re: [SLE] Sound Card Still Squealing Away

Mates,
The problem is my nForce AC97 Audio Controller on my K7N2 Delta motherboard is squealing in my ears. It's enough to drive you nuts......... The problem is more serious than I thought. I can stop alsasound and it still keeps squealing. I can mute everything in kmix -- same result. I can be in runlevel 3 and it still squeals. It gets better when sound is playing, but then goes back to squealing when the file is done. YaST has even got buggyirq configured. I have googled and RTFM and still no luck. What is weird is that since this is a dual boot machine, I can confirm that there is not problem at all like this with XP. It has to be kernel or interrupt related. Has anybody else 'heard' about this issue?? (no pun intended) I can hold down the cursor keys and scroll through text and the squeal gets more choppy (i.e. goes away when the key strokes are processed) Literally, my computer sounds like it is generating Morse code as I type. Here are some additional details on my config.

I still can't get the soundcard to quick squealing/buzzing under suse 9.2. I'm running out of things to try. Anybody have any other thoughts? Details below:
I had the same problem early on with an upgrade of KDE, where the problem appeared, but not in Gnome. My card is an Ensoniq AC97 (ENS1371), which also uses module snd_ac97_codec; and, I also have an onboard chip that I disabled in BIOS. The solution was to start an alsa mixer (but may work with kmix also) and disable IEC958-2 -- IEC958 is okay. Squealing stopped immediately, but returned unexpectedly several times. For some reason KDE would reactivate that setting. I now use Gnome only, no more KDE for me. Hope your problem turns out to be related, then you can let me know how to make the change permanent.

It starts to squeal very very early in the boot process. (Almost as fast as I can hit escape to see the detail of the boot process). I boot into runlevel 3 because I use the CLI most of the time.

Hi I bought a PCMCIA card SMC 2835 for my laptop and tryied to configure it in Yast it was reconised and I configured it. But I'm not able to turn it on at least the link light. What can I do to solve this situation??? When it loads at the boot it says that it uses prisma driver. Has anyone used this card and has it working??? Thanks

Try with vga=771 as boot parameter. This will switch to a lower resolution and the splash will not be shown. Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85

I had a noise problem from my speakers with 9.1 (though I didn't think I had it originally). Tried different kernels, etc, to no avail. But booting off of Knoppix, sound sounded good, leading me to believe it wasn't hardware. Bought 9.2, same problem. With a lot of trial an error, I found 3D sound on one of the mixers. Turned that off, sound is good again. Needless to say, I don't have a 3D set of speakers.

I haven't been following this but at one time (with an older SB live card) there was quite a sound coming from the speakers. I dug down in some of the advanced settings and found something like 'ic928' or a similar weird name. Turning that setting off squelched the noise with no ill effects. Just my $.02

I haven't been following this but at one time (with an older SB live card) there was quite a sound coming from the speakers. I dug down in some of the advanced settings and found something like 'ic928' or a similar weird name.
IEC958 on my machine. It's the digital (SP/DIF) output, which with my card shared the headphone output! So yes, switching it off (or muting it, in alsamixer parlance) should remove the horrible hissing noise.
Turning that setting off squelched the noise with no ill effects.
Unless you plugged a digital interconnect in to the socket, and wanted e.g. your cinema amp to be able to decode digital audio streams for you! ;) I hadn't been following the thread either, but I suspect that this was the cause - so, to the OP, if you haven't already tried, then mute everything in alsamixer, then unmute the things you actually use! -- Bill
