Re: sound card not detected
Hi,
1. I uninstalled the alsa compiled by hand.
---
2. I tried to reinstall the essential kernel packages what I think might
have been affected by the manual alsa compile.
aptitude reinstall|[remove&install]
linux-headers-2.6.26-1-686
linux-image-2.6-686
linux-libc-dev
---
3. I tried to reinstall the alsa packages.
aptitude reinstall linux-sound-base
aptitude reinstall libasound2
aptitude install alsa
---
# These installed some more dependencies:
aptitude install alsa-oss alsa-source alsa-tools
!!!!!!
I do not have the driver
modprobe -v snd-intel8x0
install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-intel8x0
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for snd_intel8x0
"aptitude install linux-modules-2.6.26-1-686"
does not install anything
ls /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/sound/
oss soundcore.ko sound_firmware.ko
I do not have a "pci" directory I think I should have.
So where are my modules?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Just to be sure, I made a reboot. After that:
violin:~# lsmod | grep sound
violin:~# modprobe -v snd-intel8x0
install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-intel8x0
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for snd_intel8x0
violin:~#
--------------------------------------------------------
NOW I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
(Moreover, I am new to debian - I have used RH earlier.)
Thanks for your help,
tamas

I would reinstall the Debian alsa-* packages and the package for your
kernel.
After boot-up I have the soundcore (and snd) modules loaded.
modprobe -v snd-hda-intel
install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-hda-intel &&
/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-hda-intel
FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found.

<nothing>
That means it was already loaded, which is a good sign.
lsmod | grep snd

snd_ac97_codec 91844 1 snd_intel8x0

I hear the speakers being activated but only noise no sound.
Run "alsamixer" and check the volume levels. Make sure that Master, PCM,
and Headphones (if applicable) are not muted. Also, try muting some of
the other controls, for example SPDIF-related ones (if you have them).
