No PCM channel in alsamixer

I've recently installed Arch and it appears that I don't have a PCM channel in alsamixer. I recall that I had ALSA issues the last time I used Arch (although I do not recall having this specific problem), and my Debian install on the same computer has a PCM channel, so it's definitely not a hardware-only issue. Alsamixer lists both Nvidia and Intel HDA under the device menu. The Intel device seems to be the right card, as it has all the usual options (besides PCM).
The solution found on the wiki does not work:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … CM_Channel
My asoundrc is as follows:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
I cannot find many resources on this problem, so I'm not sure what other information I need to supply. Please notify me if further information is required, and I'll do my best to obtain it.

Can't help you with your problem, all I can do is to chime in to say I'm in the same boat. I've also tried 'arecorder' to see if I can grab the ALSA output, all to no avail. I have an ALC888 chip. I'm running openbox with ALSA, trying to capture the analog output. Any ideas out there?

  • Alsa no PCM channel

    After a reinstall I'm missing the PCM channel in alsamixer. Is this new behavior or can I add a virtual PCM with asoundrc? My card is a hda intel type idt 92HD87B2/4

    I created /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf because the default card is the HDMI output and I need SB as the first card.

    Removing this alsa.conf does not help however.
    There is no pulsaudio (edit: libpulse is installed but not pulseaudio), no /etc/asound.conf and no ~/.asoundrc
    I think the audio driver is bugged because about every 15 minutes the audio stops playing. Whether it's mplayer, xmms or youtube, after a while they stop and I have to restart the browser, xmms or mplayer. Mplayer gives this warning when the audio is stuck: audio device got stuck

    Anyone had that strage problem?

    I found out a way of adding a mute switch to controls.
    pcm.Audigy {
    type hw
    card 0
    pcm.!default {
    type softvol
    slave.pcm "Audigy"
    control {

    card 0

    I don't know if this is "correct," but I could add the capability for both my Master and PCM channels (not at the same time though).

  • No PCM capture in alsamixer / audacity

    I got a blazing fast new barebones kit a few weeks ago and installed all-new Arch onto it, and gradually everything is starting to look familiar and works great.
    EXCEPT... there is no way in alsamixer or audacity to select dmix or PCM or plain old "mixer" as the input source, so I can directly capture streaming audio.
    What I tried: Created ~/.asoundrc with a section pcm.copy, ran alsaconf to rescan my audio devices, tried aumixer, tried an unbelievably complicated jackd setup, installed alsa-oss and changed audacity to use oss instead of alsa as the device driver... nothing worked.  most of the above methods did not produce any recorded audio at all, and changing audacity to listen on oss gave me error messages that the device was not found.
    As a workaround, I can use ffmpeg to rip the audio stream from the Flash video files cached in /tmp, but that's a real pain and it won't help if I'm, say, making a video tutorial and need to capture the PC output along with the screen capture.
    Since hardware, kernels, and apps are all new I don't know what changed.  The audio card is the onboard one that came with the motherboard; it shows up as "HDA ATI SB" with the RealTek ALC889A chipset.
    Anyone else have that kind of audio device and can you make get PCM capture to work?  Anything else I can try to make this seamless?  Obviously the last resort would be to run a cable directly from speaker output to line in, but that's even more of a pain...

    Can't help you with your problem, all I can do is to chime in to say I'm in the same boat. I've also tried 'arecorder' to see if I can grab the ALSA output, all to no avail. I have an ALC888 chip. I'm running openbox with ALSA, trying to capture the analog output. Any ideas out there?

  • Alsa: I want "Volume Control" to control PCM instead of Master

    As in the subject, I would like the volume control to modify the PCM volume instead of Master.
    My multimedia keys work the same, so at the moment I have to manually change PCM from the audio preferences.

    Well, I suppose I was kind of tight on information...
    For volume control I mean either the volume control applet, either the multimedia keys.
    Now, both of them control the Master Channel of the mixer, while the only one that changes something in the volume is the PCM channel.
    I looked in amixer, and I see my configuration.
    In AlsaMixer I can happily control the volume (still from PCM).
    What I would like to know is where my keyboard is configured to change the "Master" channel in the alsamixer, so that I can change it to the PCM (or at least have the Volume Control Applet to do that.
    It might be worth to note that I am using a dell d630 on a dock, and the sound card should be the digital one in the dock rather than the one in the laptop.
    Usually in ubuntu I had to mess with the sound manager to obtain a volume control on the keys.
    P.S.:  you guys are FAST! Thanks for the help!

  • Use of DIAdem IRIG106 plugin with PCM data

    I have a large Chapter 10 file (1.5GB) that I am opening with the IRIG106 plugin (version 1.1.0.5773) in DIAdem 2012.  Due to the file size I am actually "registering" the file, which displays the correct channel names and attributes in the Data Portal.  The channels I am interested in are a time channel and a PCM stream channel but I don't see how to proceed further.  I have knowledge of how the PCM frames are arranged and such but how do I apply that information to breaking out all the individual channels in the frames (i.e. decommutating)?  Do I write the PCM decom myself or is there some other (more efficient) method?  Thanks!

    Hi, Brad!  The PCM data appears as one of the channels in the Portal.  This wiki article gives a good refresher of how the data is arranged wtihin the minor/major frames of a PCM frame (" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_synchronization ").  I happen to know that the data words are 12-bits, which means that each data word is NOT aligned on byte boundries.  If you know of a good method of lining up the frame syncs and assembling each frame to extract the words for the PCM channels, I'd love to hear it.  I have to register the Chapter10 file due to the size and, so far, whenever I touch the PCM channel DIAdem feels a need to read through it, which takes longer than I have been willing to wait.  I'll try to cut down a file to something more managable to see if you can do something with it.  Thanks!

  • Set audio channel controlled by multimedia buttons

    In KDE, is there a way I can set the audio channel that is controlled by the multimedia buttons? I am having a problem where the raise and lower volume buttons are not controlling the correct (PCM) channel.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with the Intel AC'97 audio controller. The computer has normal speakers, controlled by the Master channel and a subwoofer controlled by the Master Mono channel. Because of this, in kmix, I leave the two above channels set and use the PCM control to control overall volume, as adjusting the "Master" channel does not affect subwoofer volume. Now, when I use kmix to adjust volume, things are fine, however when I use the multimedia raise/lower volume buttons, only the Master channel gets adjusted. I assume there must be some place where the channel controlled by these buttons can be set, but I cannot find it. I believe I've read that kmilo handles this task, but I cannot find where I might configure that.
    I would be willing to do some hacking of the appropriate code, if it is required. Someone would just have to point me to what library/executable contains the code that handles the mentioned multimedia buttons.
    Thanks and regards,
    jbro

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that is actually one thing I tried with no luck. I could create a "Soft Master" channel and use it to control overall volume, the same as just selecting PCM as the master channel, but the multimedia keys still directly changed the "Master" channel. Note that I have no problem when changing the volume through kmix. It properly adjusts the PCM channel, which I have set as the master channel. Only when I press the multimedia keys do I have this problem, so it looks like kmilo isn't paying attention to the master channel and automatically adjusting the first channel. Unfortunately, according to the ALSA wiki, there is no way to override an existing channel.
    OK, I took a look at the latest code (KDE 4.0) for the delli8k plugin for kmilo and it adjusts "masterVolume" via dcop. When I do the corresponding commands from a prompt everything works fine. This leads me to believe that KDE 3.5.7 doesn't have the code I'm looking at. This is odd, though, as the last change in the Dell kmilo plugin was in September of last year. Perhaps it has not been backported to KDE 3.5.7. When I get some time I will try to compile the new kmilo and plugins to see if that changes anything.
    Thanks again for the suggestion.

  • Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

    Hi!
    I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
    First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
    It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
    My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.
    Perre wrote:And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

  • No sound using SiS soundcard and ALSA

    I've installed alsa using pacman, unmuted all channels using alsamixer and added myself to the 'audio' group following the instructions here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA_Setup
    Unfortunately still no sound, I'm new to Arch and completely out of ideas. I've attached any info I thought might be useful but just ask if you need anything else posting. Please help me out as my laptop is my only source of music while I'm home over Christmas! Show some Christmas charity to a newb and Santa might not bring you coal!

  • Surround sound not working on headset

    I have the Corsair Vengeance 2000 wireless 7.1 headset for 3 years now.
    In Windows I had some driver issues and in Linux I never really bothered and forgot about it.
    So this headset supports surround sound, it's even in the product name, but Linux won't output it.
    PulseAudio shows the following entries for the headset:
    - Digital Output (S/PDIF) Vengeance 2000
    - Analog Output Vengeance 2000
    Both of these only show the "Balance" slider, and a greyed out/disabled "Fade" and "Subwoofer" channel. When testing, it only shows left and right channels to test.
    Alsamixer only shows a "PCM" channel of which I can change volume, but nothing else. From what I understand it should show all 8 channels that come with 7.1 surround.
    It also says the chip is "USB Mixer".
    pamixer --list-sources
    2 "alsa_input.usb-Corsair_Vengeance_2000-00-V2000.analog-mono" "Vengeance 2000 Analog Mono"
    10 "alsa_output.usb-Corsair_Vengeance_2000-00-V2000.iec958-stereo.monitor" "Monitor of Vengeance 2000 Digital Stereo (IEC958)"
    By some Googling I found this, but sadly it didn't help.
    So it seems Alsa is not recognizing the headset as 7.1 surround capable. How can I fix this?

    Most of those "surround" headsets only have two channels, and the "surround" sound is emulated by the driver, which I guess does not have a linux version.
    This is probably the reason why you only see a stereo device - it's what it is on the the hardware level. What the linked "solution" does is, it tells pulseaudio to use 8 channels per default and  enables remixing both regular channels and LFE. This leads to pulseaudio downmixing the 8 channels to 2 to match the numbers of your speakers. Essentially, this is what the windows driver should be doing, so if it sounds different, it's probably a matter of different implementation/enhancements the dolby driver includes.
    Bottom line: you can't have 8 channels on a device which only has 2 channels on the hardware level. This is why I went for a Roccat Kave back then - it has 6 physical speakers, 3 on each side.

  • Sound working randomly in flash, vlc, gnome-mplayer since today

    Hello,
    My sound setup worked perfectly since my Arch install, but I see today that now my sound setup works randomly in flashplayer, vlc media player, and gnome-mplayer :S
    My channels aren't muted in alsamixer, of course my speakers are on...
    I don't see where the problem is :s
    Any idea ?
    Thank you

    Okay, I found the problem:
    I thought that this bug happened randomly, but it's not the case
    In fact, I don't lost the sound, but every time I start playing a file with gnome-mplayer, the PCM channel of my sound configuration is significantly decreased
    I saw that by running alsamixer when I noticed a sound problem
    Is that a "feature" or a bug ?

  • [Solved] No sound in Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (JACK)

    Hello.
    I just downloaded Binding of Isaac: Rebirth from Steam, and ran it. Everything works fine, except sound. There's no sound.
    I use JACK, and I get this error in "Messages"

    I've asked in #jack on Freenode, but I wanted to not only ask here aswell, but also make this thread to be able to give out a solution so others with the same issue can fix it.
    Edit: I fixed it
    I did this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … g#No_sound
    And now I got sound!

    Thanks, I meant to talk about alsa mixer.
    Alsamixer, shows the information for the soundcard:
    Card: HDA Intel
    Chip: Intel IbexPeak HDMI
    and I can change the volume on both the master and pcm channels
    speaker-test produces no audio output.
    I did go through the ALSA wiki page.. that's where I got the idea to blacklist snd_intel8x10m
    "lsmod | grep snd_"  produced:
    snd_hda_codec_hdmi 24120 1
    snd_hda_codec_conexant 47100 1
    snd_hda_intel 24021 4

    I guess your audio is just muted? For alsa you may unmute the channels with alsamixer or
    amixer set Master,0 75% unmute
    amixer set PCM,0 75% unmute
    and in case of pulseaudio you can install and use something like pavucontrol.
    Furthermore, rtfwiki .

  • [SOLVED] No sound on right speaker with ALSA

    Hello,
    I've just installed Arch for my first time, and I'm having some problems with the sound.
    My left speaker and the subwoofer work fine, but there's no sound coming out of the right speaker.
    I've unmuted all channels in alsamixer.
    Info-
    from alsamixer-
    │ Card: HDA Intel                                                                                                                   F1:  Help               │

    $ lspci | grep Audio
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
    What can I do about this?
    Thanks,
