[solved] No sound with ALC269VB on asus 1215b EeePC

Question

Hello,
I've just finished the basic install on a Asus Eee PC 1215B (with an APU C-50) and I'm having problems to make the sound work. I've googled around without succes...
# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
# cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/info
card: 1
device: 0
subdevice: 0
stream: PLAYBACK
id: ALC269VB Analog
name: ALC269VB Analog
subname: subdevice #0
class: 0
subclass: 0
subdevices_count: 1
subdevices_avail: 1
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
blacklist radeon
option snd-hda-intel mode=auto
I've runned alsaconf and rebooted several times and nothing helped...
When I run alsamixer, the default chip that appears is ATI R6xx HDMI, with only S/PDIF channel, when I change card to HDA ATI SB (chip Realtek ALC269VB) it appears the usual channels the change volume. Only mic is muted, the I run speaker-test:
# speaker-test -c 1
speaker-test 1.0.24.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
I dont have ideas to solve this...
Could someone help me??
Gratefull,
Heitor.

Answer 1

New try. Check IDs with:
cat /proc/asound/card0/id
cat /proc/asound/card1/id
Then do something like
options snd-hda-intel id=SB,HDMI index=0,1
using the IDs you got with the commands above.
As for .asoundrc, I've seen one recently, but can't remember where. Edit - Found it:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card SB
ctl.!default {
type hw
card SB
However this will only play one sound at a time. Check here if you want to play around with this stuff: http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026. Hopefully you won't need to.
