Problem with soundcard

[c7p]

Hello world , i installed lmde yesterday and it's pretty nice. I have still a problem with the soundcard (i had it also on ubuntu 10.04)... so let's see. My soundcard's module is cmipci and you can see more about it below (card 1)

Code: Select all

aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SI7012 [SiS SI7012], device 0: Intel ICH [SiS SI7012]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 0: CMI8738 [C-Media PCI DAC/ADC]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 1: CMI8738 [C-Media PCI 2nd DAC]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: CMI8738 [C-Media CMI8738], device 2: CMI8738 [C-Media PCI IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


By default the card is playing sound but it has trouble with it (by lagging or stop playing) all the time. I may hear two minutes of a 5-minute song but then everything stops ... so i installed the alsa drivers from the scratch and here I am wanting to select the right card. The question is (for now ) how can i select the CMI8738 for default sound device.

ps: i wrote all the story of my cards problem in case it helps next. I hope with the selection of the card everything would be fine

Run this command in a terminal and then paste the output.

Code: Select all

aplay -v some_file.wav

I'm not sure if it will help show the problem, but I saw it requested in a Debian forum where sound was stuttering and skipping. See if you get and underrun error.

Here is the output, while playing it did one skipping or crash (whatever it was) after

Sound was working very well once the system was installed, but I lost sound on rhythmbox and banshee with the update on 10/8/2010.

By the way, I was very impressed with the Linux Mint Debian installer program. It is great that LMDE helps improve the code of the general Debian distribution and the Linux community in general. Thank you!

[Bruce Bouchard]

I found the solution to my sound problem. I went into pulse audio volume control to the configuration window. The default was input instead out outputting stereo. Works great.

Thanks again for this great distribution!

@c7p

THIS is the post from which I obtained the command. It went on to say

Some hardware may not play audio other than its native speed very well. Normally sound cards have a native speed of either 44100Hz or 48000Hz stereo. So try to play either of the two.

I notice in your output that the sound card and slave (?) both show rates of 48000

Code: Select all

Hardware PCM card 0 'C-Media CMI8738' device 0 subdevice 0
  rate         : 48000 
  exact rate   : 48000 (48000/1)

Slave: Direct Stream Mixing PCM
rate         : 48000
exact rate   : 48000 (48000/1)

while the wave file and converter show 41000

Code: Select all

Playing WAVE 'Cold Play- Clocks.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
Plug PCM: Rate conversion PCM (48000, sformat=S16_LE)
Converter: libspeex (builtin)
  rate         : 44100
  exact rate   : 44100 (44100/1)

What I do not know is the significance. Is this indicating that the file was not converted to a rate of 48000 and you therefore had the underrun? Or did the converter do it's job and change the rate from 41000 to 48000. The original poster tells how he was able to get mPlayer playing well, but streaming music in MPD will still skip and stutter.

I did find a THREAD in the Arch Linux forums about sound playback being muted after a few minutes with your same soundcard. The 11th of the responders said this in July of this year.

Hi, I had the same problem, and it seems to be gone after replacing sdl with sdl-pulse http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29855 and thus using pulseaudio instead of directly using alsa.

A Fedora bug report about sound issues with your sound card, had a number of suggestions, beginning with about comment #20 this seemed to work most often

Code: Select all

echo 4 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug

but I do not think it applies in your case. If your LMDE is like mine, I did not have xrun_debug file in that directory into which to add the debug level of 4. I do not recall if the echo command will create the file if not present, the man page for echo did not say.

I do not know if any of this will lead you to a solution, but I hope it helps.

[c7p]

Thank you honestly for your help. Take a look of this http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cmipci. I'm having trouble installing the alsa-drivers package. I run ./configure without a problem but the make command shows me errors http://pastebin.gr/1095.
(Δεν υπάρχει τέτοιο αρχείο ή κατάλογος => No such file or directory).

[dawgdoc]

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cmipci.
(Δεν υπάρχει τέτοιο αρχείο ή κατάλογος => No such file or directory).

Just above the No such file or directory did you notice

#
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
#
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
#
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.

Also that the Matrix:Module-cmipci page of the alsa-project site was last modified on 24 January 2008, I do not know if changes in the distro have been so significant as to invalidate this page or not.

I found the solution to my sound problem. I went into pulse audio volume control to the configuration window. The default was input instead out outputting stereo. Works great.

Thanks again for this great distribution!

Bruce

i had the same problem, did alsa and else with no result, see this posting...set the pulse audio and there goes the sound...

thx very much for the solution...

[c7p]

The problem was solved BUT after almost a month and out of nowhere while i was listening to music i hear a BAP from speakers and no sound !
After that and while the system is starting i noticed that in the whole texts (dev to be populated ,loading ... etc) there is one line relevant to soundcard:
cmipci: invalid PCM pointer: 0xffff

What's the problem ?

Here is the output of dmesg if that helps

Hm I think I found solution on forum viewtopic.php?f=141&t=58616. I haven't worked much with pc with that solution aplied so ... i will update the post soon.

UPDATE: I haven't noticed any further problem until now so the solution works for me -i hope it does for you-.

[c7p]

This is so unlogical ...... the same problem again !
While i was hearing music (i heard a) baap and no sound from now and then -actually there was a "crached" sound when i entered to my system after the problem-.
I apply the solution that worked before but it doesn't now .,..

dmesg : cmipci: invalid PCM pointer: 0xffff

Any idea ?
