[opensuse] Elitegroup Motherboard MCP61 Sound
I have assembled a PC based on the Elitegroup motherboard with a MCP61P based chip. SuSE 10.3 installed and recognised all the hardware but there is no sound. The specification of the system is: AMD 5200+ dual core Samsung 500GB Sata drive 2GB ram MCP High Definition audio 6 USB ports 10/100 Lan port Nvidia GeForce8500 graphics card with 1GB ram (PCI Express) Realtek PCI network card Unbranded PCI firewire card. SuSE recognises the sound chip as "MCP61 High Definition Audio" but on testing, there in no sound output. I have trried running alsa conf and this shows that the sound card in an Intel based card and sets it up as such. There is still no sound playback. For now, I have connected a USB soundcard (Creative External 24-bit) for sound. Can anyone give me some guidance to get the sound working please?

Nothing silly like Alsa volume all the way down? (Don't laugh this is a common problem). -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

On running alsamixergui, an error message comes up : "alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: invalid argument". This could be part of the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I can remember a similar problem with an nforce 430/410 based board with the wrong driver being used. Do you have two bios setup options for ac97 and HD audio? Please send output of hwinfo --sound. I will try to remember how I sorted the problem but I think it was to build the correct driver into the kernel, in which case you can most probably blacklist the incorrect driver. Unfortunately I didn't post this problem, I sorted it out by trial and error. Regards Dave P

Dave, Appreciate your help. I have checked the sound settings in bios and the only option if enable/disable HD Audio. There isn't an option to select between AC97 and "HD Audio".

Try modinfo snd_hda_intel to give you the options possible for that sound card. Some usual options are enable, model, etc., which you can also set via the Yast sound module. Not sure what model you would use for that board. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thats the standard driver and its loaded. Try reinstalling everything that starts with alsa and if you're running kde run configure desktop (personal settings) - sound & multimedia - sound system - hardware and set it to alsa or autodetect. Then in the general tab you have a button to test sound. There are other things you can play with as well. Check your kmix installation. If you use gnome I'm afraid I can't help.
