[Bug 217300] New: no sound on G5, snd-aoa not known by yast
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217300 Summary: no sound on G5, snd-aoa not known by yast Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 plus Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: power-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com some early G5 models did work ok with the snd-powermac driver. But the newer ones do now require a new snd-aoa driver. Unfortunately, yast always picks snd-powermac. how does yast know what card to choose? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

For PPC there are these PCI IDs: // id's for powermacs: ["snd-powermac", "0x30401", "0x30010"], ["snd-powermac", "0x30401", "0x30011"], ["snd-powermac", "0x30401", "0x30012"] The table is in format <driver> <vendor_ID> <device_ID>. Do you know for which devices should yast use "snd-aoa" instead of "snd-powermac"? If you don't know I can add "snd-aoa" driver to the DB, but user will have to change the driver manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217300 ------- Comment #10 from olh@novell.com 2006-11-28 09:14 MST ------- How can we make progress here? There are actually two bugs. One is that snd-powermac is always loaded. An easy fix for this is the usage of the ppc_postinstall.sh script, it should run code like this: if test "`find /proc/device-tree -name layout-id`" != "" then echo 'install snd-powermac /bin/true' >> /etc/modprobe.d/sound-powermac fi this prevents snd-powermac from loading, it is equal to the kernel code quoted above. Loading snd-powermac will appearently confuse snd-aoa in some way. The seond issue is that all audio device nodes are not given to the desktop user. This is not specific to snd-aoa. see bug #106294 For 10.2 I suggest to blacklist snd-powermac on all systems with a 'layout-id' file, the driver wont do anything anyway. All the user has to do is to add itself to the group audio. I dont know which bright guy removed the default user from group audio, it certainly breaks things. After that, run alsamixer to unmute the devices. This seems to be persistant across reboots. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

"snd-powermac" has these entries in the yast sound card DB: "PowerBook, Apple", "PowerMac, Apple", "iBook, Apple", "iMac, Apple". Which values should be assigned to "snd-aoa"?

I think we do not have a recent enough powerbook with a 'layout-id' file from the firmware. but there are some. How exactly do you plan to match them? Just based on hwinfo data? Right now hwinfo returns always snd-powermac, its probably hardcoded.

It seems you better load 'snd_aoa_fabric_layout', this will trigger the autoloading. At least after rcalsasound stop (twice), and modprobe -v snd_aoa_fabric_layout, sound will work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
