No sound with my Toshiba X200 and F11 rawhide

chepioq · #1 17th February 2009, 05:01 PM

Hi
I test F11 rawhide on my Toshiba X200 and I have no sound.
I think it is a kernel's bug and I sent rapport to bugzilla ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485295 ) but I have no respond...
Somebody have this problem ?

I had this problem with my ThinkPad R50e. I tryped in this command:

alsaunmute

Into terminal. Restart after this, and it should work.

That don'work, I have:

Code:

[dominique@localhost ~]$ alsaunmute
/sbin/alsactl: init:1708: No soundcards found...
[dominique@localhost ~]$ su -
Mot de passe :
[root@localhost ~]# alsaunmute
/sbin/alsactl: init:1708: No soundcards found...

In user or as root

Ok whats happened is your sound card hasn't been installed. You will need to install the drivers for it. I'm a little hazy on how to do this, but it involves a command called "modprobe". A look on google will reveal more answers

OK I know that, but with F10 my sound card work, and for test I install kernel-2.6.28-3.fc11 from koji and with this kernel I have sound.
For me it is a regression of kernel and it is not normal, a new kernel would be a progression...

file a Bug against the kernel. this isnt bugzilla so dont expect help here

It's not a regression of the Kernel. It's a lack of drivers for your soundcard. The kernel doesn't contain drivers for anything. When you install, it takes whatever drivers it needs off the CD/DVD.

Besides, your using F11 which is still in Alpha/Beta. So there is a huge chance it will be buggy or not work properly. I suggest getting the correct driver for your soundcard and installing it. It is not a Kernel regression.

@wolfetone
I am with fedora since FC5, and my toshiba X200 since Fedora8.
Sound work fine with F8, F9 and F10 and this problem appear only with 2.6.29 kernel.
With F10, I test a 2.6.29 kernel (2.6.29-0.22.rc4.git1.fc10) from koji and I have no sound with him..
Also I think it is really a regression of this kernel...
I sent a bug-report to Kernel Bug Tracker and they search a solution...

You may well be running into the same issue I am. Check your /var/log/messages for errors like the ones in my report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486166

Hi
I post this bug on kernel bug tracker and they have a solution.
In console as root do the following command:
[root@localhost ~]# rmmod snd-hda-intel
[root@localhost ~]# modprobe snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x1
And after my sound work, alsa mixer also work...Also you would must have to
restart pulseaudio by "pulseaudio -D".
Just an default, when I re-boot this configuration is don't save and I am
obliged doing the previous commands.

Glad you got it fixed. Doesn't help me, though, so mine must be a different bug. Sigh

chepioq · #12 21st February 2009, 04:57 PM

There is a little problem with this command line.
When I do, in console after I login:
[root@localhost ~]# rmmod snd-hda-intel
[root@localhost ~]# modprobe snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x1
the sound work well and i can see two sound card (Intel and realtek)
But when I create the alsa file,like this
"options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0x1"
Sound work when I loggin butI just see Intel and sound is lag (around half
second)
I do other thing:
add the two command line in /etc/rc.local ,with sleep or not, for same result:
just one card and sound lag.
