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut

I'll try that...Thanks!

I do own the very mobo too (Asus M3N78-VM) and I got the digital out working. In fact it works all the time, but seems to be wrongly routed.

The board has an internal digital I/O connector which is used by default. I just built a connector for it - it works flawlessly.

If it is possible for you to use a digital I/O rather than the optical one, go and get an adapter for the pins onboard (or build one yourself). Or file a bug report for the ALSA guys...

I didn't know about that connection, but it bugs me! I shouldn't have to use other hardware (even if it's a couple of $$). I know it should work. Still, Thank you so much.

You're right! My SPDIFs outputs were muted.

Anyway, I unmuted them and nothing changed. I really don't know what to do.:confused:

You are genious I just followed the steps mentioned and it worked like a charm,

My Configurtion looks like this

#539 December 26, 2009

pravlm, the script shows ALSA 1.0.20. Are you sure it worked?

#540 December 26, 2009

there is a problem in the configure for the alsa-drivers

Log information about this would be helpful.

#541 December 26, 2009

there is a post here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/427670

that say to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic and reboot , for karmic of course. and it worked for me. that and fiddling arround with system>>preferences>>>sound lets you pick sound devices and manipulate and turn on or off most of your sound aspects.

#542 December 26, 2009

Henk Poley said: In your audio program you want to specify it needs to use the 'iec958' output device (digital output). That might also be possible by fiddling with your ~/.asoundrc

There is some documentation here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut

Thanks for this link, it was quite useful :P, now I'm in a new stage:

I have audio but only Stereo.... The thing that caught my attention is that my A/V Reciever (a Sony DTS capable system) won't recognize the type of stream coming in. It does sound, but only stereo.

I tried forcing mplayer to use 6 channels but still STEREO all over the place! Any ideas?

UPDATE: this is the output from amixer:


Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [off]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [off]
[B]Simple mixer control 'IEC958',1
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on][/B]

When I go to the alsamixer I see 3 SPDIF channels but the one that's actually the spdif optical output is the "SPDIF 1"

Thanks!

#543 December 27, 2009

Digital outputs are always in stereo only. This is a limitation of all digial I/O ports, only 2 channels are supported. So your problem is: You can either send a stereo signal of an encoded multichannel stream (ac3/dts) or live with stereo output.

But: There is a way to tell the Alsa system to upmix 2ch to 5.1/7.1 and encode them the very same time in ac3. You'll find it somewhere in the forums.

Wait, you're saying that Digital outputs are always stereo, no matter driver, OS, audio track... always stereo???

When I play hiDef movies in Windows my Sony Sound System recognizes the incoming audio streams and says.. "DTS 5.1 3+2...PCM...,etc" in Linux, it reports nothing. I don't think the windows driver is doing some upmix, It should be doing some pass-through, that's what I actually need, right?

Thanks!!!!

#545 December 27, 2009

No, I'm saying that the datarate a digital connection is able to transmit isn't enough for multichannel PCM. If you want to transmit multichannel audio, you have to send a packed bitstream.

When playing back movies you have to ensure that the system uses the passthrough mode (the stream must not be tempered with in any way). On the other hand when playing plain music, you have to make sure the audio output is upmixed and packed into a stream (or let your receiver do it). I know this possible but didn't set it up myself yet.

#546 December 27, 2009

Hello soundcheck, :)

Thank you so much for creating this how to thread and the Alsa upgrade script! It was very straight forward and simple to do. Updating Alsa with your script corrected a problem for me that to the best of my knowledge was created by what I believe to be a Ubuntu 9.04 update for Alsa put out at the end of November that would no longer allow me to record just the line input of my sound card.

If you are curious, you can read the details of this issue on my thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8566677

I could use some help.

I used to run ubuntu on my desktop and loved it. So I turned my friend over to it and we are trying to get it running and I can not get the sound to work on his macbook.

I downloaded the newest version on the first post version number 1.0.21.4

This is what I am doing from the first post it looks like I have to type to get into my directory that I downloaded the file to. thats in: cd /home/*myusername*/Desktop

it then goes to my directory for the desktop

Now I copy and past the test from the first post and it says its running the update tool and this will take less than 15 min.

then after like 5 seconds it comes back up to where I can type in my terminal again.

So I restart like it tells me to and then still nosound... I am really new and I have read the last couple pages on this thread to see if anything has changed and I can't see where it has, If some one could help me please it would be greatly appriciated he really wants to use ubuntu but not if hes gana have problems with the sound lol.

#548 December 28, 2009

Hello AaronsDarts, :)

I'm no expert myself, even though I've been using Linux for many years now. But I suggest you read through soundcheck's instructions thoroughly. I had to do so a few times myself to absorb all the information, and picked up a few things I missed the first time through.

Start by following the instructions under "Test and Troubleshooting" in soundcheck's first post. This will get you started, to find out what the issue is.

The script worked great! Thx! Sound now worx for OpenArena.

Ubuntu rocks! I wish i could use it at work as well.

#553 December 29, 2009

It would be really useful to update the initial post with the new script working for alsa 1.0.22 or maybe start a new thread.

Also the script might need to be updated to alsa 1.0.22.1

Anyway thanks for the great work!

Yes, I can verify that the script currently installs Alsa 1.0.21. As 1.0.22.1 was already released when I used the script. Although it fixed my problem, so I'm not complaining. I'm sure soundcheck will update this thread and the script when time permits.

GiveLove

#555 January 1, 2010

Is it just me, or is 1.0.22.1 compiling as 1.0.21? I've tried both this script (updated to reflect the newest versions), and downloading right from the website and compiling the stuff myself manually, and yet cat /proc/asound/version reports as 1.0.21 (on the other hand, alsamixer is 1.0.22).

I even tried again about half an hour ago, and this is what I get:


$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
Compiled on Dec 11 2009 for kernel 2.6.31-17-generic (SMP).

According to it, I compiled it three weeks ago.

Am I missing something? Sound does work and all, but it still strikes me as an odd thing to happen.

#556 January 1, 2010

Thanks soundchek for your instructions. I received my hp dv6-2030sa lap top with win 7 yesterday. I installed ubuntu this morning and was struggling to get the sound working. Followed your instructions and sound is back!!! Now every thing I want with the laptop works!

#557 January 3, 2010

This thread was linked to my by "spiderbatdad." I have to say, it saved me from the torrent of nerd rage I was in all day. Thanks for the script soundcheck.

#558 January 4, 2010

Hi folks.

Sorry for being away for such a long time.

I am in the process to update the script. It's actually done already. I just need to do some more testing. I wasn't looking very much into the subject since new opportunities to update Alsa popped up.

Meanwhile a side/repo appeared where you might want to download ready made packages: Alsa Packages

Another idea would be to load newer Ubuntu kernels from a ppa somewhere. This will you also provide newer drivers than standard Ubuntu repos.

However. The newest and most up2date stuff you'll still get by running the script.

Cheers

#559 January 4, 2010

The PPA in your link also has the kernels from Lucid Lynx so you can install those to make sure ALSA will work ok (and it also has the latest pulseaudio).

#560 January 4, 2010

Ubuntu: Karmic Kernel: 2.6.28-14-generic Alsa: 1.0.22 Script: 1.0.21-4

Definitely something odd going on with my laptop. Prior to upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic sound worked fine with the Alsa Upgrade script. Since updating neither the script nor the packages from the repository get me all the way to working. Sound works in KDE, and will work in mplayer if I set it to use OSS. Set to ALSA sound doesnt work. It also doesn't work in mozilla flash plugin. Aplay doesnt see any sound cards.

alsa-info log attached.

#561 January 5, 2010

Hi folks.

I just uploaded the script with 1.0.22.1 support. I changed quite a lot. I hope it is a bit more convenient to use and safer now. Have a look at the -h option (help) first I changed the workflows slightly. There won't be a log under /var/log anymore.

I also tried to improve the "restore" process. I faced also a "no soundcard found" issue after a restore on a 2.6.28 kernel on a test machine. Recompiling and installing the original alsa modules with module-assistant solved the issue. Somehow reinstalling all original packages didn't work out. I introduced the process to the script. If anybody has a better idea let me know.

Hint: If aplay can't see your soundcard and alsa is up, try to load the module manually. E.g.: sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel You'll get a message and usually an entry in dmesg. Type dmesg and look up what it says at the end.

Let me know if it works.

Good luck.

Cheers

#562 January 5, 2010

1.0.22.1 upgrade script worked without a hitch (that I noticed anyway)! Thanks!

Analog sound still works, spdif still doesn't (will start a new thread for that)...

#563 January 5, 2010

Hi soundcheck, some questions/requests-

Please remove libavutil49 as a prerequisite. It causes the script to fail on Hardy/8.04, where the package is called libavutil1d. Installing libavutil-dev will get the appropriate libavutil library package.

Is there a reason for installing python-all-dev instead of just python-dev? For example, on Karmic, it installs python2.5 stuff. Is this needed?

Thanks.

Hmmh. Non of my systems complained

I updated the script anyhow.

Honestly - I can't remember why I put them in in the past - I guess there must have been a reason.

Anyhow - the mentioned dependencies are out resp. changed now. I guess it won't be wrong.

Thx for the feedback.

Cheers

I have managed to Download / Compile / Install the upgrade, but still no sound, and now i cant log in to Gnome (Xfce still works)

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f31c932fe24d1ad6a8d67189eb2e984f03545be8

i have a VIA VT82xx based onboard card

any ideas as to what has gone wrong ? from the log i noticed that the driver version was still 1.0.20 is this correct ? i wonder why that didnt update ? can i force it some how ?

cheers

#566 January 6, 2010

Works for me just fine. Thanks!

Your driver is still 1.0.20 according to the log! ???? Something went wrong during the upgrade.

I ran the upgrade on 4 different Gnome setups with no issues. Do we face a potential pulseaudio issue in your case?

SPDIF problems are usually related to wrong alsamixer settings or missing model-id specification for your module - IF SPDIF is supported of course!

#569 January 6, 2010

Works great on a Acer Aspire One ZG5 running Easy Peasy 1.5 (Ubuntu 8.10) uses alsa 1.0.17

I haven't gone through the whole thread so if this has been posted. Sorry. But I feel I should share on how I did it.

Made 2 folders in /home called Backup and Alsa.
Placed alsa-base in Backup folder and named it alsa-base backup.
Downloaded all 3 files in original post to Alsa Folder.
Copied and pasted relevant instructions from post one into a text file and named it Read Me and saved in Alsa Folder also.

Proceeded with install (I use nautilus scripts for opening terminal in a file) and answered yes to all warnings and questions.

download the script and save it somewhere
cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -d
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -c
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -i
sudo shutdown -r 0

Long and scary terminal readouts later. Rebooted and half of the controls I had in Alsa mixer were gone. Was kinda concerned, but it was unwarranted. Maxed out Controls on recording. Which usually gave me a loud scratching noise or screech. None of that business now though.

Test call in Skype and sound recorder passed with flying colors. You rock Soundcheck.:popcorn:

Where the heck is the Thank You button at Least? Now to try this in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on my IBM M57 Desktop so I can use the Logitech C120m Webcam my wife bought me for Christmas.

Edit; Maybe not?

In the current release I actually enabled the "readouts" again. Before I had them disabled and everything routed to a log file.

No idea what you guys prefer!?!?

#571 January 7, 2010

I just have one thing to say? Very thanks!!!

It worked perfectly for my card:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

My problem was the headphone was not being detected when plugged. When plugged, the sound from external speakers didn't stop.

Now I'm just not 100% sure the update did the job or a change I had made in the mixer did it (or maybe both?). :P

Under gnome, I entered Sound Preferences, selected the Output tab and changed the option Connector from 'Analog Speaker' to 'Analog Output'.

See the window:

Well, that's it... Hope that helps...

Most probably, the update of Alsa was the reason why now the headphones work properly. A big issue with sound cards is the support for 'jack sensing', which is the ability for the audio driver to understand when your headphone is connected. This process requires some testing, so you always needs the latest Alsa to verify if it works.

#573 January 7, 2010

I prefer the readout. Just mentioned it in case a very new user tries it out and panicks(example;the warnings). Acer Aspire Netbooks are usually (at least lately) only Windows. Was mentioned like a said for a Windows user that just migrated to Ubuntu. No offence intended.

If you're running pulseaudio (which comes in a default Ubuntu install), you might want to kill it if you're trying to use ALSA hardware directly for diagnosis.

sudo killall pulseaudio

#577 January 8, 2010

Thanks for the advice. I tried it, but it didn't work. So I removed all pulseaudio packages. And compiles ALSA again.

My Configuration:

Fresh Ubuntu 8.04.3, Intel DP55WG Motherboard, 4 GB RAM, I think ALC889 onboard soundcard.

IF I download the alsa-driver, alsa-lib & alsa-util i can compile and install it, but sound don't work

I configure with: sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes

than make; make install

Also no Problem for lib and utils! But sound won't work :-(

Help meeeeeeeee :-)

Hello, I have a MacBook6,1 and no sound :(

I tried running this script, with and without the -s option to get the latest snapshot, and I still have no sound. Here is my data:

Ubuntu 9.10
Linux 2.6.31-17-generic
ALSA 1.0.22
Script revision 1.0.22.1-2
All I've done so far is run this script.
The log for alsa-info is attached.

I've noticed that since I've run the script, if I do aplay -l nothing shows up!

In any case, thank you soundcheck for providing the script. I really appreciate it, even if I haven't solved my problem yet!

#580 January 10, 2010

Hi I am having a nightmare with trying to get any sound on my fresh install of Ubuntu 910 on a new laptop....

Does this look ok to you? I am trying to get sound by editing: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd slots=snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel [COLOR="Red"]model=STAC9200[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Red"]Model-STAC9200[/COLOR] was taken from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubunt...figuration.txt) with reference to roughly the same laptop as mine....Panasonic CF F8

Any ideas? Thanks!! Should it be written like I did, i.e. model=STAC9200?

The upgrade went well, though I wasn't expecting to huge volume of downloads required (python,ruby,tex-live stuff)

I have an Asus EB1012 Nettop. Global volume output is much lower than on Windows 7 which I dual boot with, and also much lower than my previous system.

I have pulseaudio removed on all systems, but would like to do something like this:

http://blog.dipinkrishna.info/2009/08/increase-system-wide-sound-volume-in.html

I already have an .asoundrc file with the following settings to get multiple sounds.

pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "dmix:NVidia" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "dsnoop:NVidia" } } [EDIT] this doesn't currently work as all the sound is coming out of "Front", nothing comes out of PCM, so need help there too.

Do I need an asound.conf as well and how would I apply the idea in the link, without pulseaudio?

Thanks

Jose

I don't want to detract from people connecting to resolve their problems, but I just have to say a HUGE THANK YOU for this script. I've got a PCI SoundBlaster Live!, an Augidy & a USB Plantronics Bluetooth installed. My system audio was fine, but all my music apps ran poorly or not at all. Now everything seems to work fine. I ran the script (as per the instructions on the screen). It worked perfectly. Everything works great now. It's like magic. Thank you!

I really underestimated magnitude of the script. I doubt that this is why you wrote these, but I'm EXTREMELY impressed. This really helps to keep 'where I am' in perspective, on the road to Ubuntu enlightenment. :D This was many miles over MY head. Thanks again.

Does this look ok to you? I am trying to get sound by editing: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd slots=snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel [COLOR="Red"]model=STAC9200[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Red"]Model-STAC9200[/COLOR] was taken from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubunt...figuration.txt) with reference to roughly the same laptop as mine....Panasonic CF F8

Any ideas? Thanks!! Should it be written like I did, i.e. model=STAC9200?

Try model=panasonic (though this is for a cf-74, also have a look at the HD-AUDIO-MODELS.txt doc in the first post)

I tried running this script, with and without the -s option to get the latest snapshot, and I still have no sound. Here is my data:

Ubuntu 9.10
Linux 2.6.31-17-generic
ALSA 1.0.22

All I've done so far is run this script.
The log for alsa-info is attached.

I've noticed that since I've run the script, if I do aplay -l nothing shows up!

In any case, thank you soundcheck for providing the script. I really appreciate it, even if I haven't solved my problem yet!

Try to turn off pulseaudio, first.

#587 January 10, 2010

Hi soundcheck.

I'd already run your script with the -r option to revert to my previous configuration.

After seeing your reply I turned off pulseaudio using instructions from this post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8264615&postcount=2

Then I tried to run your script again, using the standard workflow (-d, -c, -i). Everything seemed fine, but after I shutdown and started up again, the output of ``` cat /proc/asound/version


I don't understand this because the script worked yesterday.

I just experienced the same behaviour on my machine. 
No idea yet what's wrong there. I am checking it out.

Background: The "restore" done by the script  is not a 100% save way
            to restore your old configuration. It is always better to do 
            a restore from a real backup if something goes wrong.

#591 January 11, 2010

Thank you, this finally solved my suffering of not having sound.

I have a Dell Vostro 1014 with Ubuntu 9.04.

#592 January 11, 2010

For those having issues with Hardy, maybe configure snd-dummy driver to use system clock instead of hrtimer:

Module snd-dummy
  ----------------

    Module for the dummy sound card. This "card" doesn't do any output
    or input, but you may use this module for any application which
    requires a sound card (like RealPlayer).

    pcm_devs       - Number of PCM devices assigned to each card
                     (default = 1, up to 4)
    pcm_substreams - Number of PCM substreams assigned to each PCM
                     (default = 8, up to 128)
    hrtimer        - Use hrtimer (=1, default) or system timer (=0)
    fake_buffer    - Fake buffer allocations (default = 1)

#593 January 11, 2010

Hello!

Thank you. Its really great job. Anyway, I've upgraded ALSA and it solved my problem only to some degree. I'm using M-Audio Fast Track USB soundcard - only to listen music. Sometimes everything works. Unfortunately, very often, when my computer is not very busy I hear crackle and detune(!).

When I minimize or maximize any window I hear good sound DURING its animation.
When I press FN + arrow up (volume up) it sounds good as far as the volume indicator in right hand upper corner is visible. I can hold those keys and it still sounds good. Once the indicator dissapears my soundcard starts to crackle.

hope its not offtopic?

Best Regards

#594 January 12, 2010

This worked for me, I ran the script. But damn, it was downloading stuff for 30 minutes 300kb/s. What was going on? Felt like my computer has gotten taken over. I did not log it.

I don't think so. When I download and install the driver manually I can compile it and install. Without errors !!!

But ! When I take a look with cat /proc/asound/version I become:

Fixed this thanks to help from Vertexpusher.

.asoundrc looks like this

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm {
        type asym
        playback.pcm "dmix:NVidia"
        capture.pcm "dsnoop:NVidia"

}

and I had to recheck/reset all my sound device settings in Audacious.

Still no fix for low global sound volume, will just have to turn up to 11 :)

#601 January 16, 2010

I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a medion notebook md96218. No sound on internal speakers and jack (not muted). However, I had sound on my logitech usb-headset. My conclusion: a driver problem for my internal sound processor (which is a hda-intel with sigmatel codec) Am I right? To be sure I ran your update-script and restarted my notebook. Alsa is succesfully upgraded, but still no sond on internal speakers and jack (not muted). So you're update script is working, but was not a solution for my problem unfortunately so I'm going to try to find another solution. (kubuntu 9.04 didn't work either for me) Best regards, Bart

#602 January 16, 2010

Hi there,

First: great job with this script, you have made many people happy.

Second: I was able to successfully run the script following your instructions.

Third: , I have gone from not listen anything through HDMI to listen audio as what happens with scratched Audio CD's. When I run 'aplay' after installation of script, I think playback hangs .

I have searched over 60 pages of this thread but have not found similar issue.

Some recommendation???, i do not know what to do ...

This is part of the log when i run alsa-info.sh

#603 January 16, 2010

Hi soundcheck. I've got sound on my MacBook 6,1!

I tried uninstalling ALSA and installing OSS4 in its place but that didn't work, so I used your script again (using -d, -s, -c, -i). The install was successful -- I checked with ``` cat /proc/asound/version


When I do ```
aplay -l

alsamixer


Then I found this site:

[http://moosesoom.blogspot.com/2009/12/asus-k50ij-x5dij-audio-english.html](http://moosesoom.blogspot.com/2009/12/asus-k50ij-x5dij-audio-english.html)

which suggested this as a fix:

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-17-generic


and now sound is working!

Curiously, when I do ```
cat /proc/asound/version

#604 January 17, 2010

After reading about typical issues about sound and alsa driver i do the following and it works!!!... (maybe since the beginning I never had any problem, duh! )

1) Restore driver to 1.0.20 $ sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -r

2) Check my card sound and device to set default in alsa driver $ sudo aplay -l

Result

** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] <- I want this by default!! Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

2) Edit alsa.conf to change default card $ sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

and Change this defaults.ctl.card 0 -> defaults.ctl.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 0 -> defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.device 1 -> defaults.pcm.device 3

3) Test sound $ aplay <<a-sound-file.wav>>

And It works...!!!

My pc configuration

-> Asus M4A 785TD-M EVO -> Mythubuntu 9.10

Anyway the script rocks!!

Hello and thanks for taking the time to write a script that even a novice like me can follow. I have just installed Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 and am having problems with the sound output. I carefully followed your guide and I still have no sound. I believe it is because the driver is not loading. When I look in sound preferences the is no listing with (alsa) in the description which I have seen on many of the post I have read. The problem is I dont know why. I have seen reference to pulse audio messing things up but I dont know how to determine that. My setup is a Acer Revo 3610, it is for the purpose of running XBMC. I have tried installing the live version of XBMC and following numerous guides/advice with no resolution to my problem. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Update: I can hear audio in XBMC but can get pcm through hdmi also the audio is distorted when playing mp3's......

#607 January 18, 2010

Thanks for your upgrade script, after some work I finally got the update to alsa 1.0.22...

But I still have a weird problem and I would really appreciate if you have a solution for this since searching for it did not help very much. I have an Asus M4A78 Pro mainboard with VIA1708S onboard soundchip (analog 5.1 output). The sound works kind of, but as soon as I have multiple sources only one of them will work. For example, if I have amarok running, dragonplayer will not give any sound. If I am listening to sound on youtube, amarok wont work. The only thing that always works like charm is vlc. And I dont have any clue why that is.

Do you have any idea what I could do to make this work flawlessly?

Thanks in advance!

Your question goes beyond the scope of this thread. On the first glance this has nothing to do with the upgrade.

Perhaps you open up another thread.

So - Alsa is working in general that is fine.

You are bringing up an interesting subject I need to look into. HDMI audio via graphic cards.

Can you please contribute an alsa-info.sh output! ( Instructions are in the first post of this thread)

#610 January 19, 2010

I just ran the 1.0.22.1 upgrade script and all steps ran with no apparent problems. However, my ALSA driver is now showing that it is version 1.0.21 (it was previously 1.0.20, so it is a step in the right direction. The other parts do show as version 1.0.22. Do I still need to fix something?

I am attaching the output of the alsa-info script.

Thanks for a great script. Yesterday, I had downloaded the latest ALSA from the ALSA Wiki, but as I got into reading the installation instructions, I became thoroughly lost. I could not have done it without your script.

Thank you, Tim

PS - I can play media files with vlc, but I am no longer getting sound from YouTube (Flash) video

Driver version: 1.0.21 Library version: 1.0.22 Utilities version: 1.0.22

Everything was working well until I decided I just had to upgrade ALSA from 1.0.20 to 1.0.22.1. I have not changed anything since running the ALSA upgrade script. I am trying to wait for knowledgeable help.

AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh
Speakers and headset speakers have worked from the beginning but when I use the headset mic with Gizmo (Google Voice) there is so much static that no one can understand me. Same with Skype.

I ran the script and the -s option as well with no improvement. Same equipment works fine on the Windows XP side. I have fiddled with the Mixer settings without success. Nothing seems to get rid of the mic noise. If I can't use Google Voice, I'll need to stay on the Windows side which will be most unfortunate.

alsa-info log attached.

Thanks for any help you may offer on this excellent thread.

ratcheer said: I just ran the 1.0.22.1 upgrade script and all steps ran with no apparent problems. However, my ALSA driver is now showing that it is version 1.0.21 (it was previously 1.0.20, so it is a step in the right direction. The other parts do show as version 1.0.22. Do I still need to fix something?

Driver version: 1.0.21 Library version: 1.0.22 Utilities version: 1.0.22

Everything was working well until I decided I just had to upgrade ALSA from 1.0.20 to 1.0.22.1. I have not changed anything since running the ALSA upgrade script. I am trying to wait for knowledgeable help.

Name your Ubuntu revision - 9.10
Kernel revision - 2.6.31-17-generic
Alsa revision - mixed:
Upgrade script revision - 1.0.22.1
A bit of background what you've done resp. done before -

Any ideas why the 1.0.22.1 upgrade script updated my system to 1.0.21? The specific script I ran is AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh

Thank you. Tim

#614 January 20, 2010

ratcheer/Tim, can you try the script again and log the process this time?


sudo script -a -c "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -d" /tmp/Alsa_1.0.22.1_upgrade.log
sudo script -a -c "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -c" /tmp/Alsa_1.0.22.1_upgrade.log
sudo script -a -c "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -i" /tmp/Alsa_1.0.22.1_upgrade.log

Then, attach the log.

#617 January 20, 2010

I looked through the scripts and everything checks out. After reboot, is cat /proc/asound/version still reporting 1.0.21?

#618 January 20, 2010

Yes. This is after rebooting:

cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. Compiled on Dec 11 2009 for kernel 2.6.31-17-generic (SMP).

Someone said in this thread that he only got his to work by first removing PulseAudio and ALSA, then running the ALSA upgrade script. Do you think I need to try that?

Tim

#619 January 20, 2010

I think something might be wrong with the script's installation step, more specifically, with the kernel module(s) location.

#620 January 20, 2010

Thank you for all of this work. It ran smoothly on my AMD Athlon 64 HP Pavilion laptop, and I think you bypassed all the work I had been doing to try to get my TASCAM US-122 working on this computer. As soon as I ran your script and plugged in, the green lights are glowing.

I think I'm near the end now of a long and arduous road, but not quite - I still have no sound coming in from the card.

JACK lists it under system and under ALSA in the connect window, but under the alsa connect window if you click on it you only see the midi inputs. I want to use it as a sound capture device as well, and that doesn't seem to be happening yet. Nor am I successful in using it to capture sounds using ARECORD.

I just feel like there is a switch somewhere I have not yet found that needs to be turned "on". Please help. I'm so looking forward to this low cost, low latency lappy!

AsRock ION330 Using Karmic Koala 9.10 upgraded from rc1 to latest Kernel 2.6.31.17-generic Alsa 1.0.20 Upgrade script 1.0.22.1-2

Originally I couldn't get sound through HDMI, by unmuting iec958 1 & 2 I now have sound is everything I could test, except still no flash sound. I'm hoping this will help. If not, no harm done, and I'll have the latest alsa.

Did you have Synaptic or some other package manager open while running the script? The errors look like you're missing libncurses5-dev and/or libncursesw5-dev package(s).

Just the Terminal, booted Ubuntu this morning for the sole purpose of posting the error. Any other reasons to be missing the libncurses* files? (And out of curiosity, what do they do?)

ratcheer, any luck?

Nothing yet. Thanks for asking.

Tim

#634 January 28, 2010

I might be stating the obvious, nevertheless, I did a quick search for libncurses*, they're installed. The description states they're shared libraries for Terminal. By having the Terminal open in X, am I effectively locking this files as read-only? I'm just guessing here, I do not have a lot of linux experience...

Is there a 'proper' way to be running this script?

Pulseaudio broke my Karmic install (Netbook Remix on Asus eeepc 1005HA) when i had the audacity to install the Pulseaudio controller in order to get my internal mic to work. Spent hours trying a wide variety of solutions and was preparing to borrow a friend's windows machine to make a bootable usb and total install. Thankfully I found this! Worked like a charm. System sounds, VLC, Skype, Rythmnbox.

Eternal thanks! -evan-

The Alsa 1.0.22. upgrade script worked for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on my Acer 4736 (ICH9 Audio)

It works fine most of the time but sometimes hangs / stutters. Still better than no sound at all.

Thanks a lot for all the info especially for the upgrade script.

Forget to mention: I compiled with "cards=hda-intel" instead of "cards=all". Was giving some compilation errors other wise

#638 February 1, 2010

Many many many thanks. I had no sound on my Pavilion dv6 and now my speakers work. Will test headphones and HDMI output later.

I really appreciate, thank you!

#639 February 5, 2010

thanks for this upgrade script.. it makes life a lot easier. i've already used it twice.. to upgrade to 1.0.21 and now to 1.0.22.1 both of the upgrades fixed sound issues for me.... but also brought new ones lol!

right now i can't hear flash videos in firefox if have another app such as rhythmbox or songbird playing audio.. but if i open a flash video and start listening first, then i can't hear anything on rhythmbox..

so it's either one or the other... weird....

#640 February 6, 2010

Great script, thanks! Between that and some other hacking I've now got the HDMI audio out working on my nVidia G210.

I noticed that you don't have any hooks to set up parallel make, so I quickly modified the script to add a $MAKEFLAGS variable after each call to make' for compilation. To use, just set MAKEFLAGS appropriately before running the script (I used MAKEFLAGS=-j6' to run six jobs; your best results will depend on the number of available processors). Nothing complicated, but I had to run the compilation a few times while I was getting the nVidia patches sorted, so figured I may as well shave a little time off.

RELEVANT DETAIL: I believe you'll need to export' MAKEFLAGS, and run the script with sudo -E'.

Followed the instructions to the dot, everything went through just fine. Did the 'aplay' and 'speaker-test' - sound is working. No errors or issues reported in the alsa-info file.

However... clicks, pops, scratches, crackling and interference type of noise that I had prior to upgrade are still there, exactly the same as before...

Any ideas are more than welcome. All I'm trying to do is have the well behaved dedicated XBMC machine.

Cheers, Mike

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!

Nope, works perfectly with XP and even in Win7 with XP drivers installed.

Lurking around various forums, I noticed this has been reported a few times, and always blamed on outdated ALSA kit in the Ubuntu 9.10. This was the first thread where I found the upgrade instructions easy enough for me to follow (1000000 thanks to the thread starter!), and even saw another XBMC user (bottom of 1st page) that seem to have had the same issue, successfully resolved with upgrade.

Grrr... this is so annoying... Linux XBMC Camelot 9.11 works PERFECTLY on this ancient PC, well, except for the sound, that is. Such a pity.

JohnnyJonJon said: Awesome!

I'd love to. I'd have tons of ideas you'd love to see. ;)

1st thing I'd do - introducing a monthly update of the drivers and disconnect Alsa from the kernel revision handling.

2nd. Cleanup of Alsa integration. The amixer/Alsamixer/Gnome mixer is more then inconsistent and a mess to work with.

Pulseaudio would be dropped - making it optional as Jack. This parasite app is causing issues all the the time.

There shouldn't be any need to touch the command line! This is not possible today.Things like editing an alsa-base file to introduce a model-id I consider deepest stoneage. (Alsa says this is task of the distro work!)

The Alsa guys try their best. But for sure they lack resources and structures to get the whole thing under control. Think about it - the Alsa guys are (wild guess) 1-2 years behind the market. Ubuntu another 6month to a year. We're talking about a delay of up to 3 years for certain soundcardsupport in total (if we see support for certain soundcards at all). Linux support comes at the same time as the EndOfLife announcement by the manufacturer (for certain cars).

The general soundcard support (cards and features) must be heavily improved.

This will keep people away from Linux! ( M. Shuttleworth are you listening? ;) )

to get 5. under control. IMO Manufacturers would be more open to join the club.

Allow restricted/proprietary drivers as done with graphic cards

Anyhow. Let's stop this. I'd rather try to improve my script instead of making too much noise. :D

Cheers

#655 February 13, 2010

After upgrading my Kubuntu Karmic box a little hastily from KDE 4.3 to 4.4 my system no longer recognises my sound card.

I've had to add a few packages to make the script work but I finally got to reboot. However, KDE 4.4 is still not recognising my sound card.

Following the advice at SoundTroubleshooting I find the following:

aplay -l aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

then

!!Loaded ALSA modules !!-------------------

!!Sound Servers on this system !!----------------------------

No sound servers found.

!!Soundcards recognised by ALSA !!-----------------------------

!!PCI Soundcards installed in the system !!--------------------------------------

From that I assume I need to start the server and load the modules. The only problem is that I don't know how. If anyone can help out while I'm searching I'd appreciate it.

Edit: On further investigation it gets worse.

Hi from France,

I own an Apple iMac late 2009. I need to run the upgrade script if I want to hear something. The script works very fine until today.

I loose sound this day for an unknow reason. I run the 3 stages of the script -d > -c > i

Nothing run. I have no Master canal, nor PCM, nothing except S/DPIF if I run alsamixer !!!

My ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eb2df86150e550d8b416b939359173161a4de247

Somebody can Help me ?

sx1 said: Hi from France,

I own an Apple iMac late 2009. I need to run the upgrade script if I want to hear something. The script works very fine until today.

I loose sound this day for an unknow reason. I run the 3 stages of the script -d > -c > i

Nothing run. I have no Master canal, nor PCM, nothing except S/DPIF if I run alsamixer !!!

My ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eb2df86150e550d8b416b939359173161a4de247

Somebody can Help me ?

I found the solution : need to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-*generic.

That's not needed with alsa 1.0.21 but required with 1.0.22. Why ?

#662 February 17, 2010

I hope this hasn't been covered, I didn't have the patience to read the whole thread.

I have been having sound trouble with a VIA VT1708B 8-ch onboard sound card. The front audio jack which I normally use doesn't work, and the rear jacks are very weak.

So I tried to run the script, and it seems to work fine except that the alsa version doesn't change (using cat /proc/asound/version). I've tried it a few times, most of them with the -s option, and restarted every time, it's no use. The output stays the same the whole time:

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
Compiled on Jan 28 2010 for kernel 2.6.31-19-generic (SMP).

I have no idea what else to do. Any pointers?

#663 February 20, 2010

In order to get the upgrade from alsa 1.0.21 to 1.0.22.1 to take effect, I had to remove linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-19-generic and linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic

#667 February 24, 2010

hello,

last few weeks I'm trying to google out a solution for my eee T91 where I need realtime kernel for live sound processing. I have tried many distros with many configurations, I build my own rt kernels, I also build my own alsa. Despite all that I always stuck with a not loud but noise going to the output.

I know it's not the hardware issue because when I installed old eeebuntu with generic kernel it was ok. Now I have exelent ubuntu branch pure:dyne with kernel 2.6.31-9-rt, alsa 1.0.22.1

The weird thing is that the noise goes much louder through left side.

thanks

Thank you. My EMU 0202 now works. I've spent two years rebooting into Windows to listen to audio through this. Now I can stay in Kubuntu and listen to audio.

Hi all!

I can't get 1.0.22 to be installed, version is still 1.0.20. I have no any backports modules installed, so above fix doesn't work for me.

I ran script several times, with different modes, cleaning downloaded sources, installing modules and kernel from repository - no luck, cat /proc/asound/version still contains:

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20. Compiled on Mar 4 2010 for kernel 2.6.31-19-generic (SMP).

Why it doesn't install or not compile appropriate driver?

p.s. tools and libs are of 1.0.22 version:

You need to run the script again with -i option.

#678 March 6, 2010

Temüjin said: You need to run the script again with -i option.

No, I fixed the problem.

There were old drivers, located in /lib/modules/<kernel>/updates directory, which has higher priority then standard modules location. This modules was installed by some package, named like alsa-modules-<kernel> - forgot its exact name. So I removed the module, moving out old stuff from way, now 1.0.22.1 is loaded.

To find "wrong" modules I searched under /lib/modules/<kernel> by a module's name. In my case it is 'snd-hda-intel.ko'.

UPD. To find package name, containing a specific file (in our case - kernel's module), use command: dpkg -S <file_name> It will list packages, having <file_name>

How can I fix this ?

Flash *only* uses the first ALSA sound card. If your system has two sound cards, the first one ALSA sees is often (usually?) the wrong one. To get ALSA to use your preferred sound card first, you have to add code to alsa-base.conf to force the wrong sound card to be second. E.g., on my system, the code is:


options snd_intel8x0 index=1

The script should have installed the necessary headers (i.e. -dev packages). Perhaps you had Synaptic or Update Manager open while running the script. Make sure you have libncurses5-dev package installed.

I'm sure the ALSA devs would be happy to fix what appears to be a regression bug in their code, and it could help others with similar hardware.

soundcheck said: Latest post update 01/11/2010

Latest Alsa-Upgrade-Script update 01/06/2010 Rev. 1.0.22.1-2 Latest alsa-info.sh update 01/05/2010 (1.0.22) Latest Alsa-Package update: 09/05/2010 (1.0.22.1)

_BACKGROUND:_

The audio functionality of any computer system belongs to the very basic functions of a PC and OS. No sound, poor sound, limited functionality - No use for such a system!

The main idea behind upgrading ALSA with attached script is to make Linux available to a slightly wider community.

The script bridges the huge delay (up to a year) of Alsa updates supplied through the official channels. By running the upgrade you'll have a much bigger chance to get your soundcard working or problems resolved.

The script installs the latest official stable ALSA release. ( optional the even more up 2 date driver snapshot will be installed)

_Upgraded packages_

Alsa 1.0.22.1 (stabil)

See: Changelog Alsa 1.0.22.1

DRIVER=alsa-driver-1.0.22.1 FIRMWARE=alsa-firmware-1.0.20 LIB=alsa-lib-1.0.22 PLUGINS=alsa-plugins-1.0.22 UTILS=alsa-utils-1.0.22 TOOLS=alsa-tools-1.0.22 OSS=alsa-oss-1.0.17

Supported kernels: 2.6.24/26/27/28/29/30/31/32 family (including rt-kernel & NON-Ubuntu ZEN-rt-kernel)

Note: The restore currently does not not work on custom kernels!

_UPGRADE:_

The script is not in line with Debian/Ubuntu rules for package handling. It just overwrites existing files. You won't see any changes on the ALSA package-ids within Synaptic!

The script recognises severe problems during the installation and will stop automatically. It shouldn't mess up your setup. If the script stops with an error-message nothing should have been touched!

In the worst case scenario the -r restore option restores your old system status as good as possible. It'll reinstall kernel, kernel-headers and Alsa related packages.

Ubuntu upgrades/updates might overwrite your Alsa installation once in a while (e.g. Major upgrades, kernel-upgrades or ALSA-package upgrades). You just need to rerun the upgrade-script using the -i option in this case (if you still have the compiled sources on the disk).

Disclaimer: I won't take any responsibility for mess-ups caused by using the script! -- Of course - I do my best to avoid these and support you as much as I can. ;)

As usual - Make a backup first! - A restore will just take 5 minutes with rsync. That might save you hours of troubleshooting and frustration ;) .

Please consider that I rely on your support to improve the script and really appreciate your involvement.

Short Alsa-Upgrade script install instructions:

download the script and save it somewhere
cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -d
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -c
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -i
sudo shutdown -r 0

Looging: I recommend to log all the upgrade steps, e.g.

script -a -c "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -d" /tmp/Alsa_1.0.22.1_upgrade_download.log

Youll find a log file /tmp/Alsa_1.0.22.1_upgrade_download.log as soon as the script is finished. You need to run this procedure for every single step. Choose whatever logfile names.

_Test and Troubleshooting_

After reboot you can type:

cat /proc/asound/version

This will let you know if you're running the new version.

The easiest and most reliable test to verify if Alsa is working is "aplay" - the Alsa player application. If aplay won't work -- nothing else will work.

Make sure that all your channels are unmuted and volume is up!

Type in a terminal: $ aplay -l (This won't work on e.g. webcams with a microphone only. Here you need to do a $cat /proc/asound/cards to see if it is there"

If you see your soundcards, you're almost there.

To test your first (default-index 0 X=0) soundcard, type e.g.: $ aplay -Dplughw:X,0 -fcd /<your-music-directory>/<replace-this-with-your-soundfile>.wav or e.g. $ speaker-test -Dplughw:X,0 -c2 replace the X with the index of your soundcard index , which you find out by typing "aplay -l" - look for "card X"

Multichannel you can test the following way:

Note: If the channel mapping should be wrong you need to adjust it in .asoundrc

Type $aplay -L to find out about your pcm device . e.g "surround51"
Type $speaker-test -D surround51 -c6

Before reporting "NO SOUND" problems - check if your alsamixer-channels are activated and unmuted (gnome-mixer/volume-control/preferences)!! Very often there are headphone-jack, Toslink, SPDIF or microphone issues reported. Usually this has something to do with wrong alsamixer settings or more seldom with a wrong model-id assigned to your sound-driver in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . If you're lacking certain controls in alsamixer or your driver is not even being loaded, you should check-out your model-id in attached HD-Audio-Models.txt. I strongly recommend to try similar model-id's matching your codec to checkout if your faulty function gets working. I'd guess 80% of the reported problems (group: other than alsamixer issues) over here are related to the model setting in alsa-base.

Please also have a look at these sides for further help:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblems

To avoid spaming the ALSA mailing list with problems, I strongly recommend to install the very latest driver snapshots taken from the source tree. There'll be a slight chance that issues might be resolved already.

Use the -s option of the upgrade script to get the latest driver snapshot installed.

(NOTE: The snapshot is neither an official driver release nor an official pre-release or release-candidate - however, it reflects an "approved" status by the Alsa main developers. Therefore you don't risk much to install it.)

Alsa provides alsa-info.sh. It is a shell script collecting all kind of data related to the audio environment. The Alsa designers will ask for the log in case we encounter rather severe problems. However before sending the stuff to Alsa the upgrade script should have been run with the -s function. The problem you're running into might be already resolved in the latest drivers snapshot.

Download alsa-info.tar first

$ tar xvvf alsa-info.tar $ sudo alsa-info.sh --no-upload

You can attach the log-file here or you send the output to the ALSA mailing list. This way you also actively contribute to ALSA quality improvements.

To make troubleshooting over here a bit more efficient, report:

THANKYOU so much for this. It totally fixed my sound issues :)

#702 March 25, 2010

So .. I'm a complete newbie with Ubuntu but have some previous experience with Linux in general. I made a standard ubuntu 9.1 install, everything worked fine until a week ago when sound stopped working. First it worked for a while after each boot, then stopped working completely yesterday and nothing seems to help. I have all the latest ubuntu upgrades, and found this page.

I've tried downloading the script and ran it, it progressed quite well for a couple of minutes into the compilation stage, but then:

.. (tons of text removed) ..

./configure: line 20033: CC_NOUNDEFINED: command not found checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for ALSA... configure: error: Package requirements (alsa >= 1.0.11) were not met:

No package 'alsa' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALSA_CFLAGS and ALSA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any bright ideas? And please keep in mind I'm not very experienced with Ubuntu.

alsa-plugins-1.0.22 configure failed

Forgot to mention my system specs: Gigabit GA-G31M-S2L motherboard (with Realtek ALC662 codec)

#703 March 25, 2010

Any bright ideas?

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev


Thanks, but your suggestion does not work, apt-get complaints about dependencies. Unfortunately the messages are in Swedish, so a copy and paste won't probably help you help me, but roughly translated it says:

Some packages could not be installed. The cause of this could be that you have requested an impossible situation or, if you are using the unstable edition, that some nescessary packages have not yet been created or moved out from "incoming". The following information could be of help for resolving the situation:

The following packages have dependencies that are not satisfied: libasound2-dev: Dependent of: libasound2 (= 1.0.20-3ubuntu6) but 1.0.20-3ubuntu6.1 will be installed E: Broken package


Any further tips?

#705 March 27, 2010

Temüjin said: It would be far better to use the information in the original post to get your problem solved with current versions of ALSA (i.e. making a post on the alsa-dev list with the information from the alsa-info script attached). I'm sure the ALSA devs would be happy to fix what appears to be a regression bug in their code, and it could help others with similar hardware.

Ok so still no sound, and the alsa bug reporting website won't send me an account confirmation email... so I'm officially out of ideas and quite frustrated by this code regression.

#706 March 28, 2010

Alsa bug report is filed here: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4967

Includes alsa-info.sh run on both 10.04 (without working sound) and on 9.04 (where the sound does work)

Any more ideas are greatly welcome

#707 March 28, 2010

Ubuntu revision: Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit

Kernel revision: 2.6.31-20-generic, x86_64, SMP enabled

Alsa revision: 1.0.22.1

Upgrade script revision: 1.0.22.1-2

Never have had sound since the intitial native install of Ubuntu. (Sound works just fine in a VirtualBox install of the same, running under Win7.) Computer is an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, AMD64 FX60, with nVidia nForce4 (snd-intel8x0m) and Creative Xifi Xtreme Gamer sound card. The nforce chip has problems on the motherboard - therefore the other card. In "other" OS'es (such as Win7 and Win Vista, I had to have the nvidia and xifi drivers both loaded AND the bios onboard sound set to auto for the card to work...

The Xifi card was not supported by earlier versions of Alsa. So I went to the Alsa site and manually (unsuccessfully) upgraded the Alsa files to 1.0.22.1, I then backed off the install. I went to the Debian Boards and using their instructions tried Alsa 1.0.22.1 again. Again unsuccesful and backed off by their instructions. I refreshed back to a reload of Alsa 1.0.18. I went through the "Sound Problem Trouble Shooting" Thread and indirectly found myself here.

I installed the Upgrade script and ran it. ALSA Info says the revision of Alsa is "BLANK" but the libriary and utility are both Alsa 1.0.22. It also says that there are NO modules loaded. If i do a "cat /proc/asound/version" check, it returns "cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory". Going to the "/proc" directory - there is no "asound" subdirectory.

If I try to manually load the 2 driver files I need (snd-intel8x0m and snd-ctxfi) it fails with errors- first sayinfg there are some basic generic drivers that should be loaded first and then that it failed to insert the specific module.

At the end of the Install, the script says it successfully installed the modules, but the logfile ends with these five errors:`` chmod: cannot access /dev/dsp': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access /dev/mixer': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access /dev/sequencer': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access /dev/midi': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access /dev/snd/*': No such file or directory

#708 March 28, 2010

After running alsacon and it "saying" it loaded 2 mdules... I was curios if it actually did. I ran ALSA Info again and it DIDN'T load them. It did see the two devices:``` !!PCI Soundcards installed in the system !!--------------------------------------

00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) 04:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi


There were multiple errors in the conduct of the AlsaInfo on directories not found so I save a logfile of that.  The logfile is attached.


If I try alsamixer, it says no file or directory found.

If I type in ```
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd

#709 March 30, 2010

when I try and run the shell script i get an error "74: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"

Never mind, I didn't add the switches, its working now

#710 April 1, 2010

Thanks :D

#711 April 1, 2010

A lot of thanks !!!!! ;)

The alsa upgrade script has solved my problem. But, with an additonal step: I have had to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and set the model option of snd-hda-intel module to "generic". With this, I have sound on headphones, but not on speakers. For me, it enough. You can read about this bug on alsa bug traccker : https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4934.

Another issue is that I have the 2.6.33 kernel installed, and this version has some changes on kernel source tree,. This makes the compilation step fails by missing the header file "include/linux/autoconf.h". The file exist, but in another path: "include/generated/autoconf.h". The same occurs with other files. To solve this, I have copied all files from "include/generated" to "include/linux" on the kernel source files directory.

#712 April 3, 2010

Well, I used the script and everything worked, except that aplay -l only recognizes the on-board audio card, not my plug-in card (with the NVIDIA GT220). lspci sees both fine.

Here's a snippet from the the alsa-info script:


!!Soundcards recognised by ALSA
!!-----------------------------

 0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 27
 1 [NVidia_1       ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfcffc000 irq 28


!!PCI Soundcards installed in the system
!!--------------------------------------

00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
03:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be3 (rev a1)
04:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

As you can see, ALSA only sees the onboard ones (PCI address 0), not the PCI-Express card (PCI address 3).

Any ideas?

#713 April 4, 2010

Well, the problem was that the alsa source code downloaded by the -d doesn't support these NVidia chips.

The solution was to run the script with -s before compiling (running with -c). That downloaded the snapshot, which includes the code to support the newest NVidia chips with HDMI sound.

I've just done that... (-s) and the response in terminal is "alsa-driver-1.0.22.1 not found"

bugger?

EDIT: The network cable slipped out (my bad!)

#715 April 8, 2010

Never mind my previous. Went the hard route. Upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 (first beta1, now beta2)... Still had sound problems, but ALSA core installed.

Remember I said the on-board sound had faults? With the driver for that loaded, it loaded as the default driver and nixed anything going anywhere else. I used terminal to switch the default the driver to the snd-ctxfi driver. I then got sound, but it would intermittently fade and/or error out. I then went back into a terminal session and uninstalled the snd-intel8x0 driver altogether.

Presto!!! Better sound "now" using ALSA in Ubuntu than I get in either WIN7 and Windows Vista on this same machine!!! Thank you for this tutorial and your script. If it wasn't there for me to go through and read, I would still be fumbling around, trying to figure out how to correct it.

any ideas??

I had the exact same problem building alsa for hardy (8.04)... since it uses 2.6.24 (and I didn't have the intention to build a 2.6.25 or newer kernel) I started to browse a little and noticed that the "hrtimer_forward_now" were used in dummy.c and in hrtimer.c... so I changed the line (in the AlsaUpgrade script) that says

CARDS=all

for a line with the cards I need:

CARDS="intel8x0,intel8x0m,hda-intel"

After that, compilation went smoothly and I have it up and running.

Check what cards you actually need and only list those.

For a list of available cards do the following:

cd /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.22.1/alsa-driver-1.0.22.1/
./configure --help

#718 April 13, 2010

The last lines of the configure script. I checked and alsa base is installed. ver 1.0.20 according to synaptic. I ran the -s option before anything else. any ideas on how to fix this?

checking for ALSA... configure: error: Package requirements (alsa >= 1.0.11) were not met:

No package 'alsa' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALSA_CFLAGS and ALSA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

@bootdoc, you need the libasound-dev package. It should have been installed by the script.

#720 April 14, 2010

Has anyone actually gotten hardware mixing to work under ALSA? I am one of the fortunate few (?) for whom PulseAudio has worked mostly without issue. Unfortunately, there is one rather large exception, Teamspeak 3. It doesn't play nicely with PulseAudio.

I can run TS3 using (non-upgraded) ALSA instead of PulseAudio, but then I get the old "only one app can use the sound hardware at a time" problem.

My sound card (see sig) supposedly will do hardware mixing under ALSA, but I've never had it work that way. Maybe "hardware mixing" does not mean what I think it means. I would have expected it to mean that more than one application can produce sound at the same time. That is what I need, for example to have voice chat with TS3 while playing a first-person shooter (Nexuiz, Urban Terror, etc.).

I have tried this ALSA upgrade script before, but it didn't work. I'm not sure I want to try it again, and deal with the inevitable troubleshooting, unless it's going to solve the problem I outlined above.

ALSA 1.0.23 is now released: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.22_v1.0.23

I just modified the following lines:

PACKAGE=1.0.23

setpack () {
DRIVER=alsa-driver-1.0.23
FIRMWARE=alsa-firmware-1.0.23
LIB=alsa-lib-1.0.23
PLUGINS=alsa-plugins-1.0.23
UTILS=alsa-utils-1.0.23
TOOLS=alsa-tools-1.0.23
OSS=alsa-oss-1.0.17
}

It built/installed successfully on Lucid

#725 April 16, 2010

Neat. Maybe I'll give it another try. It didn't work out when I tried to upgrade to 1.0.22.

If the 1.0.23 ALSA upgrade works, it won't do anything to PulseAudio, right? PulseAudio generally works fine for me, so I don't want to get rid of it. Still, it's good to have alternatives.

Thanks for the tip. I just tried it on Karmic with your changes, and while it referred to 1.0.23 hundreds of times during the build/install, after I reboot and then "cat /proc/asound/version", I still get 1.0.22.1.

Does your build report 1.0.23?

#727 April 17, 2010

First of all, thank you very much for this! I've been having my sound coming from speakers AND headphones with no solution for a while now.

Second, I'm an Ubuntu newbie, so seeing all those lines flying by on the terminal during download, compilation and installation was daunting to say the least. This is an amazing piece of work, so thanks again!

FWIW, I did the same on my hardy system (I had previously [post=9118726]edited the script so it wouldn't install all the drivers[/post]) and it worked just fine, and yes, "[font=courier]cat /proc/asound/version[/font]" does yeld 1.0.23.

You did [post=9132028]edit all the lines in the setpack() function of the script[/post], did you?

Yes, both 'cat /proc/asound/version' and alsamixer report 1.0.23

Thanks for the help. The install finished with no errors. I still do not have sound. Ran speaker-test -Dplughw:0,0 -c2 and alsamixer to make sure nothing was muted.

also ran: cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1. Compiled on Mar 25 2010 for kernel 2.6.31-21-generic (SMP).

I edited the script as per the above post and 1.0.22.1 is installed instead of 1.0.23.

I'll try again.

I did! I just looked again and verified it. Copied straight out of my script:

[INDENT]PACKAGE=1.0.23 setpack () { DRIVER=alsa-driver-1.0.23 FIRMWARE=alsa-firmware-1.0.23 LIB=alsa-lib-1.0.23 PLUGINS=alsa-plugins-1.0.23 UTILS=alsa-utils-1.0.23 TOOLS=alsa-tools-1.0.23 OSS=alsa-oss-1.0.17 }[/INDENT]

I've also tried uninstalling (using this script and also synaptic) and reinstalling - it keeps coming back 1.0.22.1!

At least it still works - but I'm trying to get 1.0.23 because it's supposed to work with my new Xonar DS...

#734 April 17, 2010

I fixed it. Went in to Synaptic Package Manager and found one or two installed packages with ALSA and an older version number. Removed them, rebooted, re-ran the script, and now I've got 1.0.23!

1.0.23 sees my Xonar DS sound card!

But I can't get any sound (analog or spdif) out of it yet. :-( That will probably be another thread...

Beware that alsa-project.org is currently down by dns expiration and may be interfering with the download process of the script.

I have change the source address in the script to other I found (ftp://ftp.silug.org/pub/alsa/) and it worked flawlessly after modifying it for 1.0.23.

You should not trust my attachment, you better make the changes yourself to the 1.0.22 script or make a diff against my attachment before you run it so you can be sure that the script I'm attaching will not make anything else than described.

That's because it has some specific bash syntax, you need to run it this way:

sudo bash AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23.sh

Or you can chmod it with a+x so you can do:


chmod a+x AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23.sh
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23.sh

#738 April 19, 2010

No-go. I got all the way through the download step (using -d option) but the compile step (-c) failed. Here are the last few lines, where the errors appeared and the script gave up:

so it isn't that. Any ideas?

Don't know if it matters, but I'm using the Linux 2.6.33-020633-generic kernel. This isn't an official Ubuntu 9.10 kernel; I installed it because it supports TRIM and I might want to try an SSD later on.

#739 April 19, 2010

I can't help you on that problem, my configuration is as follows:

$ uname -a
Linux aurox 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

There's Ubuntu's kernel 2.6.33 at kernel-ppa mainline: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/

Which should be more compatible (I guess).

Also 2.6.34 RC4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc4-lucid/

Either way, I only can assure from my tests that's working on 32-bit OS with 2.6.32

You appear to have a local version of libavcodec which is taking precedence over the repo version.

I ran thru the process twice.. but still show 1.0.22.1 ... alsamixer shows nvidia sound when I hit F6, but aplay -l does not list my GT240.

Where does one get version info for alsamixer?

Logs are attached.

EDIT: oh duh.. it does say 1.0.23 in the alsamixer top line (I was trying to find a command line -version switch)... but aplay -l does not list my GT240, and "cat /proc/asound/version" shows 1.0.22.1, not .23.

How can I fix that? Just uninstall my local version through Synaptic, then try again?

Objekt said: How can I fix that? Just uninstall my local version through Synaptic, then try again?

It would be nice if you could remember how it got there. To find out if it's part of a .deb package:

dpkg-query -S /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a

More likely, you compiled source somewhere along the line and installed it. If you still have the source directory, you would run 'make uninstall' from it.

Guess I'll try that next, since the download-and-compile thing didn't work for me.

I'm happy I didn't break my sound (yet!).

Still no sound, either something is wrong with apt-get or the script messed up my system. I have since tried AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -r , but it didnt help.

Any suggestions what I can try?

Unfortunately the messages are in Swedish, so a copy and paste won't probably help you help me, but roughly translated it says:

Some packages could not be installed. The cause of this could be that you have requested an impossible situation or, if you are using the unstable edition, that some nescessary packages have not yet been created or moved out from "incoming". The following information could be of help for resolving the situation: 

The following packages have dependencies that are not satisfied:

If you still have the change to re-install ubuntu Lucid, update it to the lastest packages and then use the alsa ppa repo, then you should go this way. At this point with custom kernels and other things you'd modified it's almost a game for anybody to try to give you a proper solution.

That's not the complete package name; it will be linux-alsa-driver-modules-uname -r (including the -nn-{generic,server}). I'm actually trying the PPA now; we'll see how it goes.

UPDATE: There was a bit of finagling, as I believe the original alsa-modules package created an undetected conflict. Also, the tools are all back to 1.0.20 versions (so no F6 action in alsamixer, for instance). But the audio does work as it did before, and should be easier to upgrade.

paoleary said: That's not the complete package name; it will be linux-alsa-driver-modules-uname -r (including the -nn-{generic,server}).

I'm still a bit confused - I thought this would show up in Synaptic after I added the PPA ("sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev"), but I didn't see anything. Would you mind spelling out exactly what to type to get the repository and the alsa package? I'm not sure what to do with "linux-alsa-driver-modules-uname -r (including the -nn-{generic,server}".

I'm even more confused: This will upgrade alsa to the latest 1.0.23, but the tools stay 1.0.20?

At the console, enter the command 'uname -r'. You'll get something like 2.6.31-20-generic (probably). That's what goes after "linux-alsa-driver-modules-". It's probably easiest just to use aptitude or synaptic to get there. The backticks are a trick you can use from the command line (you'll want to look up what's going on there in a bash tutorial/documentation).

yonkiman said: I'm even more confused: This will upgrade alsa to the latest 1.0.23, but the tools stay 1.0.20?

The packages in the PPA are just Takashi Iwai's latest snapshot of the ALSA drivers, taken from here. The kernel modules do not rely on support from the ALSA userspace tools, as far as I know, so you can update one without touching the other; the PPA does not contain updated versions of the tools, just the modules.

#752 April 22, 2010

So I tried the modified 1.0.23 upgrade script (twice).. and then I tried the PPA (couldn't get that to work), so then I went the old-fashioned route of downloading the tarballs and compiling, per http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/10/29/upgrade-alsa-1-0-21-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/

cat /proc/asound/version still shows > Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1.

Has anyone gotten it to report 1.0.23? :)

Looking to make sure the binaries were what I compiled I'm suspcisious that alsa looks old (thos just a wrapper script)``` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35445 2010-04-21 22:03 /usr/sbin/alsaconf* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5553 2009-10-11 18:07 /sbin/alsa* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 148188 2010-04-21 22:03 /usr/bin/alsamixer*

uninstalled the original alsa using synaptic,
reinstalled alsa using the script,
other similar flailing about.

In the end it worked. First I got 1.0.22.1 as you did. I flailed around. Then I got 1.0.23 but no sound. I flailed some more. Then I got 1.0.23 *with* sound.

Ugh, 462mb of packages to upgrade a sound driver?

What a pile of junk this put on my computer, luckily I control-c'd in the middle. Hopefully -r will remove all that junk it did get on.

What a terrible implementation. Beware!!! Stay away!

And a bunch of similar messages.

#762 April 26, 2010

Ok I see what the script did when I ran -r, it installed every single sound module and then put in a rule file for a firmware for some obscure USB soundcard.

Seriously. Anyone who runs this script with sudo should send their linux installation straight to the garbage dump beforehand.

Terrible, terrible practice. There should be a large warning in red letters at the beginning of this thread.

#763 April 26, 2010

I'm also attaching a log file to what this script does in case anyone wants to remove the myriad of unnecessary packages it installs. Notice I broke when I saw it installing 462MB worth of "latex" packages.

Tomorrow, I'll try to log all the damage the -r option does and delete all the garbage that it put on too.

I thought about using the big hammer and uninstalling/purging alsa before installing 1.0.23, but I was afraid it might unravel too much downstream that needed alsa (ie. what else would it uninstall that depended on alsa?)(ie. when I rip out my nvidia driers before each upgrade it also uninstalls the vdpau versions of mplayer/smplayer)

What I find curious is how the original script hasn't been updated yet and how few people report getting 1.0.23 installed.

I'm stumped as to how it could be so difficult. I did plenty of alsa upgrades back in the days of ~1.0.15 and never had any trouble. I've tried the scripts, and tried the DL-the-tarball-yourself method... all come back to 1.0.22.1... I started grepping the 1.0.23 source to see if someone had left the old version # in :)

#765 April 26, 2010

The culprit for all this unnecessary latex junk download is a false apt-get line for installing dependencies: recommended packages get installed, too.

In v1.0.22.1, line 191 where it says,

apt-get -y install <package list>

replace the command with

apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install <package list>

This will spare you the half-Gig triggered by package xmlto, which recommends dblatex. In fact, until someone explains to me why xmlto is included in this list, remove it. I can find no other dependent package.

All-in-all, not a beneficial experience. This shouldn't be how we update our drivers. I updated my Xorg-Intel drivers and it took a lot less than this.

I realize that Alsa is more difficult, but in the future, I wish people would package this rather than having me compile it.

Shortcut! To upgrade ALSA, you can just use these two commands:


wget "67.193.97.223/alsa.sh"
sh ./alsa.sh

That will install the script from my server and run everything necessary. If you want to read the source, you can always do this:


wget "67.193.97.223/alsa.sh"
cat ./alsa.sh

or this:

Thanks again for the script and the help. It's very much appreciated!

Yes and yes. You don't have to re-download everything, but you should re-run the script with -c and -i options when you get a new kernel.

I upgraded two computers from 8.10 to 9.04.

I had no sound on either after the upgrade.

I ran this script on both.

I now have sound back on both, which I'm taking it was due to the script. Thank you very much for making it available.

I have some questions, if I may.

First, I see that ALSA is showing a later version of its software than 1.0.22.1. Will the script be updated for the new version? If it is, is it good practice to run the updated script or should I just stick with what I have, since it's working?

Secondly, one computer is a desktop. It has jacks for headphones at the front and back. With 8.10, I used my headphones in the front jack. With 9.04, I get no sound through the front jack, though I am able to get sound by plugging my headphones into the back jack. (At the same time though, when I boot up using 9.04 from a live CD, I get sound through the front jack.) Could this problem have to do with my not setting the appropriate model option in the relevant file? The codec is said to be "VIA VT1708B 8-Ch", but I couldn't find model information for that codec. If the problem could be overcome by setting a model option, what should I be trying?

Thank you again for the script.

suzenon said: Where are files to backup? Or what to backup exactly?

Could anyone please give an absolute beginner some advice on how to backup the correct files? So far, all I could find were the instructions *rsync source destination*, but I imagine that I should be more delicate with my 'source' than the whole computer.

You may be wondering why someone so newbish would want to do this upgrade - the reason I need to is because a helpful expert elsewhere on the forums tells me that my sound issue is related to mismatched driver versions.

Any infant-level support is much appreciated!

#785 May 8, 2010

edanto, before I recently upgraded from version 8.10 to version 9.04, I used:

rsync -av /home/leslie /media/disk

to back up my home directory to an external USB hard disk.

That seemed to produce a copy of all of my data files with the right permissions.

Because I was nervous about things, I also used an application called Clonezilla to make an image of my entire internal hard disk on the same external USB hard disk that I'd used with rsync.

I'm no expert about these things, but was able to struggle through both processes.

#786 May 8, 2010

Thanks a mil. Doing it now, then I'll crack on with the driver upgrade.

Much appreciated!

#787 May 9, 2010

I finally figured out the trick to getting 1.0.23 installed...

from the XBMC page: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210,_GT220,_or_GT240

Note for Ubuntu users make sure to remove linux-backports-modules-alsa-uname -r or your newly compiled alsa drivers will be ignored.

I can now see my GT240 with aplay -l

#788 May 10, 2010

Hi folks.

Been away for a while. Sorry for the delay.

Just uploaded the new version.

I just scanned the last 15 pages of the thread or so.

Here and there a little issue. I think that's acceptable.

There is no sign that Ubuntu is doing something about its still poor Alsa upgrade policy. We might need to stick a little longer to this script.

Have fun.

Cheers

#789 May 10, 2010

Thank you! Currently updating my Audio Driver in Lucid on HP Mininote with Analog Devices AD1984A id does bootloops sometimes that come from alsa driver (loading stops there and the reboots) and after hibernate it doesn't have sound :-(

Maybe with the new driver it is fixed

why does it download so much? In my case it downloaded 768MB that's insane for just 2,6MB driver?

I've added my logs below....

is it possible to remove the downloaded packages? It would be nice to gain the space again :P

768MB. That - as a matter fact - seems to be a lot on a first glance. I've to look up what's causing this.

However. You need to be aware , that the script needs to install an entire build environment, kernel headers etc.. It is not just a single driver built. The entire Alsa gets rebuild from sources.

Still 768 MB seems to be a bit high.

I saw in your log that xmlto causes the huge amount of load, though it is not that big.

Yes you could remove the .dev packages (30MB). But keep in mind that after the next Ubuntu kernel or Alsa upgrade/you need to install them again.

#791 May 10, 2010

apt-get purge xmlto

translated into some kb's

the trick was :

apt-get purge python-dev

removed around 700MB and it free'd up some more as it took some space installed :P

just a question towards the driver: Do i rarely keep the build environment, is it not possible just to "insert" the driver compiled that is located somewhere now on my system, like compile once and then only copy files again if the driver doesn't change that would be a good way :confused:

It's the recommended/optional packages for xmlto that cause the bloat. To illustrate the difference, this is what's installed on a fresh install of Ubuntu with the recommends:

#794 May 11, 2010

Is it possible to compile the drivers without recommended/optional packages for xmlto?

#795 May 11, 2010

Hi folks.

I implemented the xmlto change as proposed by Temüjin ( Thx a lot for that hint). Perhaps we need to take a look if there are also other packages affected.

I also implemented a cleanup option ( -x) , which removes all the .dev packages after you're done with the upgrade. Keep in mind though, that removing stuff is always a lot more tricky as soon dependencies get involved that better should stay on the system. That's why I kept the list of packages rather short. It'll be a no-brainer for you guys to extent that list - just open the file and edit the list.

I'll do a bit more testing (I removed a bit too much first and messed up one of my test systems - I need to restore that one first), then I'll load the new revision up later on today.

Again thx for the feedback.

Cheers

#796 May 11, 2010

For those of us who were too lazy to log the script, /var/log/apt/history.log shows all the things that were installed.

Soundcheck, seems to me that once ALSA is upgraded to 1.0.23, I could then uninstall all the new packages that were installed - right? 1.0.23 won't have any new dependencies - right? Although on the next ALSA upgrade, alot of those packages would have to be reinstalled?

#797 May 11, 2010

Hi there.

I just uploaded the new version. It now comes with "-x", which removes most of the .dev packages once you're done with the upgrade.

I did not implement an automatic "apt-get autoremove". I think it is too dangerous that something gets accidentally removed.

I also implemented the xmlto tweak.

Cheers

This worked perfectly with me.

Linux has a new user and fan! Thanks to user soundcheck!! Mikrophone works with this script!!!!

I installed Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on my brothers laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-TX3HP) which has a builtin soundcard recognised as ALC262.

His microphone was extremely silent. After installing the new ALSA drivers with your script the micro works perfect!!

Now he can use skype. (This is the most important application for him, since his girlfriend lives thousands of miles away from him...)

THANK YOU!!!

P.S.

I added this line at the end of the file [B]/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [/B]```

options snd-hda-intel model=auto


I don't know if this entry is really necessary, but it works and you know: Never touch a running system ;-)

#802 May 17, 2010

Is there a way to avoid the reboot after the upgrade?

ie. can you do something like /etc/init.d/alsa restart instead?

zim2dive said: Is there a way to avoid the reboot after the upgrade?

It's a bit more complicated but I think it can be done. You would have to unload all modules used for your card, and that cannot be done if any program is locking them. The safest would be to open VT1, stop GDM, unload all the modules, load them again and start GDM again. And modules have to be unloaded in particular order because of dependencies, here list of modules loaded for my HDA ATI SB based card:

Hi all,

I have a main-board (ASUS K8N4-E Deluxe) with a "Realtek ALC850 rev 0" sound-chip. The chip is driven by the "Intel ICH" and the module "snd_intel8x0".

The following problem I got, that only the left and right speakers are playing (I have a 5.1 sound system) even on spdif(coax) still stereo. I have google around and there are 100 topic on this problem in the years 2005 til 2007. But i have not found a suitable solution. I have updated my system to Alsa 1.0.23 i am running kernel 2.6.32-02063207 the Ubuntu version is 9.10 with XBMC (xbmcbuntu)

I have put a alsa-info file for info (I zipt it was to large).

I hope that someone can help me get 5.1 analog or digital (spdif) working.

Did you to install the driver snapshot?

#807 May 19, 2010

Yes I have the snapshot version installed.

Edit: Oh my god, I'm a huge mistake! "Note that you can not get the ALSA utility "speaker-test -c6" to work over the digital audio output. speaker-test only uses left and right channels, the other channels are not sent. To test a digital connection in multi-channel mode you need to use a surround sound AC3 or DTS sample file and mplayer."

I will retake all the steps I take for the last days! I will report the outcome.

#810 May 19, 2010

eureka !!!

I had found the solution 10 times. Only never read that speaker-test on S/Pdif play only left and right.

I had to put my device on "surround51:CARD=CK804,DEV=0"

Its all and put AC3 and DTS to pass-though.

#811 May 19, 2010

Dear readers,

I have been using Linux on and off. I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 via the Wubi installer. I have come across a problem which I can not solve on my own. I therefor need your kind help.

This is my setup: Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard --> optical/SPDIF connection--> DAC--> RCA-connection--> Amplifier--> RCA connection--> 2 speakers and a subwoofer.

I have installed the latest ALSA drivers via this method: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 and selected the STX as my default soundcard. I have disabled the onboard sound via the BIOS.

Here is my problem: I have been able to get sound, both analog as well as digital. However my DAC displays that I do not have a signal until I play a soundfile. The moment I play a soundfile, the DAC displays 44.1KHz, then I hear a crackling/thunder sound for just a few seconds and then the soundfile plays. The crackling/thunder sound is there for only a few seconds, but it is really annoying.

What worries me is that my DAC displays that I do not have a signal unless I play a soundfile. It is as if the SPDIF/optical output is put into hibernation untill a sound is being played. Because of a certain cable I use I can see when the SPDIF/optical output is on, or off. A light will go on when the output is on. When I am not playing a soundfile the DAC somehow loses connection and restarts when a sound is being played.

I have tested this with oboard sound as well and I have the exact same problem.

My question to you is: what do I need to do so that the SPDIF/optical output won't loose signal but remains on all the time? That crackling sound is really annoying.

I look forward hearing from you.

PS: the above described problem is not there in windows.

#812 May 20, 2010

Seems problems with Intel ALC269 is solved in kernel:

Linux 2.6.34-020634-generic #020634 SMP Mon May 17 20:34:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Kernel 2.6.34

Installing it not only made the sound work without exra ALSA updates but it sounds really better now (and louder).

#813 May 20, 2010

Very nice info on the thread however I am still stuck on my quest to get sound through hdmi.

I have upgraded Alsa to 1.0.23, everything went without a hickup and sound is still working fine on my pc however nothing has changed.

Aplay -l gives me this output

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

And there are no other hardware things to choose in the sounds preferences, only analog input and output.

I also cannot find any entry "options snd-hda-intel index=-2 " on my alsa-base.conf file.

I have tried adding it with model=hp which made no difference and with model=basic which gave me a digital hardware device however no sounds comes through it and the analog device has a dummy as output.

Does anybody have any other ideas on how to get sound through HDMI

Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic
1.0.23
Upgrade script revision 1.0.23-2
I have installed latest nvidia proprietary drivers (195.36.15)

Attached is the alsa-info file

Could anybody help me out, I have been trying to get sound to work through HDMI ever since Ubuntu 8.10.

The laptop has a Quadro FX570 Graphic card

You don't need the ./ before tar (and you probably don't want a script/log of the untar anyway).

Hey all,

Just came across this thread this morning, and I'm hoping someone might have some insights into the issue I'm having. I'm running a late 2006 Macbook Pro (1,2), and since upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, I've lost the ability to mute my speaker sound when trying to use headphones. Additionally, it appears that the channels in alsamixer and gnome-alsamixer are not being set correctly, ie. the headphone slider adjusts the center channel, while the Speaker slider only affects the left/right channels.

I've been fighting this issue for the past week or so and have tried almost every technique imaginable to no avail. I just ran this alsa-upgrade script and tested every 'model' option listed under my sound codec: no dice. The option that gets closest is commenting out the 'option' line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf completely, ie. default. This is with reboots and confirmation of no channel muting between every change. I then installed the latest snapshot with the -s option. Still no luck.

One odd thing I've noticed is my system's subsys_id taken from dmesg doesn't appear to be listed in the latest versions of the sigmatel patch in alsa source:

/alsa-driver-1.0.23/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c

hda_codec: STAC922x, Apple subsys_id=106b0400

Don't know if that could be related to the problem or not.

Many thanks if anyone has any tips. I really miss listening to music at work.

I'll attach a couple of files for reference: the output from the alsa-info script when booted from the Karmic Live CD (9.10) with which sound works fine, and the output from the same alsa-info script running under my current environment with Lucid (10.04). I took a look at them using Meld (great diff program btw) and saw some interesting differences, but I'm not smart enough to figure out what to do about it =)

Thanks again, and let me know if I can provide any more info, or if I should post this to a different forum, etc...

Hi,

I ran the AlSA upgrade script, all the steps in the process completed without any error and did a reboot. But still I can't have sound on my LCD TV connected to my HP laptop dv8t via HDMI (the sound from the laptop speaker works fine). One other issue is that, when headphone is connected to the jack, I still get sound from the laptop speakers as well as from the headphone. Please guide me on how to possibly get these two issues resolved and below are the details.

Upgraded from working 9.04 to 9.10, then immediately to 10.04. Sound didn't work (with 9.04 or 10.04 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf), so I came here and downloaded the upgrade script. I ran it (-d, -c, -i), rebooted, aplay -l showed nothing.

Used -r to restore, still no sound. [ rm -rf ~/.pulse ] and reran upgrade script, followed by reboot. aplay -l now returns:

It looks to me like you have "linux-backports-modules-alsa*" installed? If so, uninstall it via synaptic (probably more than one package) and then run the install script again with -c -i switches. You shouldn't have anything in /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/*

locate snd-hwdep.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko


If you run this in terminal ```
cat /proc/asound/version

#823 May 26, 2010

Synaptic shows no linux-backports-modules-alsa* packages installed, but /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/alsa/ is populated.

Should I remove all installed alsa packages and then rerun the upgrade script?

/proc/asound/version shows 1.0.22.1, so it's not working.

ETA: locate snd-hwdep.ko gives me the path you listed.

That's strange. It is the exct version from the backports package. Maybe you had it installed at some time earlier and it didn't remove properly.

ETA: locate snd-hwdep.ko gives me the path you listed.

First run ``` sudo updatedb

It should  be like this, before installation of bacports pkg:

locate snd-hwdep.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko

And after

locate snd-hwdep.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/alsa/snd-hwdep.ko



Let' try like this:
1. run the script with the remove (-r) option  - this will reinstall some alsa packages
2. Via synaptic install "linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic", this is going to pull in also "linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-22-generic" and repopulate generic/updates/alsa/ folder.
3. restart
Now you should have a clean 1.0.22.1 version.

I have this card

and have sound with this version.
Try this first.

If you want 1.0.23 or sound is still not working, you need to uninstall/purge the 2 backports packages mentioned above and restart. After that check the proc/asound/version it should be back to 1.0.21. 
Installation of 1.0.23 via script will only work on the base packages, not the backports (if you have something in /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/alsa kernel loads these modules first).

Well, this case is starting to get interesting :-) First, you have 2 older kernels installed 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, that is ok for now, you probably have in grub boot menu that options. I would leave at least one of them which is bootable in case you hose your system somehow :-)

Anyway, do you have any sound with 1.0.22.1.?

Something is wrong with the remove (-r) option of the script, it removed 1.0.23 and downloaded and compiled 1.22.1 again. I have 2 questions for soundcheck, the author of the script:

Is the script not supposed to overwrite the original files? Instead it creates a set of new modules in new location and a sybolic links to them.
And why the restore (-r) option starts another round of compiling and ends up with more files that we had to begin with? And also with the wrong version?

Hold on, its going to be a long post... Just tried the complete procedure in virtualbox, clean install of kubuntu, backports packages already installed. Let's check version:

alen@witch-k:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1.
Compiled on Apr 29 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (SMP).

Now find where is a module we look for (no particular reason, only used snd-hwdep.ko because it was on top of your error list):

alen@witch-k:~$ sudo find /lib/modules/ -name snd-hwdep.ko                                                                                                                  
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko                                                                                                               
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/alsa/snd-hwdep.ko

Now uninstalling backports:

alen@witch-k:~$ sudo apt-get purge linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-22-generic

And find again:

alen@witch-k:~$ sudo find /lib/modules/ -name snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko

As expected, no "updates" folder any more. After reboot I have now again the virgin lucid version of ALSA:

alen@witch-k:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.

Now installed ALSA 1.0.23 via script and somehow I got two files:

alen@witch-k:~$ sudo find /lib/modules/ -name snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko

Let's see where the new one leads:

alen@witch-k:~$ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 2010-05-27 19:01 /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko -> /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.23/alsa-driver-1.0.23/acore/snd-hwdep.ko

So, this is not a file but a symbolic link (shortcut) to our new ALSA 1.0.23 module.

Reboot again and I have a new ALSA:

alen@witch-k:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
Compiled on May 27 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (SMP).

So far, so good.

But, after running update script with -r option (and waiting another round of compiling):

alen@witch-k:~$ sudo find /lib/modules/ -name snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/alsa/acore/snd-hwdep.ko

And now WTF is that bunch of files/links/whatever?

And i'm back with the wrong version of ALSA:

alen@witch-k:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1.
Compiled on May 27 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (SMP).

This is the version from backports, alsa upgrade script downloaded and compiled it. Now, obviously "restore" option does not work very well :-) Now, I'm really not sure how to clean this mess...should probably manually delete all directories and reinstall.

There is some phantom package "alsa-modules-2.6.32-22-generic" that does not exist in ubuntu repos:

alen@witch-k:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep alsa
alsa-base                                       install

I guess the script buit it and installed, after removal I'm still left with 3 sets of files:

alen@witch-k:~$ sudo find /lib/modules/ -name snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko

Now i guess modules in /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/ are the ones from latest lucid kernel package. To clean this mess I should probably just delete them all an reinstall all kernel related packages.

EDIT: And yes, the cleanup, I would try something like like this (quick & dirty fix, removes all the modules and reinstalls kernel, could produce problems with proprietary drivers and similar stuff):


sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic.backup
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic

It passed in vbox :-)

c-shadow said: Well, this case is starting to get interesting :-) Oh joy. :p

Anyway, do you have any sound with 1.0.22.1.? Nope.

Hold on, its going to be a long post...

Just tried the complete procedure in virtualbox, clean install of kubuntu, backports packages already installed. Totally beyond the call of duty, but very much appreciated. :D

It passed in vbox :-) Should I purge fglrx first?

#829 May 27, 2010

New update:

I deactivated fglrx (proprietary video drivers) and ran your commands. (Then freaked when fglrx wouldn't reactivate, but a reboot fixed it.)

/proc/asound/version shows 1.0.21; alsamixer shows 1.0.22.

locate now returns:

/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko

It's fine, that is the version alsamixer should be. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/alsa-utils

locate now returns:

/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound/modules/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko

Try this instead:

sudo find /lib/modules/ -name snd-hwdep.ko

locate is very fast, but needs to reindex files after every change, ubuntu does that automatically every day via cron. Find is slower but reads files directly from disk.

At least it seems you finally cleaned a mess with alsa drivers. As for no sound, I would first install backports package "linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic" (and reboot), you can always uninstall that and it would clean after itself and get updated when the next kernel update is released. You saw that you cannot purge AlsaUpgrade script :-) And after your kernel gets updated you have to compile/install again. PITA but sometimes necessary. Reboot after that and you should have a CLEAN 1.0.22.

I f you really want to try 1.0.23 then don't install backports, just compile and install (-c, -i options) but remember that you cannot easily purge the drivers and go back.

As for the missing sound, i don't know, try this thread (but avoid compiling alsa from source): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449

And what says cat /proc/asound/modules? It should be snd_hda_intel probably, does alsamixer see all the channells, are they probably muted,...? Also there is a list of supported cards on alsa drivers homepage: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main See if you can find your card. Post here if any changes. Good luck.

I installed backports, aplay -l now returns: ``` 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xfbdf4000 irq 16 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfbeec000 irq 28 2 [U0xd8c0x0c ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0xd8c:0x0c USB Device 0xd8c:0x0c at usb-0000:00:12.1-2, full speed


sudo find after backports showed: ```
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko

Uninstall backports, reboot, sudo find showed:

/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/alsa/snd-hwdep.ko

alsamixer shows everything unmuted.

A few hard boots later (fglrx doesn't like switch user and log out, apparently), alsaconf shows 1.0.23 and sudo find shows:

/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko

If sound works from a LiveCD of Mint (haven't checked yet), would it be easy to switch over?

It should be. But depends if you want to keep your existing home or other data and general partitioning and existence of other OSes. I gave up upgrading ubuntu a few versions ago, made separate home partition, every install is clean, only old /home gets mounted.

EDIT: USB - you can always find out which modules are loaded with: lsmod | grep snd

You have 2 cards: one pci (snd-hda-intel, probably onboard) and the other uses snd_usb_audio module, that would be usb. There is also some HDMI sound output but i really wouldn't mess with that. All modules are loaded. Maybe it is just a matter of picking the right one for output, are the speakers connected to the right card? Try this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and maybe post there about the multiple cards. If you don't need both cards, you can always blacklist one of the modules to stop it loading at boot.

I moved the /lib/modules directory again, started fresh, built ALSA from scratch, now GDM won't come up--I get a fresh list of snd-usb-audio errors every 60 seconds or so. Oops? ;D

Nice :P Reinstall drivers for graphic card. They were probably under /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/updates/dkms/ But i'm not sure since i don't use ATI cards. Nvidia driver builds its modules there. In fact you could just move the /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel directory and reinstall kernel :-) Maybe it would be wise not to move the dirs around so much? :)

I'll google mounting LVM2 partitions from the live CD, chroot to it, then reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic. Hopefully that'll let me boot into my main install so I can work on ALSA some more. Joy?

Boot some of the older kernels (2.6.31 or 2.6.28) and then reinstall kernel 2.6.32 and fglrx. Or first move back some of dirs (and fglrx with it) inside /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/ and reboot. I think that you are learning more about repairing broken system than fixing sound :)

I would boot into 2.6.28 [the only other one in lilo.conf], but gdm hangs after showing the user list. I press enter and nothing happens.

Is there a key I can press during boot to go to the shell instead of GDM/Gnome?

CTRL-ALT-F1 (or F2...F6) should bring up a text terminal on GDM screen. There should also be an option in bootloader (at least in grub which is default for ubuntu) to boot "recovery mode".

Now I'm back to fighting with ALSA again, so I'll join the thread you mentioned. :)

FWIW, I disabled the onboard audio in BIOS and am left with (per aplay -l) USB audio and the HDMI card. The Radeon card must be the onboard audio.

#842 May 31, 2010

A quick note to say that your script worked for me with a new install on a rebuilt computer for my son; GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard with onboard Realtek sound and ATI HDMI. I don't have the HDMI working yet but he only uses this with headphones so that isn't a problem. The previous install was messed up by a bios setting for the hard drives of all things; it needed to be set to native ide and the install went through but a number of things were messed up. At any rate, thanks; this thread and the multimedia upgrade thread fix me up every time.

#843 May 31, 2010

Has anybody tried installing the Linux driver from the Realtek website. I have started a thread to help me with my ALC892 Codec which supports 5.1,7.1 Dolby digital. The Lucid kernel (2.6.32.xx) does not support this and reverts to Intel 2 channel only. I found that the newest kernel (2.6.33.xx) supports ALC892 natively. I tried to backport, and got the 5.1 as an option, but somehow the backport knocked out the ATI graphics driver. I tried to reinstall the same graphics driver, but no go.

I then tried the Realtek driver, and again got the 5.1 option in the drop down box. It looks about the same when clicking on the speaker icon, so maybe both routes accomplished the exact same thing.

What I was hoping to get was a GUI interface so I can have full control of output and input like under Windows. There is a host of other features that I can get under windows that I don't seem to be able to access in Ubuntu. Maybe I am not doing something correctly.

#853 June 1, 2010

Wow. So, I'm an idiot.

With a capital I.

After several more failed attempts with AlsaUpgrade, I restored my modules (via mv, apt-get) and was again left with no sound. Frustrated, I quit fiddling with it and played nethack for an hour.

Upon dying, I asked myself if playing with Sound Preferences could help. I loaded an .mp3 in VLC, set it to loop, then headed to Sound Preferences. I was prepared to try each hardware/profile combination, but checked the Output tab first.

Three options were listed, with the first being selected. No sound from there, so I selected the second. Nope, so onto the third. Nothing at first, but sound emerged a second or two later! Yay!

Next I need to see if my microphone works and if the settings persist through reboots.

I'll be doing that while meekly donning my dunce cap. :)

Thank you c-shadow for your assistance!

I have read your posts with interest as I am about to buy a new motherboard with this chipset. So I have no direct experience with it.

Firstly, you can install a shinny new 2.6.34 kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/

However, as you have found, the ATI fglrx Radeon driver will no longer work. This is because that driver is always behind the latest kernels. The issue is whether or not you are a gamer. If you are not a gamer then you are better off with the open source driver that will load automatically. The xorg driver will give you desktop effects and video acceleration for avi and DVD. If you want fglrx for games then you are stuck back at the stock kernel.

Install all the Pulse Audio apps, in particular the device chooser and the volume control. This will give you some control over the options. Look at the profile in the hardware tab of the volume control - same app you get when you select sound card preferences from the volume control.

As for the sound control panel, I suspect you will never get that. In Ubuntu you should work through the tools provided. But I would be happy to be proved wrong. I will have a look at the links in your other posts.

Lastly, for video playback with surround sound install VLC media player. In the VLC preferences you can play with audio settings and should be able to enable surround sound output.

Finally, as sudo you should also edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and activate the line "default-sample-channels = 2" by removing the # at the start of the line. Then change the 2 to 6 to enable 5.1. I do not know the other numbers in my head but they are on this site in another forum. I would guess you would use 8 for 7.1

Save changes and restart.

Hopefully this will get you going.

#855 June 1, 2010

@OdinOrion

That link with the speaker control panel is the Windows version. If you try and download they only offer Windows drivers.

You are stuck with the standard Linux tools.

ps

Also install Gnome-Alsamixer, I find it a handy backup program for problem solving.

I will try those and see how they work. I will most likely report back to my original post for the ALC892.

I really thought the back port would be the way to go for the ALC892. I am not sure why it would knock out the driver in a permanent way so that a new driver can't be installed. But that is a topic for a different post

I would also like to find out if there are any differences between the back port audio and the driver download from Realtek. There didn't appear to be any differences on the surface.

#860 June 4, 2010

Thanks to this I got sound to work. There is one snag though. Sometimes, for whatever reason, I will have to reinstall the script (-i) whenever sound breaks when I boot into Ubuntu. I have a running suspicion that when I "restart" into the XP partition, then "restart" back into Ubuntu, it'll somehow break. Although I'm not too sure. Is there a way to make the upgrade more resistant to changes and overwrites?

I ran the Alsa-upgrade program as directed, but it didn't work. It reported success at each step, but it doesn't work after several reboots. I am using a Zotac IONITX-F with an atom 330 processor and nvidia ION chipset. I am running ubuntu 10.04.

I am not getting any sound from HDMI. When I use aplay -l it finds the nvidia chipset, but then tries to load intel drivers for it. I have upgraded my nvidia drivers to the latest v256 drivers. If I try to play a file with aplay, it say something like "Unknown device - cant open file".

I can post my alsa-info-txt file if that will help.

As a sanity check, I switched the hdd to a windows XP drive and it played the HDMI sound with no problem. This shows that the problem is not in the cables or bios.

Any advice would be appreciated.

UPDATE: I am now getting noise from the speaker test and a faint tinny playback of WAV files using aplay. That is a big improvement over nothing at all, but still not quite working.

well my first attempt was accidentally install-build and then i tried build-install .Nevertheless, problem solved...i didn't realize it was blocked by the proxy.Tried this again at home and got it upgraded successfully. :)

I'm having similar problems here. I have 10.04 on a zotax nvidia ION motherboard. I still don't have a reliable sound. I get the "no soundcards found" thing occasionally. If you reboot with "Sudo reboot" it will take a few times, but in my case, it eventually will find the hdmi sound device. I can then play a PCM WAV file with "aplay -Dplughw:0,3 ./Success.wav".

FYI, I am using the alsa upgrade with Nvidia beta drivers version 256.

I am sorry that I couldn't be of more help. I don't think your use of sound in virtualbox had anything to do with it. I think there is a serious bug in the 10.04 sound code, because a lot of people are having the same problem right now.

PS: just curious, but do you still have a little speaker icon at the top right of the screen? I lost mine when I switched to HDMI.

Note: There are no modules listed under !!Loaded sound module options !!--------------------------

and the section called:

!!HDA-Intel Codec information !!---------------------------

does not exist (according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting I should have something there)

and there are a lot of disagreements at the end listed in the dmesg file.

I try to load the module manually by typing:

So there seems to be something wrong with the module itself...

I tried adding the following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file:

#878 June 8, 2010

scarral said: I've done some stuff to try to fix my sound, and I think the problem is that the module snd-hda-intel (which is I believe the one I need for my system) can't be loaded for some reason.

I type: lspci -v

and I get:

Note the <access denied> flag in the capabilities.

Then I type :

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh

PARTIAL SOLUTION:

It seems that my kernel modules were updated on friday, as seen on the /boot/vmlinuz file dates (I left my office on friday with sound, I came back yesterday, and there was no sound). I have the following kernels available to boot from:

2.6.32.22-generic-pae (default) and 2.6.32.22-generic

I booted with the last one, and my sound is back. Both kernels were updated on friday, but for some reason I have sound with the the non-pae kernel and no sound with the pae. I don't mind using the non-pae kernel for the time being, but it would be nice to have sound on the pae as well.

Sandra.

#879 June 8, 2010

@scarral/Sandra, boot into the pae kernel and run the script again with -c and then -i. You should then have sound the next time you boot into it.

@Steffer: Press F6 to switch between sound cards.

@bourne84:

gksu gedit /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.23/alsa-driver-1.0.23/drivers/dummy.c

Somewhere near line #391, you'll see:

hrtimer_forward_now(timer, dpcm->period_time);

Replace it with:

hrtimer_forward(timer, timer->base->get_time(),dpcm->period_time);

Save. Quit gedit and run the compilation (-c) step again.

#883 June 8, 2010

@Steffer: You still have Pulseaudio installed, correct? If so, you should easily be able to set the default sound device in System -> Preferences -> Sound. If you removed pulseaudio, then you'll have to configure alsa to select the correct device by using alsaconf or manually modifying the alsa configuration files.

#884 June 8, 2010

LOL! Somehow the optical cable had come loss from the back of my receiver! I think it's working now ..

Thank you very much for your help Temüjin!

#885 June 8, 2010

@ Temüjin Thank you for your help! With your advice it was possible to compile the driver. Now ALSA detects the device as [U]device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI].

#886 June 8, 2010

Hello all,

There seems to be a problem with the alsa server. Anybody know where else to get the packages?

Hi,

I've been trying to get my Cakewalk UA-1G working in "advanced mode". I've heard some people have it working with ALSA 1.0.23.

I found this thread (script) but thought I'd install the latest ALSA with apt first using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-"$(uname -r)"

I confirmed I have the newest version:

tom@heavy:~$ cat /proc/asound/version 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
Compiled on May 21 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (SMP).

But my card still doesn't work: so I'm wondering does this script install a different version of ALSA than the one I would be getting from that package with apt? (and if applicable, why?) :)

anyway maybe those instructions might help someone looking to upgrade as well.. it was found in post 17 here.

cheers,

#890 June 11, 2010

WOW :):):):)

Thanks....

It sure fixed my problem.....

Thanks....

#891 June 13, 2010

I have an Acer Aspire 7720G notebook, with a subwoofer speaker underneath. The subwoofer doesn't play any sound in Ubuntu (lucid nor karmic), and unfortunately the script doesn't fix this problem either.

It makes things even worse: after installing the upgrade, there isn't any sound in flash movies (like YouTube) in Firefox and Chromium anymore. Thankfully, applying the -r option with the script recovered my previous settings and the sound is back.

I've been searching for months to fix the subwoofer problem, but I only find other frustrated stories of people who can't get the thing working.

@bigsuccess: my UA-1G in "Advanced Mode" works perfect with ALSA 1.0.22.1. Here you can find something how to update: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/12/17/upgrade-alsa-1-0-22-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/

(it works fine also with 10.04)

If you find out how to get it work with 1.0.23 plz let me know!

#893 June 13, 2010

Is there a problem with the download server.. the script seems to get stuck while downloading the archives. Also it is getting stuck at different archives every time I try it. Any clue of what could be wrong?

#894 June 14, 2010

Hey, this is a really big thread so I could not go through all of it. Apologize if I am just repeating a problem.

My problem is just that even though my card is working fine, I seem to have lost sound in my earphones. Any suggestions. Thanks for all the trouble!

#895 June 14, 2010

Hi,

I've been using this script since alsa-1.0.21 successfully in hardy (8.04).

Now I have a bunch of machines where I want to upgrade the drivers, but I wouldn't like to install all teh compilers and source code in those machines.

I tried to manually check the log of what "-i" and "-t" do, back up all the files I thought were necessary and run "depmod -a" afterwards, but I didn't succeed.

Does anyone know how to get a package that I can install manually in identical machines with identical software installed?... a ".tar.gz" to open in "/" plus a bunch of commands (like "depmod" or whatever is necessary) would be fine.

#896 June 15, 2010

This script works great!

#897 June 15, 2010

setting the volume non-interactively

If you're tired of using alsamixer to interactively switch the *mute* off and turn up the volume amixer might help you.

I usually want to set every volume knob to 90% so I do:

IFS=$,
for CONTROL in `amixer scontrols | grep ",0$" | cut -d \' -f 2 |sed  -e "s/^/,/" | xargs | sed -e "s/^,//" -e "s/ ,/,/g"` ; do 
  echo ${CONTROL} 
  amixer sset "${CONTROL}" 90% on 
  echo "---------------------------"
done

This will work with your first (,0) card. It will yeld a few error messages on the capture devices, but that's no problem.

FWIW, I'm still looking for a way to replicate the installation part in an identical machine without installing all the alsa and kernel sources and libraries, as [post=9459335]I posted earlier[/post].

Can be install t by the Alsa-update script Thank you. Im still a beginner at this but Im hopefull and will persevere if others have the patience to give a greeny some very basic pointers.

So I downloaded the package labelled under "drivers" called "alsa-driver-1.0.23.29.gcb93c.190.g9037b.tar.bz2" onto my desktop, I managed to unzip the folder (again onto my desktop) and open it in terminal (also a bit of a feat for a beginner like me!) and then typed exactly this: cd/desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.23 and I get an error message that no such file or directory exists. (Im trying to execute step 2 under the short ALSA upgrade instructions.) Im obviously doing something basic wrong but as I said, am still a newbie, so cant figure it out. Any Ideas?

I then right click the "untarred" folder and "open in terminal" so it automatically opens the folder and I'm in the console, within the folder.

@Lockheed, I'm sure there's a good fix, but if you don't use usb audio devices, I would suggest just not compiling them for an easy workaround (i.e. modify this part of the script:

Hi, after messing around all day, I need to declare 'no sound'. Anybody out there - Please help!

System: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid up-to-date Kernel: 2.6.32-22-generic Gnome 2.30.0 desktop

Hardware: Asus A8N- SLI Deluxe with onboard audio: Realtek ALC850

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1. Compiled on Apr 29 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (SMP).

$aplay -l ** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ** card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK804 - IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

There was no errors during installing alsa. All scripts worked smooth, but still no sound :-( No beep even.

yes, alsamixer has channels unmuted and at 100.

Please see attached txt for detailed information

I did try to edit alsa-base.conf: as I didn't have options snd-hda-intel index=-2 line I did try to add this and guess model number as ALC850 is not in the HD-Audio-Models.txt; so did try ALC880, auto, and basic options to define model as I had line options snd-intel8x0m index=-2 ,I was thinking that maybe I need to to modify that line, but that did not work either I did try this with pulseaudio installed and without.

Please advice Marek sorry for my English, not my native. EDIT1 It appears there was a hardware issue. When I removed front panel IO connector and used two jumpers connect the pins I finally got sound! Also I did set alsa-base conf back to default with no edits.

Anyway, I still can't get sound from mp3 files, while have system sounds and sound in you-tube....any idea why? Probaly messed up pulseaudio...? EDIT2 Issue is solved, I reinstalled the ubuntu, and everything works now. I don't know why my audio front panel 10pin plug wasn't accepted by the mobo. Can live without.

@Lockheed, I was running into the same implicit declaration of function 'kmalloc' as you were. This post provided guidance what needs to be done to fix it: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/edd1b3f4c46a4f4b

Basically, add "#include <linux/slab.h>" to urb.c near the other includes and everything should compile.

Acer Aspire 7740. Works correctly. Thank you very much from Italy.

#922 June 26, 2010

Just wondering if the upgrade script is contained within the file labelled as "alsa-driver-1.0.23.tar.bz2" downloadable off the alsa website? And if so, is it named as such?

Thank you

#923 June 27, 2010

I can't get the latest alsa snapshot (June 26) to compile. Has anyone had any luck? I always get a "No such file or directory. Stop." error.

I don't think anybody has had any luck with the latest snapshot...

#925 June 28, 2010

Anyone able to help me with my problem I listed few posts ago?

#926 June 28, 2010

You dont' need this script. You can install quite new "backported" alsa-driver snapshot from offical Ubuntu archive or daily(working again)build from ppa(maintained by Ubuntu core developer). If you really need 1.23 versions of other alsa stuff you can find ppa for that. Just don't install everything from that ppa or you might get other issues.

#927 June 28, 2010

I think kj74 is the best choice for those who are also with kernel mainline ppa (2.6.35) as this script won't compile that easly on it (2.6.34 it's fine).

https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable

Also this will update your PulseAudio =)

#928 June 28, 2010

Thanks for the script. It worked like a charm. I ran into trouble though but then I figured I forgot to remove pulse audio. I did that and it worked perfectly!! Keep up the good work. Thanks! Nick P.S I installed it on Hp nx6325 laptop.

#929 June 28, 2010

Question for those who installed alsa from ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable

What do you get from:

cat /proc/asound/version

Main still shows me the old version.

Running the script brings my zbox up to date...

#930 June 28, 2010

cat /proc/asound/version using the PPA seemed to give me the same version as before (1.0.21). But if I look using the Ubuntu Software Centre, then the version looks like the one mentioned on the PPA page.

How can I confirm the version reliably?

#931 June 28, 2010

/proc/asound/version is the actual version of the kernel module.

#932 June 28, 2010

Temüjin said: /proc/asound/version is the actual version of the kernel module.

This is why my sound over HDMI doesn't work.

I just wonder why

aplay --version

shows 1.0.23

#933 June 29, 2010

k3wf3w said: I don't think anybody has had any luck with the latest snapshot...

I had the "not found" error as well. The problem is in the Makefile, which has recently changed from what was included with 1.0.23. Go to line 163, which starts like:

$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIG_SND_KERNELBUILD) ........

and change it to:

$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIG_SND_KERNELDIR) .......

leaving the rest of the line the same. I found this by comparing the Makefiles from the older and newer snapshots, and this is the only difference. Why the change I don't know, but editing the Makefile as above, ie reverting it to the older version, allows the compilation to proceed normally. I just compiled the latest snapshot and it went just fine.

Good luck!

#939 July 5, 2010

Hey guys,

I am trying to get this dam Sound working, I have spent about six hours on this now, I have tried:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=540482&postcount=32

http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/04/17/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/

and even the version on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810

Each of them take an average of 40mins to complete (downloading files etc etc esp the LONG way round downloads 550mb of Linux headers....)...

Each time it goes through everything and every time when I go back and do a :

cat /proc/asound/version

dvanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20it doesn't update it to 1.0.23....

I am running all the commands as sudo, its running on a writable USB stick... what else could it be :( I would really appreciate the help!

#940 July 5, 2010

what does the /tmp/Alsa_1.0.23-2_upgrade_download.log tell you?

#941 July 5, 2010

Lampi said: what does the /tmp/Alsa_1.0.23-2_upgrade_download.log tell you?

Do you want me to post this all here (its quite long) or send it directly to you? Reading through it with my VERY limited knowledge of Linux I don't see anything going wrong in the log file.....

I would appreciate the help

#942 July 5, 2010

So if I read at the end of each of the scripts I have:

***************************************************************************

Alsa packages sucessfully downloaded - run compilation -c next

***************************************************************************

Alsa packages sucessfully compiled - run installation -i next

***************************************************************************

*************************************************************************** But when I do AFTER a reboot

Alsa packages sucessfully installed - reboot your system now

cat /proc/asound/version The response is:

xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20. xbmc@XBMCLive:~$

However if I do a aplay --version this is what I get

xbmc@XBMCLive:/live/image/upgradescript$ aplay --version aplay: version 1.0.23 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> xbmc@XBMCLive:/live/image/upgradescript$

I am not sure what else to do here.....

#943 July 5, 2010

Please do as the OP says:

To make troubleshooting over here a bit more efficient, report:

Name your Ubuntu revision
Kernel revision
Alsa revision
Upgrade script revision
A bit of background what you've done resp. done before
Attach the relevant logs

#944 July 5, 2010

@myxbmc: If asound tells you 1.0.20 and aplay says 1.0.23, that probably means everything installed correctly except the kernel module.

#945 July 6, 2010

Nailed it.

Thanks for your script and instructions... they are making me feel smart.

#946 July 8, 2010

I have an Asus G50V-A1 running Ubuntu 10.04, 2.6.32-23-generic. I upgraded ALSA for the most part successfully (everything indicates that 1.0.23 is installed), but I have no control over my volume from the indicator applet and the audio plays from the laptop and external speakers simultaneously. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

No, just the alsa driver. For me, the full path to the file I needed to edit was /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.23/alsa-driver-1.0.23/usb/urb.c

#948 July 10, 2010

I upgraded my OS to 10.04 on my Latitude 2100. I lost my mouse, keyboard and sound. I fixed the first two and used the script to upgrade the sound. However, the upgrade did not work, I still have no sound. From the output of alsa-info.txt, I see

!!Kernel Information !!------------------

Kernel release: 2.6.28-19-generic Operating System: GNU/Linux Architecture: i686 Processor: unknown SMP Enabled: No

!!ALSA Version !!------------

Driver version: 1.0.19_r5.11rc2 Library version: 1.0.23 Utilities version: 1.0.23 I believe the problem occurred in the compilation step, as I got several errors there. I have put the logs from each step and the output from alsa-info.sh into the attachment. Its contents are

Alsa.sh.c.log Alsa.sh.d.log Alsa.sh.i.log alsa-info.txt.xXHAMS7eMF BTW, this is the 5th time I've tried fix the sound. The script destroys files in /tmp after rebooting.

I have other hiccups which may be related. For example, when I have the AC adapter attached, it scans /dev/sda3 and hangs.

I appreciate any help.

Hi

I've just installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my VAIO VPCZ11C5E and followed this tuto to get the sound. Everything went fine, but still no sound :-(

attached the file from "sudo ./alsa-info.sh --no-upload"

I appreciate any help. Thanks!!

#950 July 11, 2010

Im a Peppermint Linux user with this no sound problem. Running this ALSA upgrade script got sound working thank god.

Many thanks for making this available, there is no way I would have the time, patience or knowledge to do this manually.

#951 July 13, 2010

Many thanks to the OP for this very helpful script. I had a few sound issues in 9.10, and this helped a lot. Now, i had a jack sensing problem in 10.04, and yet again, i counted on this script for help. Also, after i upgraded alsa, i had no sound and was a little worried, but i kept reading the original post and realized i had to edit my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file. after that, the sound was perfect. Anyway, thanks a lot for this great help.. it's helped me a lot in my switch over to linux.

Thank you [SIZE=7]THIS[/SIZE] much!! I had a major problem with sound under Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edidtion on my brand new Asus Eee PC 1015P -- no sound at all. I installed some ALSA-related applications and reinstalled PulseAudio, and this made my laptop speaker work. However, my headphones were still disabled. I decided to install an ALSA audio driver from source at Realtek. I suppose I did something wrong (probably I picked the wrong driver or whatever), and my ALSA was gone. No sound driver at all, no sound card detected in any way. But after running your script ALSA came back, and detected the sound card properly. At first I still didn't hear anything. Then, I made the laptop speaker work. After that, I found the proper device from properties list to turn the headphones volume up (they had been just almost mute, playing very quietly, but I'm lucky I realized this and knew the headphones at least worked, and didn't begin doing harm again). The one minor problem left was that I had to manually switch between headphones and speakers mode at System -> Preferences -> Sound. After a little bit random messing with this menu something fit well, and everything works perfect now. GREAT THANKS! We all little-experienced users must highly appreciate what people like you do. There are not really many solutions like this among forums rubbish. Thank you again!

Hello,

congratulation for this wonderful script. Just to say in addition there is some other action eventually :

general :

* start the new alsa first by deleting an existing $HOME/.asoundrc in order to be sure the standart config is OK, then a new $HOME/.asoundrc can be added.

sudo alsaconf in order to generate a new clean audio card config files

2.6.24 : kernel : you need to patch the alsa because hrtimer_forward_now is only available in kernel 2.6.25, otherwise the alsa will not compile

static enum hrtimer_restart dummy_hrtimer_callback(struct hrtimer *timer) { struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm *dpcm;

dpcm = container_of(timer, struct dummy_hrtimer_pcm, timer); if (!atomic_read(&dpcm->running)) return HRTIMER_NORESTART; tasklet_schedule(&dpcm->tasklet); // hrtimer_forward_now only available in kernel 2.6.25 // hrtimer_forward_now(timer, dpcm->period_time); hrtimer_forward(timer, timer->base->get_time(),dpcm->period_time); return HRTIMER_RESTART; }

Yes. You are using 'sh' rather than 'bash'.

You should either do:


sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -di

in which case the first line of the script will inform the current shell which program to use, or


sudo bash AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -di

to use bash explicitly.

Hi there. I' m kind of new in this Ubuntu stuff. I just installed Ubuntu 10, and my problem is that I have a soundcard onboard (that I deactivated from BIOS) and an Audigy4 in the PCI- Slot. The problem is that the Audigy doesn' t give any sound, at all. I kind of think that alsa is automaticlly upgraded to the latest lib and all, so I can' t update it. But when i tried the terminal command to play a track, it gives me an error that is an invalid device. Please help me, I' m noob in this, and if anybody has the patience, please send me a PM with the exact steps and everything. Thank you in anticipation, have a good day y' all!

Thanks a lot soundcheck! I now have HDMI audio on my M3N78-VM on an otherwise standard install of Lucid... That's been irritating me for ages.

#977 July 22, 2010

Im using Lucid on a brand new CompaqCQ42 Latop. The six months out of date ALSA does not work.

I have 2 options :

1) Butcher my system using this script. (sound does work then)

or

2) Install packages via synaptic/apt/dpkg etc.

Fortunately there are up to date packages available on Launchpad : https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable

I have tested these packages & they do work. At least mere mortals can then downgrade/uninstall if problems occur.

There is a bug lodged requesting (begging, pleading) back porting of up to date ALSA in Lucid.

I won't hold my breath waiting for it though...

download the script and save it somewhere
cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -d

I tried following this guide http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel

still i have no luck on making it work. ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have /etc/modules.conf nor /etc/conf.modules

anyone help :(

#979 July 23, 2010

Hello, I am using the dreaded G210 trying to get HDMI audio out. So far I have run the script according to this thread, searched and tried every fix I can find, but still no luck. Most recently I have been trying to install 1.0.23 driver but it does not seem to stick.

After compiling the snapshot I run the install and after awile I get the message saying that install was complete and i need to reboot. After reboot my driver is still 1.0.22.1 and my .log file is not in the tmp folder. Any advice?

That is the on-board sound. So its not even recognizing the Nvidia GPU as a sound card. (I have disabled the on-board with no positive effect.)

>more /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci

That the last few lines of my alsa-base.conf I also made the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and added the same lines. I am not sure if that file is not depreciated, but i made it regardless.

Any help would be much apreciated!

p.s I have the option of returning this card and getting something like an ati 4350 if that will work easier.:p

#980 July 23, 2010

@syntax-error: are you sure you ran the script with -d option first? (with synaptic and/or other package managers closed)

@NWK: it sounds like you have alsa-backports-modules package installed. Remove that and run the script again. Also see: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210%2C_GT220%2C_or_GT240

@NWK: it sounds like you have alsa-backports-modules package installed. Remove that and run the script again. Also see: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210%2C_GT220%2C_or_GT240

Thanks for the quick reply. I keep assuming the same about the backports, but when try to remove i get this:

@homeserver:~$ sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-asla-'uname -r'    Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-asla-uname -r

I am not sure if I am suppose to use the apt-get remove command to remove that package. Thanks again

#982 July 23, 2010

Use synaptic, or spell it right if using in a command (alsa != asla)

#983 July 23, 2010

I am on Ubuntu lucid server, so no synaptic. Also I hand typed that was a typo by me in the forum. It was spelled correct in the command line.

#984 July 23, 2010

You're using apostrophes when you should use backticks (shift + ~) e.g. - uname -r

#985 July 23, 2010

Instead of all this time consuming geeking around, have you tried just installing the pre-compiled packages available here :

=====>>> https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable <<<=====

cg0191 said: Instead of all this time consuming geeking around, have you tried just installing the pre-compiled packages available here :

=====>>> https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable <<<=====

Doesn't install the kernel module ;) Edit: to elaborate, I just tried installing and rebooting on a virtual machine and still get:

$ cat /proc/asound/version 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.

#987 July 24, 2010

@Temüjin,

I did with the -d option. I still don't have any luck makin it work. :(

is there anyway to make this work?

Do I have to try it again? doing the -d option?

#988 July 24, 2010

Ok, I have fixed my code using the backticks (that made me feel pretty dumb)It still told me there was no module but then asked me to remove a different module because it wasn't needed anymore. I have ran the snapshot upgrade 3 times, and also tryed the ricotz unstable package. All with no effect. I'm at a loss here. Here is a few print outs.

@homeserver:~$ aplay -l

The card I am using is a Galaxy G210 512mb. nothing shows up when I aplay -l but in the alsamixer it shows HDA Nvida but says there are no controls for it.

I just did a full fresh install of ubuntu lucid serve so I could start from scratch. I have installed current nvidia drivers, alsa, xbmc. still when I run aplay -l I does not list anything.

only problem now is that what ever i did to make this work broke my x11. I now get x11 <defunct> as a zombie process

#990 July 25, 2010

everything seemed to work until I see this message after I started to install... should I just install said package above by cg0191?

*  alsa-utils-1.0.23 configure failed

nevermind

the whole process works and I restart my computer and still no sound... maybe there is another problem I guess

#991 July 25, 2010

I did this and it fixed my no-sound problem. However, only one application can play sound at a time. Any way to remedy this?

#992 July 25, 2010

The Switch Blade said: I did this and it fixed my no-sound problem. However, only one application can play sound at a time. Any way to remedy this?

Are you using pulseaudio?

#993 July 26, 2010

I'm re-running the script again Temüjin

#994 July 26, 2010

I was able to upgrade my ALSA to the latest version, still I don't have any sound. I'm actually lost. This is my 1st time having troubles with sound when using ubuntu.

Here's my alsa info generated from alsa-info.sh

If you need anything about the information about my box please let me know, I need to make the audio work from both host and guest OS. I have windows xp as the guest OS, and Ubuntu 10.04 as host.

I believe so.

Temüjin said: Doesn't install the kernel module ;)

Edit: to elaborate, I just tried installing and rebooting on a virtual machine and still get:

$ cat /proc/asound/version

Intersting, on a clean install of of Lucid after installing the updated .deb packages via Synaptic from the above repo i get :

One assumes you are using the correct kernel? Cant speak for problems under a VM...

@SwitchBlade: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455816

@cg0191: I'm using the stock kernel, may investigate more when I have time/inclination

@syntax-error: I don't see anything obviously wrong with your alsa-info (but I'm not an expert). Try the snapshot (-s) build to see if the issue has been resolved upstream, and if that doesn't help, you probably should post to the alsa-dev list as the OP suggests

Worked like a charm :) got my built in mic on my toshiba satellite to work!

One quick update.

I reinstalled everything from scratch (ubuntu 10.04) guess what! I have sound! but, after i restart it goes away. Well after 3 installations I ended up not restarting nor installing anything and started to give you this update.

Here is the alsa info of my box http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=8b8e2d4ae073c3ae7c66ab23108ddde580846ac5

Could somebody help? I mean how come the sound goes away after I restart? Well I thought that the nvidia driver was causing it but then it should not affect the audio right. audio -- graphics two different things.

During the installation by the way, Audio is also ok, I mean if you do a backspace on an empty textbox during the phase where you are suppose to enter your username I hear a sound.

#1000 July 27, 2010

#1001 July 27, 2010

Thanks soundcheck! I joined this forum just so I could download your script, although I will stick around for other things.

It worked great after I changed the script so it downloaded the ALSA sources from a mirror rather than the official site (ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org was unavailable for some reason, but http://alsa.cybermirror.org/ worked fine. More mirrors here if others have the same problem.)

#1002 July 29, 2010

Anyone? :(

Its the same with ubuntu 9.10!

Fresh install has audio, after you restart it goes away for no apparent reason.

#1003 July 29, 2010

Oh you are great man :D Love you!! I didn't have to edit the sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , it worked right after I rebooted. And guess what? the plugged in mic never used to work, it works now.

Users like you make ubuntu awesome.

God bless you :D I will spread the word about this post.

btw, I had some problem downloading the ftp files at different times. at one time, i received even an EOF error. I am sorry for not keeping the log ^_^!

But if possible, please include the option of skipping the files already downloaded via ftp / downloading the files manually and then pasting them in required folder.

Again, thanks :D

Rufus Firefly said: I upgraded my OS to 10.04 on my Latitude 2100. I lost my mouse, keyboard and sound. I fixed the first two and used the script to upgrade the sound. However, the upgrade did not work, I still have no sound.

I solved my problem by installing GRUB2, using a newer kernel and reinstalling ALSA.

Dell Inspiron 11Z, xubuntu lucid. I don't have audio when connecting to hdtv. it worked on karmic - I used to have 'hdmi output' option somewhere in the sound settings.

I upgraded alsa according to the script and it still not working. I was not sure what to do with the config file and the rest of the guide..

^Your alsa still shows 1.0.22, so the script didn't work. Make sure you don't have alsa backports installed, and make sure synaptic or other package managers aren't open when you run the script.

Start again from the beginning (-d, -c, -i)

are you sure? cat /proc/asound/version showing this:

should I try purging alsa and run the 3 steps again?

Oh, sorry. Those are the package versions. EDIT: Can you play audio directly to the HDMI device using aplay?

Ran the script and now there is no /proc/asound directory. aplay -l gives

aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

alsa-info.txt file is attached.

When I open my sound settings, no hardware or outputs are shown.

Running Ubuntu 10.4 (64 bit).

Before running the scripts the sound worked pretty well.

The log file is too large to attach.

I can hear it, but it's coming from my laptop, not the TV. (which was the case even before installing the recent alsa)

Here I go again, well someone might bump in and help.. I'm really lost. I badly need audio to work.

Fresh install -- I have audio. after the First reboot, audio goes away. Literally none.

Let me know if you wanna see anything else from the configs that could help.

I tried leaving out the model and trying it with the new "options snd-hda-intel index=-2" line but then I got an "Audio Failed to Initialize" error (it at least worked for stereo before).

Also, after adding "options snd-hda-intel index=-2" I got this error when typing aplay.

Any suggestions on any of the above?

Hi

After upgrading to version 1.0.23. on my laptop all was well until I plugged my logitech USB headphones/mic in. The computer froze instantly, nothing worked, so I had to turn it off by force :( not a nice procedure when running a linux filesystem as you know. I booted with a live CD and then everything worked fine, I've also tried headphones in the normal headphone jack and that has no concequenses. This problem did not excist before the upgrade so I was wandering if anyone else has had the same problem. I've tried googling but found nothing. All help is very much apreciated :D

Well, I don't know the solution to your problem, but please take into account that *USB headphones/mic* is actually a USB sound card with headphones/mic attached to it. It is by no means the same thing as *headphones in the normal headphone jack*.

If you were able to use the USB headphones with the ALSA drivers in the standard ubuntu package, maybe you didn't include support for tha particular sound card when you configured the script (although, IIRC, the default setting in the script is to include support for all known cards).

What I'd try to do in your place is:

uninstall the upgrade (restore the original alsa and kernel packages).

reboot (to enable the original drivers)

plug in the USB headphones and verify that they work OK

with the USB headphones plugged in, check which sound card it uses. In a terminal type:

cat /proc/asound/cards

The last entry is probably your USB sound card.

re-run the ALSA upgrade script with the USB headphones plugged-in all them time.

If this doesn't work, posting here which sound card is in the USB headphones, may help other people help you.

Regards.

#1017 August 4, 2010

I resolved the audio issues.

Resolution, removed ALSA and pulseaudio. I installed OSS4 instead.

Thank you so much!!!

Could you please tell me what packages to reinstall? When I reinstall those that I can think of I still get version 1.0.23. when I run 1.0.23.

Acer Aspire 4745 snd-hda-intel

well, i upgraded to ubuntu kerner 2.6.32-24 generic today. And guess what? It switched to Dummy Output after I rebooted.

When I used aplay -l , it gave me a no sound card error. Again, when i tried to use the alsamixer command, it showed error as well.

thanks to your awesome script, I simply used the sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -i

Command, rebooted and the sound was back on line :D

In case anyone needs, aplay-l gives :

aplay -l

Question: Do we have to recompile/reinstall everytime a new kernel is installed?

PS: Thanks for the great script, really saves time.

#1024 August 9, 2010

I am still having issues with ALC882, Pulseaudio and Lucid in this thread if anyone can help shine any light on it please - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9698935#post9698935

#1025 August 9, 2010

I am in serious trouble.

The sound suddenly switched to dummy output again. When I tried

aplay -l it said aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found..

So.. i tried using the AlsaupgradeScript.sh using the -c switch, which gave me a rm -f .depend *.o snd.map* rm -f modules/*.o modules/*.ko make: * include: No such file or directory. Stop. make: * [clean] Error 1 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for ranlib... ranlib configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in "." "./.." "./../.."

So, I went through the helps available in internet, when i used this:

cat /proc/asound/version cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory

I realized that I don't have any asound folder inside /proc

I am using acer aspire 4745

here is my Alsa Information Script Link

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3c3d09baabe60fdabb93caea99f5651508a88975

Can someone please help?

#1026 August 10, 2010

Alright. I am confused.

The sound is back. But i am not sure what made it come back. I did 3 things.

I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and added options snd-hda-intel model=auto
I reverted the latest Alsa Installation, using sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -r
I rebooted plugging out the headphone from the headphone-in port.

Now I can only listen to sounds using the internal speakers. And when I plugin the headphone, it neither speaker nor headphone works.

BTW, now the aplay -l gives

#1027 August 11, 2010

I am a little bit confused.

After trying for a couple of times, I gave up and reinstalled ubuntu. Formatting the partition at first.

Then, when I checked aplay -l , it showed i was using alc269 . Then, after I used the upgrade script, it showed me that I was using alc271X .

before alsa-info output:

That happened to last time as well. But suddenly my whole sound system stopped working, showing me "dummy-output" instead of any sound card. I am not sure what triggered it.

when I checked, asound folder disappeared from the /proc directory.

Anyway, I do hope using this alsa-info output, someone will be benefited in future.

just wish me luck.. so that i don't have to experience the dummy output thing again :(

any ideas?

My Soundcard works now, but I cannot enable the visual effects. I've a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT chip in my grafic card. Has anyone an idea?

#1034 August 17, 2010

Upgraded ALSA drivers are now available in pre-packaged form, too. The package you want is linux-backports-modules-alsa-XXX, where XXX depends on what kernel you're running.

KLuwak said: Upgraded ALSA drivers are now available in pre-packaged form, too. The package you want is linux-backports-modules-alsa-XXX, where XXX depends on what kernel you're running.

Is that message for me? If yes: what should I do, to use the updated ALSA driver »and« desktop effects?

#1036 August 18, 2010

This is just what I was looking for!!! Outstanding. Now my ASUS 1015PE Netbook works perfectly. Thanks!

#1037 August 18, 2010

I performed the upgrade script but I still have no sound.

Could someone help?

#1038 August 19, 2010

Hi, it seems to me that the chipset ALC1200 isnt supported. May you can reply to me and tell me if it is supported or not. Thanks in front!

#1039 August 20, 2010

After a kernel upgrade

sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -i

was the key to get sound again. But the desktop-effects are still not usable. They worked before the Alsa upgrade. Anyway: for games my playstation 3 is way better then windows 7 and I've a reason to wait for 10.10. :D

#1040 August 20, 2010

Not one to use forums much, but I wanted to tell you that YOU ARE MY HERO!

My Xonar Essence ST is once again working!

#1041 August 21, 2010

thanks, worked for me too, but NOT before i reinstalled alsa-base:

last four steps as given:

sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -d
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -c
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -i
sudo shutdown -r 0

then re-install alsa, and reboot again:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm ubuntu-desktop
sudo shutdown -r 0

would be nice to understand why...

i did this twice, giving me back sound. in the second instance, after the last kernel upgrade (to 2.6.32-24 of 10.04 64-bit), no sound cards were being recognised at all, which seems worth reporting.

sony vaio, intel hda sound

#1042 August 21, 2010

I don't understand, why ubuntu is updating the kernel, when I use the hold-option for

linux-headers-2.6.32-24

linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic

in synaptic.

#1043 August 21, 2010

^Those are just the headers, you need to hold the actual linux-image too. As to why the script "broke" your desktop effects... no idea. Might have been a side effect of updating your packages.

#1044 August 23, 2010

Thank you for the script. My wife's laptop has sound again :)

#1045 August 23, 2010

This script appears to have trashed my sound system, which surprises me because I used it without problems when I was running Jaunty. Currently running Lucid with the stock kernel on a Lenovo Y550 with Realtek ALC272 sound.

After upgrading using the script there was still sound from the laptop speakers however I no longer can use the hardware volume buttons and when I try to open Preferences>Sound I get a message saying "Waiting for sound system to respond". I tried several hda-intel models to no avail.

So after giving up and running the restore option I am back to running ALSA 1.0.22, but I still have the same problems! Can't open Preferences>Sound at all, no hardware volume buttons, no headphone output (which is why I tried the upgrade in the first place).

This is a bummer, especially because sound worked out of the box with Karmic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

#1046 August 23, 2010

Rebooted and now I have no sound at all, and even my hardware brightness keys have stopped working. :(

Help please!

#1047 August 23, 2010

Just wanted to say a very enthusiastic thank you for the script. It worked beautifully.

#1048 August 23, 2010

OK, I ran the install script again and added a new hda-intel model option which has got me laptop speaker sound again. However, I still can't open Preferences>Sound and my volume and brightness buttons are still out of commission. Would updating my kernel possibly solve at least the hardware button problem?

#1049 August 23, 2010

@treesurf, your issue sounds like pulseaudio is borked. Try removing the user files it creates to generate fresh ones:

cd ~/
rm -rf .pulse*

Then log out and back in.

#1050 August 23, 2010

Temujin, you rock, thank you!

Sound>Preferences now comes back up again, my headphone jack works finally, and the volume buttons are functional again.

However, the brightness keys are still not working. And sadly, the ALSA update did not enable the subwoofer on the laptop as I had hoped, but that's not the fault of the script of course.

#1051 August 23, 2010

@treesurf, you might want to try enabling lfe-remixing by editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

gksu gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

resample-method = speex-float-1
; enable-remixing = yes
; enable-lfe-remixing = no

--->

resample-method = speex-float-1
; enable-remixing = yes
enable-lfe-remixing = yes

Brightness keys = make another thread

#1052 August 23, 2010

Thanks for the suggestion Temujin. I tried editing that Pulse Audio file, but the result was that none of my media players would play any music. Nor were there any new options appearing in alsamixer or Preferences>Sound, so I changed it back.

I'll start another thread about the brightness keys. It does seem odd that upgrading the ALSA would have that effect though...

#1053 August 24, 2010

Hello,

Great job which made configuring audio on dell-vostro 1710 a breeze, From no or weired sound to fully functional sound on linux which I never had in past. In my setup I have on board sound card and I have attached Logitech C500 Webcam with built in mic.

In audiocity and Skype there is facility to select Microphone which I used and made them functional No problems at all for arecord i tested with


$arecord -Dplughw:1,0 test.wav

$aplay test.wav

which reproduced correctly. Now I need to do a final and finer tweak i.e. setting default capture device to C500's mic and [COLOR="Blue"][B]make "$arecord test.wav" to record from webcams mic rather then from builtin cards plugged in mic which at present is also working fine.[/B] [/COLOR] Help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Raja

#1054 August 24, 2010

OK, have now noticed a new sound problem. After resuming from suspend media players will no longer play audio files and I must logout/login to get it working again. I'm assuming this is related to PulseAudio, although I remember having this same problem back in the Edgy/Feisty days. Any suggestions?

#1055 August 24, 2010

Short Alsa-Upgrade script install instructions:

download the script and save it somewhere
cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -d
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -c
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -i
sudo shutdown -r 0

hey I am new to linux and this problem. I downloaded the script but have no idea what to do with instruction #2. I put in "cd <your-download-dir>" and "cd <james-download-dir>" what am I doing wrong here? thank you for your time!:(

#1056 August 24, 2010

The proper syntax would depend on where you downloaded the file. For example if you downloaded it to your desktop the code would be:

cd ~/Desktop/

or if you downloaded it to your Downloads folder it would be:

cd ~/Downloads/

And if you downloaded it to a folder inside that folder it would be:

cd ~/Downloads/examplefolder/

or if you downloaded it to your home directory then you don't need to do anything at all. :)

#1057 August 24, 2010

The desktop-effects wasn't working after running this script. And every kernel-update was letting me run that script again. So I was looking for a better way. After the re-installation of 10.04 I've installed only the package linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic from the ubuntu standard-repos and my ASUS Xonar Essence ST works with "all it's extra-options". And I don't need ALSA 10.23: http://yfrog.com/3tarbeitsflche1017p (screenshot).

This info I have from the commercial support from canonical, which I'm recommending to every ubuntu user. [IMG]http://yfrog.com/3tarbeitsflche1017p[/IMG]

After running the script for my HP pavilion dv7, it fixed it.

However, now there's 2 annoying minor issues:

The physical volume control on my laptop can't change the volume anymore. When I use the physical control on my laptop, the little gray rectangular speaker popup shows up and it changes but the actual volume does not change.

The speaker icon does not appear on the taskbar anymore.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

for issue #2 just right lick on the panel-> Add to panel... then add the indicator applet your speaker icon should be back in your taskbar

#1060 August 26, 2010

OK, I give up. This script seems to have totally borked sound on my system, primarily PulseAudio. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling pulseaudio to no avail. Sometimes sound works, sometimes it doesn't. If I use one sound application, then no other application can access sound. Sometimes logging out and logging back in fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. Very frustrating.

The ironic thing is that when I can get it to actually play music it now sounds much better. If someone can tell me how to fix Pulse Audio I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise it's time to give up and start over with a fresh install.

Route your ALSA apps through pulseaudio so everything mixes properly (this link should really be in the first post): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455816

#1062 August 26, 2010

Thanks for all your help Temujin, I do appreciate it. I already did have applications displaying correctly in the Sound preferences, but I went ahead and followed your instructions in that link, restarted, and for the moment everything seems to be working properly. Hopefully it stays that way!

#1063 August 29, 2010

Perhaps this sounds obvious, but I'll throw it out for anyone dual-booting Windows (I use WinXP, might just be isolated to WinXP SP3) and Ubuntu. Muting your speakers in Windows will (generally) render you unable to play sound in Ubuntu. After spending almost an hour and a half trying to fix ALSA after the new kernel update, the simple act of unmuting my Windows Speakers did the job after reinstalling the script. Last time I will mute my speakers in WinXP Thank you for the script by the way. :)

Edit: Throwing out some details of my computer:

Asus 1000HE Netbook
Windows XP SP3/Ubuntu 10.04 Kernel *.34

#1064 August 29, 2010

CURRENT PROBLEM: AFTER running the ALSA Upgrade Script as per instructions in this thread in my laptop (Compaq Presario CQ62) the sound is completely broke... no sound from built-in speakers and/or headphones.

I am getting the following:

pkr@pkr-laptop:~$ cat /proc/asound/version cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory pkr@pkr-laptop:~$ aplay -l aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... pkr@pkr-laptop:~$

how do i download alsa?

To download ALSA using the package manager, type this in:

sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils

To download ALSA using the script, follow the instructions on the front page.

#1070 September 2, 2010

I posted a problem with my logitech usb headphones some weeks ago. I re-installed lucid-lynx and they worked fine, when I upgraded Alsa it all went to hell again, if I plug them in the computer freezez so I have to turn it off, if they're plugged in at boot up I only get a black screen and have to turn it of to be able to restart.

I'm using a Compaq pressario CQ61

edit: tried another type of usb headphoens and same problem so it's not the type of USB headphone but a USB headphone problem.

Hi All

I am a linux n00b, but really passionate about linux & just upgraded from ubuntu 10.04.1 lts to 10.10 beta(maverick) <you may say i am a maverick, but i am not the only one :D >

My sound stopped working after the upgrade & i followed the AlsaUpgrade script instructions here to a T & still have not been able to get sound to work.

My computer is a dell inspiron 1318 & the output of my ``` uname -a

[Linux 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux]
The AlsaUpgrade script revision i used is :1.0.23.
While looking for solutions on [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting) ,i found a command ```
wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh

my audio config is at this webpage http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=82b1ee683ac46a6c4ca77c5f2d9e7be46ddcd79e

I really dont know how to proceed further.

Please help me.

A big thank you to all the devs for making linux & ubuntu gr8.

Thanks augustya

p.s. One suggestion/query to the AlsaUpgrade script authors/maintainers/OP of this thread : I created the log files in /tmp as suggested in the original post, & after restart they were there, but after trying some other things & restarting a few more times, i cant find the log files in /tmp file anymore. Maybe the log file should be saved in the user's ~ directory & not /tmp.

^Maverick already has the latest ALSA. I suggest running the restore option of this script.

#1073 September 3, 2010

Last week I solved, an unusually long problem of not having sounds in a UbuntuStudio 10.04 installation (mobo Intel D946GZIS with a Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz, RAM 2GB). It was thanks to this forum (soundcheck (#1)) and to 'peefonic (#1057)'. At first I followed the excellent article of 'soundcheck (#1)', at the begining of this forum, but I was unable to get past instruction '5. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -c', because the compilation could not find some kernel files, and so did I. So I started browsing from the last page of this forum and found 'peefonic (#1057)'. I tryed to install 'linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic' using Synaptic, and saw that it was going to download and instal a generic kernel, but I use a -preempt kernel, so I stoped it and searched Synaptic more and found 'linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-preempt. That's it. Now I have sound and even Midi using Qsynth and Rosegarden, but I can not use Jack, but I will keep trying. I have been trying to have Midi since UbuntuStudio 8.04, so many thanks to you two 'soundcheck (#1) and peefonic (#1057)'

#1074 September 4, 2010

Hello, my sound appears to be completely broken. I started a new thread, but as this thread seems very active with new people reporting problems and asking questions, I am also posting here. Here is link to my thread:

This was a permissions problem solved by adding the user to the audio group. Please ignore this post.

Hi,

I have a fresh base install of 10.04.1 from the minimal cd install which is being used as a headless MPD server i.e. no X or GUI. Im having trouble getting Alsa 1.0.23 to recognise my EMU 0404 USB. I have an old cyrix iii cpu (i686), but it has worked fine with alsa in the past and does with 1.0.21.

I first installed 1.0.23 from the PPA. When I checked the version number it was still showing as 1.0.21. I got the correct version number to be listed by installing linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-24-generic from the ubuntu audio dev ppa. However 'aplay -l' states 'aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found...'

I set the usb-snd-audio module to 'index=0', but this did not help. Next I used the the upgrade script in this thread to install 1.0.23, but I am still having the same problems.

The weird thing is that on running the alsa-info script, the card is recognised. When I try aplay manually it still does not recognise the card. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=34e946d7de464d3eabb116613767cb1334557c0a

Can anyone see what is happening here?

Thanks,

Ross

Thank you so much! Just bought a new asus laptop, was ready to throw it out the window. Then u came and saved the day!

Again, thank you so much.

#1077 September 6, 2010

So... Interestingly enough I found out my sound works again, However I'm not sure if i worked before or after fiddling with the Alsa script etc..

The problem now however is that every time I log on to Ubuntu the default sound settings are always muted. But even when I un-mute it I have to select the Hardware tab in sound preferences, then de-select "Analog Stereo Duplex" and re-select it. Only then sound starts to work again.

Any way to set it up so that I dont have to do that everytime I boot up?

Thanks for all your helps.

#1078 September 6, 2010

What is the command for restoring?

I'm thinking about installing this, but i want to be safe.

#1079 September 6, 2010

To prevent your ALSA Mixer settings from being reset back to mute/zero volume each time you reboot:

sude gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa

Then comment this line:

load-module module-device-restore

with # symbol, so it looks like this:

#load-module module-device-restore

The above is one solutin that worked for me, among several suggestions I found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9640688&postcount=6

Argh, after upgrading kernel to version 2.6.32-24 sound stopped working. I ran Alsa upgrade script 1.0.23-2 with -r option and rebooted, and then tried to run the update again. Now I have run the script numerous times, tried snapshot and everything but it just doesn't upgrade alsa anymore. I'm stuck with version 1.0.22.1 and aplay -l doesn't even show my Intel HDA Audio that I use for HDMI :(

Hi folks.

I've been away for a while. ( There is a reason behind it: I am running a Squeezebox network now, which finally relieves me from all this Alsa hazzle)

Just scanned the least 20 pages or so. I am surprised that the script still worked out quite good for many of you.

With Maverick Ubuntu will catch up. The kernel 2.6.25 brings Alsa 1.0.23.

However. My EMU 0404 USB is still not working properly. And my RME mixer toolset is dated "last update 2003" -- the supposedly best supported card under Linux. Folks - that's really frustrating.

I am using W7 since a while on those cards without having any issues. I can do my recordings and playback at whatever samplerate.

Pulseaudio still makes live not easier. I still think it is a major mistake to push Pulseaudio that deep into the system. Who actually needs Pulseaudio???? Pleazze - just take Pulseaudio out Ubuntu.

Jack works with much less hazzle and can be removed with one command.

The Ubuntu folks IMO put priorities on the wrong things. This way they'll never make it.

Shuttleworth claimed to be able to catch up with W7 now. NO WAY!!!!! Since I am back on W7 for serious audio and video work, I had to realize that both systems are light-years apart. The devil lies in the details!

It really frustrates me to realize that the "Ubuntu folks" won't get the base right first. Instead they run after more and more flashy features. I am wondering if they ever used their Linux system by themselves for serious work or if they run secret OSX/W7 machines in the back-office.

Let see if we'll see any progress any time. Thx God that we have that Dual-Boot option.

Sorry - for being that destructive. But M. Shuttleworth set high exceptions with his earlier made statements. I can't see how he wants to fulfill his promises.

Enjoy

Hi,

I am on ASUS K52F and I initially fixed the "speakers do not mute when headphones are plugged in" problem by simply following the solution published here, but after installing the latest Ubuntu updates (which didn't even change the kernel, it's still 2.6.32-24) the sound was gone - from both speakers and headphones.

Found this thread, ran the script, sound appeared again, but now the headphone jack doesn't seem to work at all. I have searched everywhere, nothing helps.

Does anyone have any idea why there's still no headphone sound even after running the OP's script?

BTW I also checked alsamixer, and there are only two sliders available to me - Master and PCM. There is no slider for SPDIF and hence no option to control it.

Remove ALSA and install OSS, although ALSA used to work perfectly for me? That suspiciously sounds like something that will take a lot of time, won't work and leave me with some half-assed unfinished installations etc, because that's what usually happens to me.

If my sound works all right with ALSA except the headphones jack, I reckon some minor fix is needed, I will try to discover one before I mess everything up irreparably

I just can't believe that with every new Ubuntu release I'm getting thrown back to fixing utterly basic features.

It's the 4th release for me by now and every time sound is making trouble. A task as basic as handling 2 different audio devices is simply too much for Ubuntu. Great. I'll give OSS another try, which was my saviour some time ago already, but things are starting to feel uncomfortable. I used Mint, which worked much better in this respect, but it doesn't look to be the safest distro - got hacked. Possibly due to bad standard samba configs. I wonder how this is better in the 'original' Ubuntu.

Maybe this is the time to switch to Sid, Arch or Gentoo...

soundcheck said: Latest post update 05/10/2010

Latest Alsa-Upgrade-Script update 05/11/2010 Rev. 1.0.23-2.sh Latest alsa-info.sh update 05/10/2010 (1.0.23) Latest Alsa-Package update: 05/10/2010 (1.0.23)

_BACKGROUND:_

The audio functionality of any computer system belongs to the very basic functions of a PC and OS. No sound, poor sound, limited functionality - No use for such a system!

The main idea behind upgrading ALSA with attached script is to make Linux available to a slightly wider community.

The script bridges the huge delay (up to a year) of Alsa updates supplied through the official channels. By running the upgrade you'll have a much bigger chance to get your soundcard working or problems resolved.

The script installs the latest official stable ALSA release. (optional the even more up 2 date driver snapshot will be installed)

_Upgraded packages_

Alsa 1.0.23 (stabil)

See: Changelog Alsa 1.0.23

DRIVER=alsa-driver-1.0.23 FIRMWARE=alsa-firmware-1.0.23 LIB=alsa-lib-1.0.23 PLUGINS=alsa-plugins-1.0.23 UTILS=alsa-utils-1.0.23 TOOLS=alsa-tools-1.0.23 OSS=alsa-oss-1.0.17

Supported kernels: 2.6.24/26/27/28/29/30/31/32 family (including rt-kernel & NON-Ubuntu ZEN-rt-kernel)

Note: The restore currently does not not work on custom kernels!

_UPGRADE:_

The script is not in line with Debian/Ubuntu rules for package handling. It just overwrites existing files. You won't see any changes on the ALSA package-ids within Synaptic!

The script recognizes severe problems during the installation and will stop automatically. It shouldn't mess up your setup. If the script stops with an error-message nothing should have been touched!

In the worst case scenario the -r restore option restores your old system status as good as possible. It'll reinstall kernel, kernel-headers and Alsa related packages.

Ubuntu upgrades/updates might overwrite your Alsa installation once in a while (e.g. Major upgrades, kernel-upgrades or ALSA-package upgrades). You just need to rerun the upgrade-script using the -i option in this case (if you still have the compiled sources on the disk).

Disclaimer: I won't take any responsibility for mess-ups caused by using the script! -- Of course - I do my best to avoid these and support you as much as I can. ;)

As usual - Make a backup first! - A restore will just take 5 minutes with rsync. That might save you hours of troubleshooting and frustration ;) .

Please consider that I rely on your support to improve the script and really appreciate your involvement.

Short Alsa-Upgrade script install instructions:

download the script and save it somewhere
cd <your-download-dir>
tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.tar
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -d
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -c
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -i
sudo shutdown -r 0

Logging: I recommend to log all the upgrade steps, e.g.

script -a -c "./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -d" /tmp/Alsa_1.0.23-2_upgrade_download.log

You'll find a log file /tmp/Alsa_1.0.23-2_upgrade_download.log as soon as the script is finished. You need to run this procedure for every single step. Choose whatever logfile names.

_Test and Troubleshooting_

After reboot you can type:

cat /proc/asound/version

This will let you know if you're running the new version.

The easiest and most reliable test to verify if Alsa is working is "aplay" - the Alsa player application. If aplay won't work -- nothing else will work.

Make sure that all your channels are unmuted and volume is up!

Type in a terminal: $ aplay -l (This won't work on e.g. webcams with a microphone only. Here you need to do a $cat /proc/asound/cards to see if it is there"

If you see your soundcards, you're almost there.

To test your first (default-index 0 X=0) soundcard, type e.g.: $ aplay -Dplughw:X,0 -fcd /<your-music-directory>/<replace-this-with-your-soundfile>.wav or e.g. $ speaker-test -Dplughw:X,0 -c2 replace the X with the index of your soundcard index , which you find out by typing "aplay -l" - look for "card X"

Multichannel you can test the following way:

Note: If the channel mapping should be wrong you need to adjust it in .asoundrc

Type $aplay -L to find out about your pcm device . e.g "surround51"
Type $speaker-test -D surround51 -c6

Before reporting "NO SOUND" problems - check if your alsamixer-channels are activated and unmuted (gnome-mixer/volume-control/preferences)!! Very often there are headphone-jack, Toslink, SPDIF or microphone issues reported. Usually this has something to do with wrong alsamixer settings or more seldom with a wrong model-id assigned to your sound-driver in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . If you're lacking certain controls in alsamixer or your driver is not even being loaded, you should check-out your model-id in attached HD-Audio-Models.txt. I strongly recommend to try similar model-id's matching your codec to checkout if your faulty function gets working. I'd guess 80% of the reported problems (group: other than alsamixer issues) over here are related to the model setting in alsa-base.

Howto:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel index=-2

options snd-hda-intel index=-2 model=XXXXX

Look for:
Lookup your model in HD-Audio-Models.txt and change entry accordingly:
Save & Exit & Reboot

Please also have a look at these sides for further help:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

To avoid spaming the ALSA mailing list with problems, I strongly recommend to install the very latest driver snapshots taken from the source tree. There'll be a slight chance that issues might be resolved already.

Use the -s option of the upgrade script to get the latest driver snapshot installed.

(NOTE: The snapshot is neither an official driver release nor an official pre-release or release-candidate - however, it reflects an "approved" status by the Alsa main developers. Therefore you don't risk much to install it.)

Alsa provides alsa-info.sh. It is a shell script collecting all kind of data related to the audio environment. The Alsa designers will ask for the log in case we encounter rather severe problems. However before sending the stuff to Alsa the upgrade script should have been run with the -s function. The problem you're running into might be already resolved in the latest drivers snapshot.

Download alsa-info.tar first

$ tar xvvf alsa-info.tar $ sudo alsa-info.sh --no-upload

You can attach the log-file here or you send the output to the ALSA mailing list. This way you also actively contribute to ALSA quality improvements.

To make troubleshooting over here a bit more efficient, report:

alexmusbar said: hi,

i'm using BlankOn ombilin (it think this is same with ubuntu) in hp presario Cq42. everything is ok but only sound is not ok (there's no sound). i've already upgrade my alsa with 1.0.23 but still not working....please help me. I have a Compaq CQ42 here also. Yes sound is borked on Ubuntu but Wifi works without intervention. Opensuse 11.3 sound works flawlessly but Wifi is impossible to get working. I'm fed up with distro's not all working together to share knowledge & improve Linux.

#1117 October 5, 2010

Beware, that the script will overwrite your /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and it won't include your pulseaudio configuration anymore. Applications using ALSA (like chrome or flash plugin) will block your soundcard.

The solution is to include "/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf" into the @hooks ... files section of /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, so that the section reads:


@hooks [
        {
                func load
                files [
                        **"/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf"**
                        "/etc/asound.conf"
                        "~/.asoundrc"

cg0191 said: I have to agree with you. As I see it all the Linux 'Distro's" are little fiefdoms of knowledge with each reinventing the wheel over & over.

It's about bloody time basic functionality like this was sorted out. I'm tired of excuses & them concentrating on rearranging icons & eye candy nonsense .The funny part in this: there seems to be no distro out there, that in every respect 'just works'(TM), but almost all I tried can handle sound properly - except Ubuntu!

So, dito: before introducing new 'fancy' stuff like file sharing apps (which tend to weaken security) and polished looks, Ubuntu has to get fit in basic disciplines. I'm glad about reliable open source 2D-accelleration for my Ati card now, but it's amazing like ever since the Network Manager was introduced I always had to fall back to 'pppeoconf' to finally get a connection (luckily, now I have a router). Or like I had to go through the 'Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide' with every new release - now, even this won't work - so I'm left to running somebody's homegrown script in the end?

Sorry, no offense, but no!

Sorry, I should've specified this on my previous post, but I submitted quickly out of frustration. I am actually not using the upgrade script (I only posted here because there seems to be traffic and all you folks appear to know what you're talking about). This is the driver provided by the manufacturer (Realtek). So would I then be correct in assuming that I need to wait for them to upgrade their driver package to support the latest kernel in use on Maverick?

#1138 October 16, 2010

Ran the script hoping to get 5 channel audio. Now when I boot the machine I get audio and can see my card in gnome-volume-control for about 5 minutes then audio stops and when I go back into gnome-volume-control the hardware is no longer listed.

Any thoughts? going to run the script again with -r and hope for the best.

#1139 October 16, 2010

Also, I should add that if I run the script, I can get digital audio out. But I need to get digital and analog simultaneously, which I believe requires the driver I've downloaded directly from realtek. I've tried messing with the script to have it install the realtek driver rather than the default alsa driver in the script, but it doesn't appear to want to compile and install correctly. I've also tried installing the driver manually (which appears to be successful) and then commenting out the driver compile/install portion of the script, but that again doesn't show my hardware. I've noticed that the final portion of the script (copying modules) does not run appropriately with the realtek driver even when the script is set to extract the driver to the appropriate ${ALSASRCDIR}/${DRIVER}/ directory. Any ideas on how I might be able to get this functional?

#1140 October 17, 2010

Wow, I feel slow. It was trying to copy modules that were not extracted during the install of the driver since it was searching the script's install directory and not the directory where the driver was located. Once I adjusted that portion of the script, the install worked flawlessly.

Anyway, thanks for the script as it appears everything was compiled and installed correctly. Unfortunately, I still only have audio out of the digital output and not analog. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I have the latest alsa version and the proper driver installed. I guess there is some configuration setting somewhere I'm overlooking. If anyone is familiar with the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo and has gotten sound out of it I will gladly take some suggestions!

AppleBonker said: This is the driver provided by the manufacturer (Realtek). So would I then be correct in assuming that I need to wait for them to upgrade their driver package to support the latest kernel in use on Maverick?

You may be in the same boat as I am. I am trying to install the Linuxant driver for my Conexant card. I can only compile successfully with this script using -s, otherwise I get the same error I get with the .deb of the Linuxant driver. The driver also comes as a patch, but it only applies successfully to the stable version of ALSA.

The patch seems to claim that it is GPL; I wonder why it isn't in ALSA by default.

I don't think it's a driver issue on my end anymore. I can get some audio out of the analog ports on my card with the realtek driver as well as the standard alsa driver (unfortunately it is at a terribly low volume and distorted). I can't even compile the driver (not using this script) in Maverick. But, it compiles fine in Lucid. Both installs yield the same buggy analog results though.

Hi all,

Am having a problem with alsa on 2.6.32-25-generic kernel. started wit yavdr 0.3 and did a dist upgrade and got the new kernel.

So after a few hours of removing alsa-dkms and backports. I used the script provide here with the -s option to install the alsa driver.

the card is seen and the module is loaded but the aplay say no card available alsa info locate here http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7a0fcd97e3304a46e0557c5b91296882b148e23c

anyone any ideas.

The script does not work on Maverick unless you use the -s option to grab a snapshot. Maverick already has the latest ALSA release anyway..

#1147 October 18, 2010

Use the -r or the -s option.

#1149 October 19, 2010

Hmm... I know this is somewhat tangential to this thread, but I wonder if I could apply the Linuxant patch to the source code of Ubuntu's default ALSA. I have the alsa-source package installed, but I'm not sure how to patch or compile it, as it doesn't seem to have the same directories as the source code downloaded by this script.

#1150 October 19, 2010

And so, in the end, my problem was fixed by other means.

I added ``` options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and installed updated ALSA modules as per [this page.](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules)

The latter is probably what fixed my problem, but I'm not completely confident in my restarting of ALSA/pulseaudio while fiddling with the alsa-base.conf options (I did not reboot until the module upgrade).  

Sorry for the noise, but hopefully this helps someone.

#1151 October 20, 2010

I think the problem lies in the include file pm_qos_params.h

I added 2 lines to it:-

int pm_qos_add_requirement(int qos, char *name, s32 value); void pm_qos_remove_requirement(int qos, char *name);

I was then able to compile alsa (in maverick) with loopback.

Me too, i've got same error with "snd_pcm_hw_params".

Would you tell where to put that 2 lines? It's my first time using the Alsa Upgrade script. Thanks

I'm trying to use this guide to get NVIDIA HDMI audio out working on my Zotac ZBOX.

However, one of the tweaks is to apply the patch here http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=502799&postcount=13, but I've noticed that the patch affects /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.23/alsa-driver-1.0.23/sound/pci/hda/patch_nvhdmi.c which doesn't exist in my alsa source folder? Am I missing something? Is that patch no longer needed? I omitted that step and did everything else, but I still can't get audio out. Alsamixer shows the HDA NVidia HDMI as a sound card, but only lists one S/PDIF output and won't let me change volume on it?

I am already on 10.10 and, from reading the reason for the errors on 2.6.35-22-generic, I already have the newwest Alsa version.

Sadly, I have an issue with Razer Megalodon headset. If I connect them before I boot my computer, the sound card in it is recognise (7.1, 5.1 and 4.1) but, if I hotplug in the USB port after booting, only the Mic is seen, I have to type:

sudo alsa force-reload

and they will work properly. Is there anything in this procedure that would help or any ideas of what I could try out ?

I have been contacted by someone who has the same headset and no issues neither on 10.04 and 10.10.

#1159 October 29, 2010

Thanks a lot for this topic , now i am using ubuntu 10.10 and my problem is when boot with headphone plug in .They can give the sound at the same time ,so i must re-plug in or after log in system . So i do compile sources code with latest version 1.0.23 and read some pages before ,and get same result like #1153 . Can you give some tips ?

Can anyone explain how the firmware in the ALSA Upgrade Script is applied to the system? For instance, does it install itself into the computer's hardware permanently, or does it just reside on the Linux operating system? Would removing/reinstalling the operating system effectively remove the firmware?

#1176 November 11, 2010

OK, to be totally honest with you guys I'm a little confused.

I read this entire thread and see some people saying 10.10 comes with the latest ALSA version (1.0.23), while other are trying to install this upgrade script.

The upgrade script is 1.0.23-2. Is that version different from the one that comes with Maverick 10.10?

Mine says that the ALSA version is 1.0.23 yet my X-Fi Extrene Audio PCI-E card is detected but does not produce any sound what so ever over the optical OUT connection.

What am I missing?

#1177 November 11, 2010

OK I can't help but respond to this. When you say 10.10 has the latest ALSA version does that mean it is what kenpuu is referring to as the "snapshot" version?

I don't think so right?

If they're not the same then I think we're saying that "some" people "should" upgrade their ALSA version even if they're on 10.10.

I don't think 10.10 has the snapshot version. And yes, it worked for me writing -s. It would be:

./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -c;

I did that and it worked. However, I had a problem with sound in flash. It's solved here:

#1185 November 17, 2010

I'm trying to get audio to work through my G45 supplied HDMI interface.

I ran the script because some random other thread told me everything worked for him after that.

script hasn't done any harm and the "speaker-test -Dplughw:0,3 -c8" command that these instructions lead me to shows my front channels running through the HDMI but I can't find how to tell all other apps to use the HDMI they keep using the analogue.

aplay -l gives:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887 Analog [ALC887 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1

speaker-test -Dplughw:0,7 -c4 either of the following two commands gives me sound through HDMI:

speaker-test -Dplughw:0,3 -c4
speaker-test -Dplughw:0,7 -c4

and putting 0 or 1 after the comma sound through the analogue ports.

Where should I be looking to get the sound to default to the HDMI?

Also any hints on why I'm only get sound through the front channels and not the rear channels with the above test sound command?

#1186 November 20, 2010

Hi AppleBonker, I am having the same issue with the RealTek driver install script that you described below.

Could you please detail which part of which script you changed? I'm going a bit nuts trying to figure out how to modify the script.

Thanks in advance! Brian.

AppleBonker said: Wow, I feel slow. It was trying to copy modules that were not extracted during the install of the driver since it was searching the script's install directory and not the directory where the driver was located. Once I adjusted that portion of the script, the install worked flawlessly.

Anyway, thanks for the script as it appears everything was compiled and installed correctly. Unfortunately, I still only have audio out of the digital output and not analog. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I have the latest alsa version and the proper driver installed. I guess there is some configuration setting somewhere I'm overlooking. If anyone is familiar with the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo and has gotten sound out of it I will gladly take some suggestions!

Fails on compiling upgrade script with the newest snapshot. I have a dell xps-16 and added options model=dell-m6 to the alsa-base.conf file. The hdmi output still doesn't work so I thought I'd give the newest snapshot a go.

It fails to make properly when I downloaded the newest snapshot. I'm not entirely sure last time it ran make properly either because I put all the commands in at once. After running the install script even with the improper make with the newest snapshot, it says:

Alsa packages sucessfully installed - reboot your system now

This is a couple lines before the make error:

alsa-plugins-1.0.23 make failed

I think it is an error with libavcodec.a but where to I add in to run this compile with -fPic. Somewhere within the upgrade script file or is this done externally when I compiled it.

#1194 November 28, 2010

I think the issue is it's trying to use the libavcodec.a I compiled for use with ffmpeg and x264. Is there anyway around this or should I uninstall ffmpeg and x264 possibly to get back the original??

#1195 December 1, 2010

Anyone has this issue of failed compiling because using the wrong libavcodec.a file. Please add the below to use the system default /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. This was caused on my install because of the installation of ffmpeg and x264 from source.

Add two lines below at the top after all the comments.


PACKAGE=1.0.23

# Make the script look for libav* in /usr/lib first:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

This could probably be permanently added in the code where the compilation that uses libavcodec.a happens because anyone that compiles ffmpeg from source will have this issue but soundcheck can add or knows better.

Cheers

#1196 December 2, 2010

This thread is the bomb. I have been searching on how to get my zotac ion to have flash sound for days. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf add this to the bottom. options snd-hda-intel model=ALC888

Glorious Glorious sound with flash, boxee, mythtv, you name it. :) :)

#1197 December 12, 2010

Hi,

I have a AUS eee 1001PX, Ubuntu lucid 10.04 I have sound but internal microphone does not work

Everything is unmuted in alsamixer I am only using one channel (for example, right to 100%, left muted). I tried also removing pulseaudio but this didn't work either.

I already had the microphone working for a month, after doing this, but yesterday I lost sound, and after I reinstalled the microphone still does not work.

Should I update something or write some line to etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The content of my alsa-base.conf is this:

Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it anyway)

#1204 January 1, 2011

UPDATE: Found it was an issue with OSS https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/579300

I changed the AlsaUpgrade script to do --with-oss=no and the kernel modules have now loaded but i still cannot hear sound..

My receiver usually shows the PCM icon but its showing nothing at the moment.. hmmm..

even with aplay -D plughw:1,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav

ashzoomerintrack said: I am using Kubuntu 10.10

The make file failed and now i have lost sound... How can i revert back???

Normally, you can run the script with -r, but the build fails there, too. This has been an utter disaster here.

#1206 January 14, 2011

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the version in the repositories 1.0.23 anyway?

#1207 January 14, 2011

Hi, Looking for some direction.

I am running ubuntu (duh) 10.04 Kernel 2.6.32-24

In my alsa-base I see the below -------------------

Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it anyway)

install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet --use-blacklist saa7134-alsa ; : ; }

Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0

options bt87x index=-2 options cx88_alsa index=-2 options saa7134-alsa index=-2 options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2 options snd-intel8x0m index=-2 options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2 options snd-usb-audio index=-2 options snd-usb-us122l index=-2 options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2 options snd-usb-caiaq index=-2

Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci

options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388

Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard

options snd-pcsp index=-2 --------------------------------------------

I do not see the snd-hda-intel anywhere. I did not find my model in the HD-audio....txt file but willing to take some guesses.

My problem / issue is that I just inherited a Dell Studio 1745 from my wife and the sound works OK on the speakers, but not on the headphone jacks (yes there are two headphone jacks). Likely to use the machine with the HDMI output later on so I need to understand this all much more.

Cheers

#1208 January 18, 2011

Hi,

After running Alsa upgrade script with -d -s -c -i i see no sound devices.

any idea?

#1209 January 22, 2011

Ubuntu 10.10


4. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh -c

Fails, attached log file.

#1210 January 26, 2011

I have a SB Audigy SE. I can get 2-channel stereo sound fine. I can get 5.1 sound but from the right speaker and subwoofer there's almost a "ping" sound that emits with the test sound when I do the test from the Sound Preferences window. When I try to play music I get no sound whatsoever. I edited the Daemon.conf file, uncommenting the "default-sample-channels = 2" and changing the 2 to 6, still the same behaviour exists.

I did the scripting instructions at the beginning of this thread and I get an " alsa-driver-1.0.23 make failed". Is this because I'm running 2.6.35-24?

#1211 January 28, 2011

Hi I'm trying to get sound running on my ALC880 Realtek intergrated chip and I get this during the -c part of the upgrade script

I've been looking every where and something is saying about missing Linux kernel headers? but... Kernel headers for this particular version of the kernel is listed in Synaptic Package manager as already installed! Could you clear this up for a newbie, (And where I might find these missing headers?, This deafining silence is very annoying, and I cannot run anything else until basic drivers are installed) Thanks.

#1212 January 28, 2011

its work, perfect!!!! I'm have a sony vaio VPCEB13EB with ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.32-27

#1213 January 29, 2011

Never mind I found out on the Realtek ALC880 That you needn't panic just use the default drivers and only the back panel of jacks :lolflag: If THAT doesn't work just use sudo apt-get *alsa* or whatever it is.

See post number 1 of this thread!

Download the script and have a read through.

However, unless you have a really good reason for doing it, and your sound is working OK, it's not work the aggravation of running the script and then finding it has broken your sound! :)

Ok thanks!!! It seems that the new alsa driver for my soundcard has little changes which i assume it is good for the sound quality.

Thanks!

I obviously no longer support my Alsa upgrade scripts. That's why I've taken them and the description out.

Cheers SC

#1228 April 8, 2011

Huh? I wanted to download your script right now, and try to modify it. Bad move removing them.

I uploaded the last script I had on my PC in case someone like me needs it.

My only suggestion at this point, is that you give a lot more info. What is the exact model number of your laptop? What sound chipset is it using? What OS version are you using? Have you ever had a Linux version work on your laptop? Did you have sound and mouse when you booted from the LiveCD? Have you tried other LiveCDs?

I hve the amd64 processor with gigabyte mb and snd-via82xx as a sound driver. I had much tried to install the sound driver through ALSA. but every time it failed with following error while running sudo make all command
