No sound - ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Azalia (Fixable!)

[El Diablo]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic

Laptop: Samsung R20 (Spanish)

Sound Card: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Azalia

Problem: No Sound. Only detects the modem

Tests: Re-installation of ALSA. Compilation of ALSA from latest source tar balls. Assistance from #alsa ... nothing worked...

Fix: I compiled from kernel.org 2.6.20.7 using the .config from Kubuntu's 2.6.20-15 configuration file. I made no alterations. When booting to the self compiled kernel, the sound works correctly, and mixers etc are available.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Not possible for Feisty. The kernel source is frozen.

Please attach /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

[Grudko (grudko)]

Same problem, after kernel version 2.6.20-12-generic is no sound...

Notebook Samsung R40
sound - Realtek ALC262

in /proc/asound/card0/
no such file as codec#0
only codec#1:

Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x11c13026
Subsystem Id: 0x2117144d
Revision Id: 0x100700

[El Diablo (el-diablo)]

I have not had the chance to do the above tests...

I've just downloaded the RC of Kubuntu, and will try a fresh install, but I imagine it will do the same. If so, I will be forced to compile 2.6.20.7 from Kernel.org again.

Shame I filed the bug report after the kernel freeze eh :-((

[Grudko (grudko)]

Try to define AZX_MAX_CODECS to from 3 to 4 in sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c if you want to use ubuntu kernel

[El Diablo (el-diablo)]

Hi Grudko... Last night I installed the RC of Kubuntu. and built the 2.6.20.7 kernel.. have not had a chance to test it, but I will look at your fix. It's working ok yes? Also how did you find this information out please? Is this a module section etc that can just be rebuilt.

Kind regards

[El Diablo (el-diablo)]

I can confirm that worked... just rebuilt the modules and sound works correctly.

For anyone wanting to do the same do the following:

Install linux-source:

sudo aptitude install linux-source

Make a directory where you can use to extract the source:

mkdir ~/xyz

cd ~/xyz

Exact the source to that directory: (Check the version of the tarball prior to this)

tar jxvf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2

Enter the root of the kernel source:

cd linux-source-2.6.20

Copy the config file to the source tree:

cp /boot/config-2.6.20-15-generic .config

make menuconfig (When you get the menu, just exit)

Enter the directory where the intel driver source code is:

cd linux-source-2.6.20/sound/pci/hda/

Now find the line number to edit, and or check if it needs modified:

grep -n '#define AZX_MAX_CODECS' hda_intel.c

You should see an output simiar or the same as:

201:#define AZX_MAX_CODECS 3

Now edit the hda_intel.c file with your favorite text editor, and change the 3 to 4, and save the file.

Build the new modules:

make -C ~/xyz/linux-source-2.6.20/ M=$PWD modules

You will have two files:

snd-hda-codec.ko
snd-hda-intel.ko

Now copy those to the kernel modules with:

sudo cp snd-hda-*.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/.

Reboot...

You should have sound.. (You mixers will be muted tho, so unmute them)

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

We've already fixed this (several weeks ago) in git. It should be in the feisty-updates kernel upload.

[hackeron (hackeron)]

Has a fix actually been commited? -- I have an up-to-date ubuntu feisty (2007-05-16) on a Samsung R20 with no sound.

[spadge63 (spadge63)]

I'm not sure, but it's too complicated for me to deal with so I switched to openSUSE. That fixed my sound problem.

The sound works fine if you do exactly what I said on fixing the modules.

If you guys don't wish to build them, I can provide you with the two 32 bit binary files. Just simply copy them, and reboot. Let me know.

Kind regards

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

These fixes are queued for the updated kernel.

They're also available at http://adhd.irule.net/~crimsun/feisty-azx-sb450/

I followed the instructions until I ran into some problems trying to copy the config file. Apparently my config file is 2.6.20-16-generic. i went ahead and copied it, but when I entered `make menuconfig' I got a bunch of error messages. I looked in the linux-source-2.6.20/sound/pci/hda/ file and saw the `define AZX_MAX_CODECS 4. So I assumed there wasn't anything to change. That's as far as I could get. I went to the URL where the fixes are queued for the updated kernel, but that didn't work either. The Alsamixer still recognizes the modem as the soundcard. Is there anything else I can do?

[El Diablo (el-diablo)]

You should now be able to do a system update to 2.6.20-16 and the issue should be fixed. If for some reason you can not / do not want to, then I think that if you are having trouble compiling the modules, take the two .ko files that Daniel has kindly posted and use them.

[spadge63 (spadge63)]

I tried something like modprobe stack=3 command last night and that took the disabled icon off my volume control. This morning I used the two .ko files Daniel posted, but that failed. I atatched a screenshot of the Alsamixer.

[El Diablo (el-diablo)]

Well, I have not tried Daniels modules, as I said in my post, first I upgraded the kernel, but then after reading Grudko's post, I did what he said, and it worked. How Daniel's differ (if at all) I have no idea.

I suggest you do an

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Get yourself up to version 2.6.20-16, and report back.

Good luck

[spadge63 (spadge63)]

I upgraded to version 2.6.20-16. Still no sound. I have a feeling I'm missing a file. I'm going to try updating the kernel one more time. If it doesn't work the I'll do a complete reinstall.

[spadge63 (spadge63)]

It Works!!!!! I was missing the alsa-base file. Then I found a work-around from bug #83015 as follows:
1. edit alsa-base:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

2. add this line to the end of that file:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

3. save y close the file

4. restart

[Rafal Zawadzki (bluszcz)]

It doesn't work for my - I've added above line to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and upgrade kernel - nothing help.

Any idea?

[Rafal Zawadzki (bluszcz)]

I also tried as provided binary as build my owns - all fails :/

Any idea?

Machine is Dell Laptitude 531

[Rafal Zawadzki (bluszcz)]

I found this link: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/47688/focus=47827

Propably this one is Dell Lapt 513 specifi...

[Rafal Zawadzki (bluszcz)]

I can confirm - new alsa driver (I compile from hg) solve this problem. So, I am back to the amarok :)

Downloaded alsa-driver source from alsa-project, compiled and installed (hgcompile && make install) and it now works with one bug which is described elsewhere (the master volume is slowly increased to maximum from whatever level you set it to, so we use PCM to control volume level).

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Marking this 'Fix Released'. If you are still having issue, please verify you have the same hardware as the original bug reporter. If not, please open a new bug report. Also make sure you have tested against the actively developed kernel which is available in the Hardy Alpha releases. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . You should be able to test the new kernel via the LiveCD. Also make sure you new bug report is agianst the 'linux' source package as the kernel source package naming convention switched from 'linux-source-2.6.x' to just 'linux' beginning with the Hardy release. Thanks.
