YOU 9.1 kernel 2.6.5-7.111.19 update broke sound
Hello all, Yesterday I updated a bunch on rpms with YOU, including kernel-default-2.6.5-7.111.19 and a number of others (but none obviously related to sound). After running lilo and rebooting, my sound no longer works. rcalsasound stop and rcalsasound start work normally, kamix shows the mixer controls is expect, but no sound comes out of the speakers. I tried reconfiguring alsa with both Yast and alsaconf, without success. I have a SB Live! EMU10k1 sound card, on an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ I've looked on the list archives and Googled for everything I can think of, but no hints came up. Anyone have a similar problem? TIA, Jim Cunning
Try turning off acpi (pci=noacpi), I had loads of problems with IRQ routing and VIA motherboards, and currently running with this setting is the only way I can get non-crackly sound :) Probably a complete long-shot but it might work. Cheers, Jon. Jim Cunning wrote:

Nope. Nothing changed. Jim

Jim, You ran alsasound.conf and you did not get a sound when asked to test it at the end of the configuration process ?? What kind of sound are we talking about. System sounds or all sounds including your cd music. If it is just the system sounds it is arts. It is brroken and you will have to revert to your old one. Need more info. Bob S.

Correct....no sound, even from the test.

ALL sound no longer works--system sounds, xmms, kscd, xine, aplay--even though all those applications appear to go through the motions and think they are playing sound. Cable connection is good--the speakers "pop" when the system is reset for reboot. None of the mixer controls is muted or set to 0. There was no hardware change after the update--only a reboot. I have been Googling last night and today, because I have a vague recollection of having to install a one line patch to a sound module to get the SB Live! 5.1 card to work when I first installed it. Haven't found anything, however. Unfortunately, I didn't keep a record of what the patch was, so I can't go back and look. Jim

Found it (finally!) at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1 I was correct that there was a patch to one source file, so a quick edit, a "make modules" (with a long wait), and an install of the new module, and sound is back. I didn't try to decipher what behavior the patch actually changed, but I don't understand why this problem isn't more widely seen. Is the combination of AMD Athlon XP 2400+, SoundBlaster Live! 5.1, analog speakers, SuSE 9.1, etc. so rare? As the original contributor to the link I found did, I am quoting his page in case the original disappears. Jim ======= http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1 ========== 2004-05-19 No sound with Soundblaster Live and kernel 2.6.6 / ALSA 1.0.4 After upgrading from kernel 2.6.3 to 2.6.6, my Soundblaster Live suddenly didn't work anymore. Luckily, I found a solution after some googling. The original mail text is available at http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13529.html (In case the page disappears someday, here's a quote of the mail: What is model number of this card ??? is it SB0220 "SoundBlaster? Live! 5.1 Digital" ??? Has STAC9758 AC97 on it ??? Could you try this ?? in alsa-driver/alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c is line { 0x83847658, 0xffffffff, "STAC9758/59", patch_sigmatel_stac9758, NULL }, change it to { 0x83847658, 0xffffffff, "STAC9758/59", NULL, NULL }, Peter Zubaj (In my kernel tree, the file was /usr/src/linux/sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c) After rebuilding and reinstalling modules (make modules; make modules_install) sound worked fine. ===========================================================================
