[HOWTO]: Resolve Problems With HDA-INTEL Sound Cards

[XaresAssassin]

Edit: For some reason, Sebayon supported my Intel audio from the beginning. I just needed to enable Speakers volume and headphones in Kmix.

[peispud]

I just updated to 5.4 and and have very low sound and only one channel. I am frustrated as this is the fourth time that sound has stopped on a Sabayon upgrade for this very common chipset. My question is simple. Why not fix pulse audio as Mandriva has done or simply dump it as PCLinux has done so that everybody's hardware works ? I don't want to sound overly critical, but it's a shame when such a polished distro uses alpha quality sound drivers, effectively destroying it's multimedia capabilities. Is is possible to remove pulse audio permanently, or is it tied to system upgrades ? dmesg -

I now have acceptable sound after running " $ export KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 && kmix" , manually adding master front to the list of available channels, and boosting volume. Hell of a way to turn up the volume.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Much easier just to run ALSAMixer in a Konsole/Terminal and use that to change settings rather than messing with KMix. Just use the command alsamixer and press F6 to select your sound card (or use the command alsamixer -c 0 if your card is Card 0).

[peispud]

I thought so as well, but only one channel was visible.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Even when you pressed F6 and selected HDA Intel from the pop-up list of sound cards?

BTW, regarding your penultimate post, please use the Code button (top left of the box where you type your post) around console output that you paste into your post. It's a drag to scroll up and down the page to study lengthy output.

[peispud]

Yes, and thanks for the posting tip ( I was wondering about that ). Selecting the audio tab in winecfg also crashes Wine as it sees HDA Nvidia first instead of the analog VIA chip I'm using with alsamixer to get working sound. I'll play with sabayon later, right now I think I'll reboot into PCLinux for some gaming Enough audio troubles for one day :p

[Fitzcarraldo]

Ah, I don't think you mentioned before that you have two sound cards. Did you run ALSAConf (command alsaconf) from a Konsole/Terminal window as root user to select and configure the Intel card? Once you've done that, ALSAMixer can be used to configure the card channels.

If you have more than one sound card it is possible to configure ALSA to know and use them all: see e.g. Gentoo Wiki - ALSA and ALSA Wiki (notice the 'MultipleCards' link on the Main Page?).

[Fitzcarraldo]

My question is simple. Why not fix pulse audio as Mandriva has done or simply dump it as PCLinux has done so that everybody's hardware works ?

PulseAudio is "fixed". It works fine on the vast majority of PCs on which SL runs. Your problem is that you have multiple sound cards and you need to select the default sound card to be used, which is an ALSA configuration issue, not a PulseAudio issue.

I don't want to sound overly critical, but it's a shame when such a polished distro uses alpha quality sound drivers, effectively destroying it's multimedia capabilities.

This is nonsense. "alpha quality drivers"! The audio drivers are ALSA drivers, and they are not "alpha quality".

Is is possible to remove pulse audio permanently, or is it tied to system upgrades ?

See the fourth post in the thread Getting PulseAudio to cooperate
