LinHES Forums :: View topic - Alsa Error, No Sound...

I'm working on coming up with a solution for this but so far I've no luck (same motherboard). When the system installs and reboots, sound doesn't work. After running alsaconf it works fine. Searching online and it seems lots of folks have this issue w/ nVidia and snd_hda_intel.

I don't have sound until running alsaconf.

I think I'm having the similar problems with the on-board audio for my Asus A8N-VM CSM (neutron68's board). Ran alsaconf. Audio actually works outside of MythTV. I can aplay wav files, I can even hear the audio when I play DVDs with xine. But nothing in MythTV. When I look in /dev I don't see anything (/dev/dsp, /dev/dsp0, etc.) that I can tell setup to use. Also the settings in alsamixer are resetting after I reboot. Just wanted to post this in case it helps.

Have you corrected your audio devices under the Settings menu in the GUI?

That's what I was trying to say. I have gone into the Settings menu and changed the device to /dev/dsp. The problem is that there is no "dsp" in /dev. When I "ls -l /dev | grep audio" the only one that shows up is rtc.

Is there something else I missed?

I think we are experiencing the exact same problem. Did you do an automatic upgrade from R5D1 by chance?

I am recieving no sound out from my sound card after upgradeing to R5E50. I have changed my audio settings to /dev/dsp from /dev/dsp0. Ran alsaconf, selected my audio card, alsaconf went to load the drivers and threw up the following error: Code: Fatal: Error inserting snd_had_intel (lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/updates/alsa/pci/had/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error running install command for snd_hda_intel Setting Default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device. Checking for audio devices. Code: ls -l /dev/ \| grep audio crw-rw---- 1 root audio 10, 135 Dec 30 10:50 rtc Code: lsmod \| grep snd snd_hda_codec 159232 0 snd_pcm_oss 42912 0 snd_mixer_oss 18176 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 69380 2 snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 22404 1 snd_pcm snd 47588 5 snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11360 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11784 1 snd_pcm Any suggestions. When I upgraded to R5E50, at first the sound worked, now nothing, and I cant access alsamixer. I am planning on deleting the asound.conf file and retrying alsaconf. Thanks in advance.

Bumped to the top as my problem still persists and I am unable to find any solutions. Thanks in advance.

My Asus motherboard has the exact same audio chips on it. Cecil, are you saying that you don't have sound on your machine right now or that you simply didn't have sound until you ran alsamixer? Eric

I am unable to get sound even after running alsaconf. It gives the error I stated above after I have selected my sound card from the list. Code: Fatal: Error inserting snd_had_intel (lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/updates/alsa/pci/had/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error running install command for snd_hda_intel Setting Default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device. My sound worked great the first time I started the machine after the upgrade but then hasn't worked since. Hope we can figure this out.

Am I correct in assuming that this is only sound for playing back files? I am considering purchasing an Asus A8N-VM CSM in the next week or two when I go to rebuild my backend system (and upgrade to latest knoppmyth at same time). If I use this system strictly as a backend and do all my viewing on either softmodded xboxes or a knoppmyth frontend only install on another PC will I effectively be unaffected by this small bug?

When I look in /dev I don't see anything (/dev/dsp, /dev/dsp0, etc.) that I can tell setup to use, so I'm not suprised that MythTV can't play anything. Also the settings in alsamixer are resetting after I reboot. Just wanted to post this in case it helps.

It seems some config files didn't get put back into the right place. I ended up without a /etc/modprobe.conf, and a /etc/asound.conf. Still working on getting it to work.

R5E50 has actually fixed up some annoyances that I had with R5D1 (the rendering of menus looks alot better), so once I get the audio working I'll be really stoked. BTW. Thanks tjc for the hints post. That made everything else go smoothly. This "dev problem" is all I have left.
