I reported early the hideous crackling sound that was emitted
whenever I ran anything requiring sound on my new wheezy
install. I was then running vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae . I
was advised to install a new kernel. vmlinuz-3.16-0.bpo.2-686-pae
was available as a backport, so I installed it. Now I have
no sound whatsoever, and, seemingly, no way of setting sound to
play.
Here is some information about my system, gleaned mostly from
/proc/asound/.
cat /proc/asound/version yields:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.16-0.bpo.2-686-pae
This seems to imply that ALSA is compiled into this kernel
cat /proc/asound/cards yields:
0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf7d14000 irq 46
1 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7d10000 irq 44
I already knew that I had two sound cards. I have read
that alsa supports up to 8!
cat /proc/asound/devices yields:
1: : sequencer
2: [ 1] : control
3: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
4: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
5: [ 1- 2]: digital audio capture
6: [ 1- 0]: hardware dependent
7: [ 0] : control
8: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
9: [ 0- 7]: digital audio playback
10: [ 0- 8]: digital audio playback
11: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
33: : timer
cat /proc/asound/hwdep yields:
01-00: HDA Codec 0
00-00: HDA Codec 0
cat /proc/asound/modules yields:
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
I believe I have a good kernel, my speakers are old, plugged in
correctly, and turned on. So -- I hope -- it is now a question
of configuration. I hope that someone knowledgeable about ALSA
will tell me what to do further.
TIA,
Alan
