Hi debian folks, I installed Debian last week (for the first time), and things generally went very nicely.
One thing which isn't yet working though is sound. I'm currently using the kernel from debian-backports (linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64) in order to get my ethernet working, but the same thing happenned with the stock 2.6 kernel too (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64) Any suggestions at all of things to try would be most appreciated. Below is hopefully relevant output from interesting commands. Many thanks, Nick 'alsactl init' returns the following: Unknown hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC887-VD" "HDA:10ec0887,1458a002,00100302" "0x1458" "0xa002" Hardware is initialized using a guess method /usr/share/alsa/init/default:26: control element not found /usr/share/alsa/init/default:26: control element not found /usr/share/alsa/init/default:41: control element not found 'alsamixer' fails with: cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument the relevant part of 'lspci -knnvv': 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Cougar Point High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1c20] (rev 04) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device [1458:a002] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 41 Region 0: Memory at f7d00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=55mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee0300c Data: 4171 Capabilities: [70] Express (v1) Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s <64ns, L1 <1us ExtTag- RBE- FLReset+ DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop- MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 128 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr+ TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed unknown, Width x0, ASPM unknown, Latency L0 <64ns, L1 <1us ClockPM- Surprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; Disabled- Retrain- CommClk- ExtSynch- ClockPM- AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed unknown, Width x0, TrErr- Train- SlotClk- DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- Capabilities: [100 v1] Virtual Channel Caps: LPEVC=0 RefClk=100ns PATEntryBits=1 Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- Ctrl: ArbSelect=Fixed Status: InProgress- VC0: Caps: PATOffset=00 MaxTimeSlots=1 RejSnoopTrans- Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- TWRR128- WRR256- Ctrl: Enable+ ID=0 ArbSelect=Fixed TC/VC=01 Status: NegoPending- InProgress- VC1: Caps: PATOffset=00 MaxTimeSlots=1 RejSnoopTrans- Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- TWRR128- WRR256- Ctrl: Enable+ ID=1 ArbSelect=Fixed TC/VC=22 Status: NegoPending- InProgress- Capabilities: [130 v1] Root Complex Link Desc: PortNumber=0f ComponentID=00 EltType=Config Link0: Desc: TargetPort=00 TargetComponent=00 AssocRCRB- LinkType=MemMapped LinkValid+ Addr: 00000000fed1c000 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel 'lsmod|grep snd' output: snd_hda_codec_realtek 188417 1 snd_hda_intel 26023 0 snd_hda_codec 81579 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13148 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 67465 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_seq 44678 0 snd_timer 22658 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 13155 1 snd_seq snd 52458 8 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_seq, snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 13014 1 snd snd_page_alloc 12969 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
