Hello Listmates and Joop,

I'm running into problems also with the same chipset. Joop, I found that I do have audio but through a headset only plugged into the jack, not the built in speakers. I'm a member of the audio group and have the same issue while booted into root. In addition to the above, the mute function doesn't work on either internal or external microphones. The external microphone gain is set to max and can't be varied. Here is my portion of the /var/log/messages....

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hello listmates,

I have no sound in KDE 4.1 on openSUSE 11.1. I am a member of the audio group on this system. Sound also does not work for root.

The sound card in question is a ICH9 Family HD Audio Controller (according to YaST2), in an HP 6730b notebook. The module loaded is snd_hda_intel. I have checked in KMix, and sound is not muted. It seems the card is correctly identified and configured, but sound doesn't work for some reason.

I find these messages in /var/log/messages, which are audio related, but they don't mean much to me: Dec 22 11:44:49 deepthought pulseaudio[5545]: module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 80.00 ms Dec 22 11:44:50 deepthought pulseaudio[5545]: module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 160.00 ms Dec 22 11:45:03 deepthought pulseaudio[5545]: module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 207.01 ms

Could someone help me get my sound running, please, or tell me what else to check?

Thanks,

Joop

Same here on my laptop HP2230S on openSUSE 11.1. It is also use Intel 82801I ICH9. Refering to http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Sound_Cards, it should be working though :-(

Not only that, the fn key and the finger print reader also doesn't work.

I search bugzilla.novell.com to find out if there is reported case but cannot find one. I found there is a bug report for Ubuntu for ICH9 on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/269586.

The good thing is Intel Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] is working out of the box (WPA2) and I cannot complain about Intel GM 45 Express VGA (kwin is running perfect on KDE 4.1.3).

I try to configure the sound using yast and alsaconf but nothing works.

If someone here have workaround please, I really appreciated.

regards, medwinz

I had problem with sound om my 11.1 system. I uninstalled pulsaudio and now my audio are juste fine. Gunnar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Seems like you did now: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461660 I voted for it and added my comment. I suggest other people who have this problem with the same audio chipset do likewise.

I had to install alsa-firmware and awesfix after installing 11.1 to get sound working on mine - seems like the 11.1 build has issues with sound. Looks like a bit of QA needed to be done. On Monday 22 December 2008 16:08:35 medwinz wrote:

Ciao.

Thanks Basil. If it is "awesfx" than I don't need it in my case. I use Intel sound device, not soundblaster. regards, medwinz -- P. J.
