The sound card is detected, but no sound.

**rahoo** · 10-12-2004, 01:03 PM

I have this sound card: Integrated audio driver for Intel desktop board D865PERL using AC '97 processing with the Analog Devices (ADI) AD1885, AD1980, AD1981A or AD1981B codecs.

In Knoppix, this sound card is detected like i810_audio. But in spite of that, there isn't sound.

I have tried with both versions of kernel (2.4 and 2.6) and I use Knoppix version 3.6. In spite of this, the sound keeps on without working.

Is KMix can detect your sound card?

Have you tried alsa?

KMix:
There isn't any mixer to select.

Alsa:
Settings > Control Center > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System

If I select "Autodetect" in the option "Select the audio device", I get this error:
"Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."

If "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" is selected, I get this error:
"Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."

I saw this in bug section:

26. Alsa cheatcode doesn't work with knoppix3.6. I mean i've tried all kinds of tricks onder my ampit. Even ordnary install(kernel 2.4) is also not giving sound. I have intel AC97 i810 onboard soundcard. What it does is that it makes KMix look emty with exception of microphone sign, which means one has no means of sound volume controls to see if sound is muted.All these are for kernel 2.6.7.when only "alsa" is used i noticed that after "autoconfiguration", it 'starts building modules for alsa', there it stops.After boot completes one gets this "unable to start sound i/o'. When 'alsa=es1938' is used,it builds all the necessary modules and whatever unlike just "alsa". yet one gets the same KMix emptiness and the 'no sound error'.On the other hand kernel 2.4 shows KMix volume controls yet also no sound. Meanwhile knoppix3.4 did not give such headaches. It even recognizes AC97 on KMix.(Francis,NL.) (all this is also true for me - markb)

I also have an intel AC97 i810 onboard soundcard on my brand new Dell Dimension4600. With my other pc's there wasn't a problem, but now? It must be possible, though, I'm running Suse9.1 on it and sound isn't a problem at all, so. I guess we must load another module for the sound, but I'm not Linux aware enough to find that easy...If I find out, I'll put a hint on this forum...
Keep the good work rollin'
