ALSA configuration for Intel HD Audio
Hi there,
I've been fighting my soundproblem for about 24h now, getting tired of it.
Tried everything (and more), I was aware of this model issue because I used it before in my other Linux distro (PCLinuxOS) and it works like a charm in that distro.
But NOT in puppy 403 and 404.
When running the livecd Dmesg says model unknown for codec AC883 AND model unknown for codec AC268. When I change the modprobe.conf file model=laptop-eapd (same as I use in PCLinuxOS) and reboot dmesg says model unknown for codec AC268. In other words it recognizes the model for the AC883 codec. The speaker icon appears in the tray, but that's all.
Can't start alsamixer and still no sound!
When changing model to 3stack (for AC268) same story.
Why would it work in PCLinuxOS and not in puppy, I like puppy very much but it would be nicer with sound.
Any other ideas to get the sound working??

Have you used the official release of Puppy version 4.00, and if so, does sound work for you with that version?

I was to quick to give you an answer, I only looked at the output from dmesg and alsamixer.
When I tried playing a google/youtube video the sound was there!
Only lost my wireless, but using XP drivers with ndiswrapper solved the problem.
When upgrading from 400 to 404 the sound is still there with only one big difference: its half as loud (drop from 100% to 50%) as in 400.
Thanks for your superb idea on this one.
Offtopic: most distros have a button to go directly to the Desktop is this also possible in Puppy or should I open a new thread for this one?

Solved For IDT 92HD81B7X
I use an hp dv5. the strings returned by grep
were not listed by op, so I did some research
and this is what I turned up:
My Info:
Found on a SuSE forum:
http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release- ... sound.html
use your favorite text editor to open /etc/modprobe.conf
add the following line to the end:
then run the ALSA setup wizard, or otherwise reset ALSA,
you should be good to go, though I only know for sure this
works on hp pavilion Dv5-1004nr.

My Info:
Code: Select all
# cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X
http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release- ... sound.html
What to do:I was trying to help a user with this chipset some time back, and I did not know the solution then. Not long after that I was looking at purchasing a laptop, and the HP dv5 series was one laptop I was considering. Now I am very conservative, and I did not like the idea of purchasing a laptop whose sound is not supported, so I read in some places that it uses a IDT 92HD71B7X. So I had to search (again) for a solution for this codec, so I could make an informed decision if I should purchase this laptop ...
Researching, I discovered there was a bug report raised (on ubuntu) on this, and a work around solution found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/269586
So please, open your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, and add this line as the last line:
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
Then restart your alsa sound driver by typing the following into a gnome-terminal or kde konsole: su -c 'rcalsasound restart' and enter root password when prompted for a password. Then test your sound. A good sound test is to copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or kde konsole:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
use your favorite text editor to open /etc/modprobe.conf
add the following line to the end:
Code: Select all
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
you should be good to go, though I only know for sure this

ALSA configuration for Intel HD Audio
dr_apokalypse Thanks for your post. It gave me some hope for a while.
I followed up a bit on your SUSE forum lead and found out that the person posting the problem had eventually to add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4" to the modprobe.conf file.
I also found out that when I added the options statements to modprobe.conf on my machine, and then ran the puppy alsa wizard, the wizard erased the options statements. I put the statements back in and was able to reboot to restart alsa and the options statements were still in modprobe.conf. Testing the result, however, did not provide any sound.
Also, as could be expected, the IDT company does not provide any LINUX drivers. Meanwhile, back to further searching.

Speaker still on when Headphones are plugged in.
I have an ACER Aspire One (120G version)
# cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC268
I've added the following line to my /etc/modprobe.conf file
options snd-hda-intel model=acer
Sound works, but when I plug in my headphones, sound still comes out the speaker, is there a something I could do to fix this? - Thanks

I have a Compaq Presario C770US laptop. The on-board speakers work correctly. However, the headphones and microphone jacks do not work. When I open zmixer, the master and pcm bars work but the others (cd/line in/mic) do not.
The name of the sound card is a snd-hda-intel card, specifically "Conexant ID 5051 ". This card doesn't seem to have full support with the version of ALSA in Puppy 4.0 (v1.0.14).
I would be willing to give up the on-board speakers to get the headphones and microphone jacks working if there is a simple way to do that. Otherwise, does anyone have suggestions on how to get and install the the version of ALSA which will support all function of this sound card?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks rjb for the suggestion.
I have tried to adjust alsamixer and zmixer and sgmixer, but still the line and mic tabs don't work and I don't get sound from the jacks.
I have also tried adding options to the /etc/modprobe.conf file like was suggested by rezpup in early posts in this thread. That didn't work either.

FujitsuS7020 working. How get the keyb soundControl working?
I've been tearing my hair about the sound. On a slightly different model I got the sound going with TeenPup just using the Audio Wizard (though I had to try a couple variant).
On this model, S7020, I tried older and 2008 Teenpup without success. The master control in the mixer would be locked at the bottom.Tried 2.15 CE, Pup 3, pup 4 without getting it working. (Though I must admit I didn't check then to see if the headphone output may have been working in spite of no loudspeaker sound)
After read this thread, i checked the hardware: realtek ALC260 and then I added an option model=fujitsu and now it is working with Puppy 4.1.12. At first I just got sound on the headphones output. The mixers are a bit odd.
With sgmixer the control "phone out" actually controls the speaker. and pcm2 controls the headphones.
With the AlsaMixer one had to "scroll" to the right quite a ways before seeing "speaker". It is rather unusual that the headphone doesn't cut out the speakers, they can be modified independently.
Anyone know a way to get the Keyboard controls to influence the sound? Like [Fn]+[F9] = raise volume, etc.

xbindkeys works a treat...one binary and a config file and pretty simple to set up.(not worth using the gui). Then use it in conjunction with a little script or directly to set volumes via say setvol command.Anyone know a way to get the Keyboard controls to influence the sound?

setvolhttp://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html
when we eventually get an alsa update a card here does the same thing...odd ... could use xbindkeys for mute and restore speaker volume...there is probably a way of detecting headphones inserted via /proc/asound...... try cat /proc/asound... various files to test.With the AlsaMixer one had to "scroll" to the right quite a ways before seeing "speaker".

The current convention is to use the "acpid" daemon. This certainly works with the Asus Eee. See "Hotkeys on all ASUS Eee models"jeffjeff wrote:Anyone know a way to get the Keyboard controls to influence the sound? Like [Fn]+[F9] = raise volume, etc.

You will see that the situation with the Eee is similar to your Fujitsu -
Fn+F8: Decrease Volume Level
Fn+F9: Increase Volume Level
The acpid people suggest using the standard ALSA utility; amixer.mikeb wrote:set volumes via say setvol command
First check that amixer works by trying this command to decrease volume -
Code: Select all
amixer set Master 10%-
Code: Select all
amixer set Master 10%+
Once the dotpet is installed, start the acpid daemon -
Code: Select all
acpid
Code: Select all
modprobe fujitsu-laptop
Now try the F8 and F9 keys again.
Well that's handy though xbindkeys is pretty useful for more general uses such as getting multimedia keys working.The current convention is to use the "acpid" daemon. This certainly works with the Asus Eee.
I've been working on a HP2133 ...good machine but hardware control is more manual (plus I managed to wipe the suse install with puppy install but no hard feelings and they were using a 2.6.18 kernel)
The backlight keys still work but not sure how...
anyway drifting off topic
