Toshiba Tecra 8100 sound problem: SuSE 8.2
by Stefan Parvu 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi, I would like to report a problem with a Toshiba laptop Tecra 8100 : the sound does not work. the laptop has a Yamaha Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller] (rev 02) sound card and YasT2 found everything ok but can't hear any sound. The volume is not mute. checked with amixer ! I tried to reconfigure the sound but with no luck. I will attach below my config : pluto:~ # uname -a Linux pluto 2.4.20-4GB #1 Wed Aug 6 18:26:21 UTC 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux pluto:~ # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted videodev 5600 0 (autoclean) isa-pnp 29672 0 (unused) ipv6 134516 -1 (autoclean) snd-ymfpci 44992 0 snd-pcm 62912 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-opl3-lib 6500 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-hwdep 4896 0 [snd-opl3-lib] snd-timer 11904 0 [snd-pcm snd-opl3-lib] snd-mpu401-uart 3360 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-rawmidi 13824 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 4000 0 [snd-opl3-lib snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 31152 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd 35940 0 [snd-ymfpci snd-pcm snd-opl3-lib snd-hwdep snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 3396 0 [snd] 3c59x 26064 1 ds 6604 2 yenta_socket 9760 2 pcmcia_core 41824 0 [ds yenta_socket] mousedev 4148 0 (unused) joydev 5632 0 (unused) evdev 4032 0 (unused) input 3104 0 [mousedev joydev evdev] usb-uhci 22096 0 (unused) usbcore 57836 1 [usb-uhci] raw1394 14516 0 (unused) ieee1394 32880 0 [raw1394] ide-cd 29404 0 (autoclean) cdrom 28192 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] reiserfs 200532 1 lspci: 00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller] (rev 02) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR+ Latency: 64 (1250ns min, 6250ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: Memory at efff8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K] Region 1: I/O ports at ff00 [size=64] Region 2: I/O ports at fefc [size=4] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 1 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- /etc/modules.conf: # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-ymfpci alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666 options snd-ymfpci snd_index=0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- regards, Stefan

Creative SB AWE not recording
by Gavin Johnson 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Hi, I'm new to this list, so apologies if this is old ground.. I have a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold from Creative Labs running on a SuSE 7.1 install. The card is half-working.. My overall aim is to record audio from line in and output to WAV file. The documents that I've been working from are: Takashi Iwai http://mitglied.lycos.de/iwai/awedrv.html Steve Crowder http://www.dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/parade/fe88/awe64config.shtml Marcus Brinkman http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marcus.Brinkmann/Soundblaster-AWE-HOWTO.… and also the Sound HOWTO. From watching the output of dmesg, /var/log/messages and reading from /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports everything seems ok (i.e. consistent with output from the above authors) with one ommission--the output of /dev/sndstat says 'No such device'. Functionally, the configuration lets me send output to the card--'cat drumroll.au /dev/audio' plays a drum roll, but reading from input fails using the command: 'dd bs=8k count=4 </dev/audio >sample.au'. The config I'm using is based heavily on Steve Crowders document (more below). How to explain the misconfiguration of /dev/sndstat.. Is it likely to be a kernel compilation issue? Kernel is 2.4.19 and lsmod lists: awe_wave 156160 0 sb 7328 0 sb_lib 33616 0 [sb] uart401 6096 0 [sb_lib] sound 55056 0 [awe_wave sb_lib uart401] or an /etc/modules.conf issue modules.conf has: #***************************************************************************** # Configuration to use Creative SB AWE64 Gold with PnP and OSS driver alias char-major-14 sb alias synth0 awe_wave pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1 options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 alias sound-slot-0 sb alias sound-service-0-0 sb alias sound-service-0-3 sb # end of sound #***************************************************************************** (alsa is installed but disabled in rc.config) or somewhere else entirely, perhaps in the configuration for awelib (awesfx-0.4.4). Or in the setup of /dev/sndstat, or perhaps sndstat is a distraction and there's a simple problem such as zero volume coming from line-in, or.. All clues will be pursued! cheers Gavin -- Gavin Johnson <gavin(a)fnarg.net>
