Dell Inspiron 1525 - Sound and Xorg Conf

Hey everyone, hope I'm posting this in the right forum.
I have my arch install on an Inspiron 1525 as the title states. I have Xorg and OSS installed on it currently. I need to know two things:
1. I consulted the Arch Wiki for the laptop and it suggests that OSS provides louder and better sound than ALSA. Is this a confirmed thing, and if so is there anything special with OSS that I have to do to get sound nice and loud? This is a biggie because the speakers in their current state put out fairly low sound. I was hoping this could be improved.
2. Under Xorg, I have the drivers installed correctly and everything. I plan on using input hotplugging so devices aren't that big an issue. What I'd like to know is how to setup the conf with the monitor and intel integrated graphics that come with the laptop. This is more me just being confused with Xorg than anything else, though if anyone has a good sample Xorg conf for this laptop that I could use, I would greatly appreciate it.
Any other issues with the laptop that would be good to know are welcome as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't know is there any sound loudness improvement when using OSS, but I would suggest you to use ALSA. I have a similar laptop (Inspiron 1300) so my xorg.conf may be useful to you, but you will need to change some lines to match your graphic card.:)

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 sound problem

    Hello!
    I installed Arch x86_64 on my laptop. All devices work fine. But after suspending to ram or disk, sound just disappeared. OS thinks that, sound is still exists, but I can't hear any sound.
    Reboot can help but this is not a solution. Please help me
    $ lspci -k
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
    Subsystem: Dell Device 022f
    Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
    Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

    Have you read the wiki and set the "model" option for your sound card? I have no problems suspending to RAM (I've never tried suspending to disk) and I'm using ALSA, too.
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Del … probe.conf
    I use the option that is above, "dell-bios", but another user had a problem with it and uses the one below. Try both and see if it helps.

  • HP ELite L2201x and Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop?

    Hi, I bought an HP Elite L2201x Monitor, and I want to connect it to my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. 
    I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
    Any advice? I thought about using the port I use to conect to a proyector, but idk if that makes sense at all!
    Thanks for your help!!!

    >I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
    display port and HDMI are two completely different solutions.
    Also a display port source can deliver hdmi signals (so this way the cable will work), a hdmi source often (always?) can't support dp signals.
    This is how I understand this FAQ:
    From http://www.displayport.org/faq/;
    Q: I am the owner of a new 27″ iMac, which I was planning to use as a high- resolution display for an HDMI equipped Blu-Ray player. I have purchased the DP-to-HDMI adaptor after being advised by Apple technical that it would function as an input, but having tried it, discovered that the device will only OUTPUT. My question is, why won’t the adaptor pass signal the other way, and what is the adaptor doing if it’s not powered, and it’s tiny, that it can’t do backwards?
    A: DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptors and DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters are very simple and only operate one way. For instance, when a DP-to-HDMI adaptor is connected to a PC that supports DP++ (multimode) capability, the PC senses the presence of the adaptor and sends HDMI signals over the DisplayPort connector rather than DisplayPort signals. No signal conversion is performed by the HDM adaptor. HDMI signals are merely passed through. The unique DisplayPort adaptor capability enables the PC to connect to a variety of displays via the DisplayPort connector including HDMI, DVI, and VGA. VGA adaptors are more complex and perform active signal conversion from DisplayPort to VGA. These adaptors also operate only one way. Unfortunately, HDMI does not support conversion to other display formats as does DisplayPort.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 wiki article

    I've made an article to get Archlinux running on a Dell Inspiron 1525: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Inspiron_1525
    Any comments would be great, I think there is stuff missing but don't know what. :D

    Hello.
    I have low fps with games in 3D. I can play at good fps in the Ubuntu that I have in my other partition, so I tried to put my Arch's xorg.conf in Ubuntu, but Ubuntu still works even with that configuration.
    I use the intel Graphic Card ("GM965/GL96) of the Inspiron 1525 and I was wondering if someone had the same problem.
    The xorg.conf is:

    PS: Kwin4 and Compiz works perfectecly and I have my direct rendering configured (or I think so, right now I don't know what to think).
    PS2: Why the "hwd -s" of Dheart says that he uses Xorg and the one of Rainbyte says that he uses Xfree86? I wonder why because when I execute "hwd -s" in the Ubuntu system it says Xfree86, but Xorg in Arch.
    Well. I'm hope that somebody understood my english and make a better article for the wiki.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Problems

    Hello.
    I just purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I wanted to know if there is a way to install a fully working Arch Linux system on it. I tried with 2007.08 CD only to fail at getting the wireless card to work. Dell Inspiron 1525 comes with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini Card. I tried installing both the latest vista and xp drivers for this card via ndiswrapper. I thought all was well since I got the message that said that the driver is installed and the device was present. However, when I checked iwconfig, the normal 'wlan0' was not in the list, just 'lo'. Can someone help me with this?
    Also, I used a ZenWalk liveCD to test out if I have sound support. It seems like the sound doesn't work either, but that may be because I used an old liveCD. The 1525 comes with a 'SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-MAJOR HD Audio' or also known as "High Definition Audio 2.0".
    I have also learned that although Dell does offer this laptop with Ubuntu installed, they changed the wireless card on the ubuntu version. I don't know if that means anything. Also, I have heard of many who have gotten linux installed on this laptop. I have some experience with linux, but all of that is with a desktop pc. (Used Arch for the longest after trying out Gentoo ^^)
    I checked the Ubuntu forums on this matter, and they seem to have a lot of documentation on it, but I am unsure if it will apply to Arch. Does Arch come with the bcm43xx drivers? If it does, then that means I have to blacklist it or something. I really need help.
    - Dennis ^^
    PS: Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for all of the replies. I downloaded the newest ISO and tried to get it working again. Well, b43 did not really work as I hoped it would, so I went and used ndiswrapper. To my astonishment, it works. Apparantly, something changed from the 2.6.22 to 2.6.24 kernels that made it so that the ndiswrapper module won't be detected with a broadcom card with the 2.6.22 kernel. This is all a guess, but it kinda makes sense. Only one problem though, I did all of the usual steps to set up the wireless connection... and it can't seem to connect to the internet... I did:
    iwconfig wlan0 essid ********
    iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
    iwconfig wlan0 key restricted **********
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    dhcpcd wlan0
    *I have tried this with other network cards, those on my desktop, and they worked fine.
    When I do 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' , I detect all the networks that I expected to see, but it doesn't connect to any of them, which I think is really weird.
    I don't really care much for vista, but I miss messing around with a decent CLI, and I will be majoring in Computer Science once I get into college, which would definately include classes on Bash scripting, so I wanted to get a linux install on my laptop since my desktop died. I have experience with Ubuntu, Gentoo (Stage 1 and Stage 3 installs.. Stage 1 was a giant pain and failed the first 4 times), ZenWalk, MEPIS, SuSE, Fedora, Arch, and some others. Of all of these, I liked Arch the best. So, I was really hoping I could get it installed.
    Well, it seems I will be stuck with vista for a while... but I must say, it's not AS bad as I thought it would... still slow and all though ^^
    @anti-neutrino:
    Hello. Dual-booting is tricky stuff in my opinion. I have never done it myself, so I can't really help you there. But, there are plenty of documentation out there on it. According to http://www.goodells.net/dellrestore/mediadirect.htm, DellMediaDirect is installed on a hidden partition. So, I'm guessing that as long as you don't touch that partition, it would still be there. What I think you would have problem with is where to put grub (or lilo). The safest thing to do, I would think, is to place it in a floppy, if you have an external floppy drive, or place grub into a USB Flash drive which you would be able to boot from. I have no idea how to do this in Arch, but I have done it before in SuSE. And as for Vista, as long as you don't touch the vista partition, it should stay the same. The booting is the only problem I can see for you. If the boot loader (grub or lilo) is installed in a separate medium (floppy/USB) then to boot into the linux partition, all you would have to do is boot from the medium, eitherwise, it would boot into Vista (or whatever you have that boots up first) automatically.. that is unless they changed something, and knowing how fast linux is developed, there are a lot of changes, so I'm not really sure if it still works this way.
    @Warper:
    I don't really mind the sound right now. If I can get internet to work, I know I can solve all the other problems later, as all I need to do is look up how to solve for it. But, yeah I know sound is muted by default in Arch. It's just that with my desktop, sound was automatically detected by other LiveCD's that I was confused when those same LiveCD's couldn't detect it. Again, this might just be that the LiveCD's use an older kernel.
    - Dennis ^^
    PS: I reinstalled vista and wrote this post in it. T_T

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

    I set up a wireless network about a week ago, and have made it with the following security features: WEP, enable only certain MAC addresses to connect, and disabled broadcasting the SSID.  I have been able to use it just fine with my Mac computer using airport, but when I have tried to connect my roommates computer, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista, it can't connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for an Windows cannot connect to the network and that the Wireless association failed due to unknown reasons.  It then says to connect with your administrator, but that is me.  I have a minimal knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and am basically figuring this out as I go along.  If anyone has some advice for me, both my roommate and I will be very grateful.
    Thanks,

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 wireless issues.

    After much frustration with the slowness on Vista, I decided to install Arch on my laptop  (Dell Inspiron 1525)
    I've been running Arch on my Desktop for about a year now and it's been a while since I've done a fresh install.
    The problem is getting my wireless card to operate.
    I've tried the wiki and the web and haven't had great results.
    my wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4310.  I first tried the b43 driver, but it doesn't support the 4310 (it does support the 4309 and 4311.  I guess mine got skipped )
    anyways, I then tried the ndiswrapper around the bcmwl5 driver.  I followed the wiki to the letter to get this driver installed, but I am still not showing any wireless devices.
    ifconfig -a shows my eth0 and lo.
    ifconfig wlan0 up does nothing either.
    I'm stumped.
    any ideas?

  • Dell Inspiron 1525

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 (laptop) dual booting Vista and Solaris with GRUB. Yes, I read that Vista won't boot with GRUB. But when the machine rebooted so I could fix the MBR, it just worked. So, I didn't need to use BCDEDIT (and such).
    All is well (in Solaris) except:
    1) Audio
    2) Wireless Net
    3) Net
    4) WebCam
    1,2,4 are nice-to-have(s) for me. But, #3 is a need. I've read thru docs and installed the SKGEsol driver for the Marvell device. However, the device will not show-up in ifconfig. see...
    http://homepage.mac.com/shaffer.david/dell_insp1520_net.tgz
    [dump of commands and such]
    Any advice is appreciated. And any info on #1,#2, and #4 is appreciated as well.
    The device break-down is..
    o Audio [SIGMATEL STAC 92XX]
    o Cam [Creative Labs Laptop.. Web Cam]
    o Wireless Net [Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN]
    o Net [Marvell 88E80XX]
    I've mostly searched around for networking; just 'cause it will lead to other things being easier - so I don't have to reboot and such.
    Anyway, thanks in advance.
    Other stuff..
    - Solaris boots much faster than Vista and the drive light even goes off after the login screen shows for a few seconds. In Vista, the booting is slower and even after the login comes-up, the disk light stays on for several minutes (???).
    - I was pleasantly suprised to find all of the dt tools including dtksh and dtbuilder.
    - Well, there's a lot of cool thing I want to get into with solaris, but no time to type..so..... later

    Hi,
    I have installed Solaris on my Dell Inspiron 1525 using a USB HDD. I am looking for the drivers for Wireless LAN and NIC.
    Can you guide me where i can find them.

  • Backup "Factory Image" partition on Dell Inspiron 1525

    Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that came with Windows Vista but would like to install Arch Linux on this computer.
    It has a "factory image" partition on the harddrive I used before to reinstall Windows Vista,
    but installing linux might overwrite this partition and make Windows Vista un-reinstallable.
    Can such a "factory image" partition be backed up on a CD somehow? (like an iso, in case I might have to reinstall Windows)
    Last edited by maz20 (2011-04-13 08:27:17)

    Sure. Just use dd, or maybe ntfsclone if it's an NTFS partition.
    Use "sudo fdisk -l" to find the device identifier of the partition (something like "/dev/sda1").
    Then "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=factory_image bs=1M" will copy the partition contents into the file "factory_image".
    Be careful with dd, if you write "of=/dev/sda1", it will overwrite that partition without any confirmation request.
    You might want to also backup the boot sector (first 512 bytes of the disk) to keep the original boot loader: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=boot_sector bs=512 count=1".

  • My Dell Inspiron 1525 is USB connected to my Canon Pixma MX 392 printer, but is "not detecting".

    My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop is USB connected to my Canon Pixma MX392 multifunction printer. Though the
    printer is functioning properly in all respects, a message is showing that my laptop "cannot detect" the printer.
    At the same time I'm receiving a message (wizard?) "Found New Hardware - Windows Needs to Install Driver
    Software for Your Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller". My Printer folder shows my Canon is "ready",
    and the Port is shown as "USB..Virtual printer port for Canon MX390 series Printer". My Device Manager
    folder lists the Canon printer and fax under "Printers", and under "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers"
    are listed: MX390 series (1 time); Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller (7 times); Unknown device (7 times);
    USB Printing Support (2 times). I've tried unistalling and re- installing everything associated with the printer,
    but get the same results. As I've stated the printer is functioning fine, but the "incessant" appearing of the
    message, "Found New Hardware, etc." is extremely annoying. When I follow the "wizard's" instructions to,
    "locate and install driver software (recommended)", I'm finally told to" insert the disc that came with your Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller". I don't have any discs that came with either the printer or laptop. Is
    anyone able to make any sense of this...and, hopefully, offer help in getting rid of the "Found New Hardware"
    message. Many thanks!

    I'm not sure the error is related to your printer.

    I updated iTunes on my Dell Inspiron lap top and it corrupted my iTunes. I uninstalled all of the newly installed files.  I also uninstalled iTunes.  Now whenever I try to install iTunes, I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Tried it 2 times and no luck.  Any advice for me?
    Maureen

    I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    I currently have a DELL Inspiron E1707 Laptop and I connect to the internet via my Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router.  For the past 2 days I can connect to the internet but sites take forever to load or just don't load at all.  I went to Intel PRO/set Wireless Troubleshooter and the event viewer says:  CTA Plugin is not installed or supported.  I have googled this problem and still have not found a solution or where I can install the plugin.  I did find that this is somewhat common and has to do with the CISCO system/Linksys Router.  I hope one of your specialists has a solution to this problem.  Please get back to me regarding this issue.  Thank You!

  • Arch on a Dell Inspiron 1525

    Good morning.
    This is not much of an issue as an attempt to avoid issues - I was wondering if anyone managed to install Arch properly on an Inspiron 1525, and may have some tips to give me in order for me to get it to work properly.
    I've never installed Arch on a laptop before, so I'm trying to be careful.
    Thanks in advance

    I have an Inspiron 1525n... and in fact everything works... here're the problems I encountered:
    1) On my system the Wi Fi card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller and as such it has no native linux driver and I only managed to get it to work with ndiswrapper (details in this thread)
    2) The home multimedia key and the FN key are not detected so if you want to get them working you need to install third party programs that make a model keyboard and so on.... I think details are described in the hotkeys wiki... As for the play/pause stop and volume keys - they have asigned keycodes so all you need to do is bind xf86 functions to them - here's a sample of my Xmodmap:
    keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
    keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
    keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
    keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
    keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
    keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
    keycode 222 = XF86PowerDown
    (but you keycodes may be different so check them using xev)
    3)I've goten my webcamera to work... partially... It is recognized after installing the package linux-uvc-svn and loading the uvcvideo module, and I've been able to take some good pictures using motion, however I'm yet to find a suitable application (note that the linux-uvc driver should be included in the 2.6.26 kernel)
    The IEEE port is recognized, bluetooth and obex server work fine (the card reader also according to the information on the Web, but I haven't tested it yet)
    I haven't tested the hdmi port, but that's for when I get a HD TV
    EDIT: Ah, and BTW sound works beatifully with the OSS4 driver - everything was recognized by default (I didn't bother trying ALSA, since I use OSS4 on my other PC and it gets me better sound than ALSA)
    EDIT2: The home key is detected, you just need to asign keycode for it...
