Re: SB1040 X-Fi Xtreme Audio produces no sound on Squeeze
Dear Jasper,
Sorry I took so long to answer.
I tried your suggestion for speaker-test but got the following:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
# speaker-test -D hw:1,0 -t sine -f 440 -c 2
speaker-test 1.0.23
Playback device is hw:1,0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Sine wave rate is 440.0000Hz
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 8192
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front Left
Write error: -5,Input/output error
xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error
Transfer failed: Operation not permitted
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The only file I found in /etc/modprobe.d that isn't devoted to
for that file, so I don't know how to proceed with that.
In /proc/asound there are a number of files and directories
that deal with sound, but all of them are 'read only', even
for root. The modules file contains two entries for sound
drivers, both of them being for snd-hda-intel. If I try to run
'modprobe -r snd-hda-intel' I get that it is in use, so maybe
my card 0 is satisfied with that driver. Unloading the driver by
putting an option in alsa-base.conf with an index of -2 and
rebooting turns off the system beeps ( which have always
worked). Since the module seems to be determined by the
entries in /proc/asound/modules, which is apparently
unmodifiable, even by root, I can't test out the other
candidate driver, snd-hda-codec-ca0110
Does anyone have an idea how to proceed?
