Hi, My system is an unstable Debian box and was running sound (with ALSA) under KDE(and sometimes GNOME) without any problem till a few weeks ago. But now I get no sound what soever. There is no sound if I do $cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp Also, when I try to play audio (audio CD or mp3s) with XMMS everything seems to be running fine but there is no sound! XMMS, xine, or other multimedia applications do not complain about anything regarding sound system.
Could someone help or give tips on how to go about debugging the sound problem? Below are some details about the system: arts is set to release the sound device after 2 seconds, and it looks that its working. Testing sound from the Control Center>Sound and Multimedia doesn't give any error either. ~$ lspci | grep Multimedia 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) ~$ lsmod | grep snd snd_intel8x0 33216 0 snd_ac97_codec 78360 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 53344 0 snd_mixer_oss 19872 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 92712 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24644 1 snd_pcm snd 55300 6 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9664 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10020 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm ~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981A at 0xfebff800, irq 201 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
