no sound in Daryna solved

[calymea]

Hi, due to a motherboard failure I had to do a forced upgrade on my system. I had sound before the upgrade using ALSA, the set was a Biostar board with an AMD 3800 single core, 1GB PC3200 RAM and a Samsung 400GB PATA drive. I used the on board AC97
sound set up. Worked fine till the board died! The current set up is an AMD 6000 Dual Core with an Asrock board, 2 GB PC6400 DDR2 RAM, 500GB Samsung SATA Drive. Using the on board CM6501 audio, Audio controller is listed as; Standard Open HCD USB Host Controller, DirectX version is DirectX 9.0c. I am using (or trying to use) ALSA, but no joy. Interestingly the same sound set up works fine when I insert a "PC Linux OS" live CD and use the default "Kmix".

You did not tell us if you use the main or the KDE edition - can make quite a difference
and

Audio controller is listed as; Standard Open HCD USB Host Controller

I hope not - this is - well, a USB Host Controller
Please post the result of lspci (in a Code box)

Hi Husse, thanks for the reply. I use the main edition. Not exactly sure what you mean by "lspci in a code box"? Thanks, Calymea.

you could check this too - I had to do this to get sound on my thinkpad:

taken from a post of mine -------


"Ok - I just went into sound again and under default mixer tracks chose pcm - I did this before a couple of times but it never took. Did it this time and it works!!!!!!

Sound

Sound card drivers are loaded out of the box but the default sound device is Microphone for some reason. You can see this by opening up the Volume Control window by right clicking on the taskbar volume applet and selecting "Open Volume Control". Because of this the special Volume buttons will also change the volume of the Microphone. To change this, click on System-> Preferences -> Sound and set Default Mixer Track to PCM."


it now works. I did have sound though prior to this but only adjustable by the icon in the panel - not the buttons.

check this - it may help or it may not even be a fix for your specific situation. Just trying to offer some advice.

I agree that was not quite clear, sorry I'll try to express it better in the future
lspci in a terminal (of course)
Then paste it as Code because if you do that your post does not get so long, "lspci" is partially hidden
As code we get a box you can scroll.

thanks Husse - I never knew about pasting code that way....

And check that master & PCM isn't [MM] but [00].

It's not the ICH8 and I'm not sure if the tricks for ICH8 will work - but perhaps you find a solution here

[calymea]

Hi, still having hassles. Perhaps a PCI sound card may be easier? Can anyone recommend a good, easy to get one that works well? Anything I need to know to set it up correctly? Thanks all.

[Husse]

The new kernel seems to be less tricky with audio hardware.

It would seem so - not that many questions about sound in the beta topic

[calymea]

Ok then. I know Elyssa is still in beta, but do we have a rough idea when we might see the final release (all going well)?
Thanks.

[calymea]

Hi everyone, looks like good news. Downloaded and tested Elyssa on live cd and sound works! So hopefully this will solve this issue, yet to try install. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

[calymea]

Hello, looks like good news. Tested Mint 5 on live cd and sound worked, have now installed Elyssa and sound seems to be working ok. Looking good at the moment, hopefully this a permanent fix to this issue.
Thanks to all.
