[Solved] kernel26 2.6.38.7-1 broke my sound (ICE1712)

lspci:
03:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)
After an update, I have no sound. I'm not doing anything dumb like not setting a default sound card or testing it with my levels muted. Is there anything I could try short of filing a bug report?

A-ha! It was the "Multi Track Internal Clock" parameter. It was set to "IEC958 Input", an external clock source, which was not connected. I had to set it to "96000" and my audio came right to life. Damn, I had the feeling something like this was the case. So it was me being dumb after all
This is on a high-end audio production card with 10 inputs, 10 outputs, XLR, SPDIF, word clock routing, MIDI, etc. The setting it was on made my card wait for a clock to set the frequency (which it never got), so ... no sound. Just a small change in the kernel update, no sweat

[SOLVED] kernel26-selinux "ugly" release string

I am maintainer of kernel26-selinux in AUR. Recently I noticed that built kernel sais (uname -r) 2.6.35-selinux-gd4918f4-dirty instead just 2.6.35-selinux, which I would expect. I found option CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO which I think should solve it if set to no, but in that case the release string is actualy 2.6.35-selinux+ (note the plus symbol).
Would someone kindly tell me, what to change, so that uname -r would show just 2.6.35-selinux? Or give some arguments why the other way is better, in case it is?
PS Here is link for up-to-date tarball, as AUR doesn't yet support splitpackages: http://profi.edisk.cz/stahnout-soubor/1 … 1.9KB.html
PPS I am quite new to building kernel stuff, so please speak slowly to me.

Yes, if you read the comments I commented that I'd already fixed that, but in git. The maintainer just hasn't gotten around to updating my fix to the AUR PKGBUILD.

[SOLVED] - kernel 2.6.34-2 upgrade broke my wireless ...

... so I downgraded back to 2.6.33.4-1 along with the headers, got rid of linux-firmware and reinstalled kernel26-firmware.
But it still isn't working.
iwconfig spurts out all the expected info and the card (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05) is seen, but wicd simply refuses to get an ip address. dmesg tells me that the firmware was requested and geography detected.
I tried restarting the network daemon and it fails
Hm, could it be udev that broke my network? Off to try...
EDIT:
Nope, downgraded to 151-3 but still cannot start the network daemon. dmesg is not telling me anything useful. Where else to check for useful hints?

Thanks ewaller,
I've got dhclient and a sudo dhclient eth1 does nothing, unfortunately.
PS:
Your post made me think...
Since wicd kept on failing with getting an ip address I told it to get a static one - and hey presto, I'm in again. Even upgraded everything again and am still in, so there!?

SOLVED: kernel26 2.6.30 - laptop LCD brightness stuck on max

Hello,
I upgraded to kernel26 2.6.30 from testing today, and now my laptop screen is with the brightness stuck on the 100% setting (which is too much for me, in fact it gives me a headache). The Fn-Arrow keys (which control the brightness) are unresponsive.
EDIT: Solved by placing options video brightness_switch_enabled=1 on /etc/modprobe.d/video.conf (create it if it doesn't exist).
I use Intel i965 video chipset on a laptop Acer Aspire 7720.
Solutions?
Thanks.

Strangely the BIOS can control the brightness as expected, but Arch might not look into that.

I posted a bash script workaround here:

It uses the setpci command, and dc (part of bc package) to do hex conversion.

[SOLVED] Kernel26-BFS - Is there a how to?

Hi Folks,
I would not consider myself a beginner, but I am no expert either. I have never compiled a kernel to order and have only ever used the stock kernel ... but hey, you have to learn somewhere.
My question is, is there some kind of how to? There are several options when you install the Kernel26-bfs and after an exhaustive search I cannot find explanations of what they mean in real terms (at least in the context of a Y / N question when installing a kernel). I decided I would stop compiling and work on answering these questions before I start again.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, what is the difference between Kernel26-bfs and kernel26-ck, are they by the same developer?
Regards,
ScottArch
Last edited by ScottArch (2010-01-06 19:42:37)

Hi folks,
I don't think I explained myself correctly. When I was compiling the Kernel26-bfs it asked me a few questions about how I wanted to configure my kernel. The questions were about whether I wanted hierarchical or symmetrical scheduling (or something like that), etc, etc.
Anyways, I installed the Kernel26-ck anyway and it only asked my my required cycle speed and compiled and installed fine. Does anyone have an example entry (for me to edit) for this kernel. I have never written my own entry and dont wnat to make a mistake.
Where can I look to get the correct name for the kernel as it installed on my system so I can do this myself.
Cheers,
Scott

Broke my sound, can't find soundcard now? [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my sound and it's escalated to the level where I'm not sure if my soundcard is even detected.
The story so far: A few months ago I invested in a Xonar DX sound card and some days ago tried to make it work in an existing Arch installation. I wasn't sure precisely what to do, so I followed the installation guide here (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … e-virtuoso) to the letter and, hey, it worked so I was happy. I hadn't uninstalled my previous ALSA config or anything like that though, just wanted to get it working really.
Yesterday, I assume after the latest kernel update, the DX stopped working but my integrated Realtek still worked. Today I tried fixing it by first following those steps again, but that resulted in no sound card working. So I uninstalled everything ('make uninstall' in the src folders for the custom installed drivers, 'pacman -Rd' for alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-oss, 'd' so I woulnd't have to uninstall every library depending on ALSA) and started from the beginning. Now I can't even get my integrated card working again.
lsmod|grep '^snd'
outputs nothing.
/dev/snd/
doesn't exist.
modprobe snd-virtuoso
gives "No such file or directory"
So, what should I do next? Will be grateful for any help I can get.
Thanks!

Nevermind, solved it by reinstalling the kernel and even got my new sound card to work without compiling custom drivers Just by installing asoundconf from AUR and configuring it to prefer my DX instead of the integrated. Thinking about updating the wiki on this front, since the ALSA article right now doesn't mention anything about multiple sound cards.

[SOLVED]kernel26-ck-core2 help

Hi,
This may seem blatantly obvious to some, however, I have not been able to find the answer. Sorry if this seems obvious but this is my first month working with Linux legitimately ever and am unable to get my modules to load after installing kernel26-ck. They fail on boot. I have found the modules directory residing in /lib/modules/2.6.39-ck. How do I use this with my boot up instead of the standard ARCH one?
Last edited by johan1391 (2011-07-17 08:34:12)

@op - try an experiment for me: remove all entries from your MODULES array, reboot. Once rebooted, manually modprobe each one by hand and see if you get an error... i.e.
# modprobe wl
# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
... etc
BTW, as others have mentioned, the nvidia module doesn't need to go in the array, and it's simply named, 'nvidia' not 'nvidia-ck' or anything else.
Also, vboxdrv needs the kernel26-ck-core2-headers packages and you must rebuild it manually whenever there is a new release via "/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup"
All of the other modules in your array should be just fine to load. Please report back either way in this thread.

[SOLVED] "alsaconf" broke my sound.

Hi, I've been having problems some strange background noises for a while, so I did a quick search and found this thread, which to my knowledge fixed the problem. So, I rebooted and the noises were still there, then I checked out the ALSA Arch wiki and read the configuration section. Realising what I may have just done I tested my sound only to find I had killed it.
As far as I know it has broken udev and modprobe.conf (which for some reason is empty). I tried to solve the problem myself but I'm feeling a little lost and a little out of my depth.
Can anyone please help?

The Alsa-site suggests putting some options in modules.conf. Is this method still supported in Arch Linux? Or has this nothing to do with my sound chipset? At least it doesn't solve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have an ASUS G50Vt laptop. I've been trying to get my headphone jack to work, so I've been editing "/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" and "/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf," trying out a few options.

[SOLVED] Connecting my guitar to my pc and get sound out?

I have a guitar and a cable that came with the game Rocksmith for ps3. The cable is a regular guitar cable with a usb out. Is there any software that I could use to get sound out from my pc. When I connect it to my pc, it recognizes my guitar as a microphone. I searched and all I found was some $500 windows software. Thank you for all the help.

If you have a decent sound card this might work for processing the guitar sound, but I haven't tried this myself even though I have the cable. It basically depends on what is put out through the usb cable. You might want to install some audio recording software, treat the input as a microphone and see what is being captured.
However, it is probably a better idea to connect the guitar directly to the sound card with a regular cable (through a mixer or with an adapter). The translation process in the cable will very likely only add latency. A bit more information about what you are trying to accomplish will get you better answers :-)
I just wanted to get sound out of my computer because I have no amp or any money to buy one right now. I have some nice computer speakers and thought that the cable might work since it is a usb. I'm not using my ps3 because it broke or else I would just use my tv. But thanks for the idea. I'll keep looking around.

[SOLVED] FLASH and Mplayer automatic fasforward playing with no sound

Hi,
This has been the second time it happened.
When I was playing some video at the background with SMplayer. All in a sudden, the playing stopped. I closed and restarted it:
last time: the video fast-forwarded automatically without any sound, same problem with VLC; [the problem got "fixed" only after I rebooted my host Window 7; restarting the archlinux guest didn't help.]
this time: VLC (there was an update in between) can play at a normal speed, but still no sound; as for smplayer, no sound, fastforwading automatically.
And, in both times, flash in firefox fast-forwarded automatically with no sound.
I have Archlinux/Xfce4 in virtualbox hosted by Windows 7. I have been using it for about one month. The problem occurred in last two days.
Thanks,
