no sound with SiS SI7012 hoary.

[Philippe Landau]

i found this profile of my audio hardware:
Card Config:
SiS SI7012 with CMI9761 at 0xdc00, irq 10
Audio Devices:
0: SiS SI7012 (DUPLEX)
Mixers:
0: C-Media Electronics CMI9761
(is there a hardware profiler in ubuntu that allows copy/paste or save of it's
output ?)

sometimes i get the error that the sound server can't open the device.
sound is working on the same computer in warty.
is there a way to upload an attachment on opening a bug in this bugzilla ?

dmesg output

i can only make further tests if i can resolve the problem of installing the
hoary base system again, as described on the mailing list today.

What does alsamixer show you? And can you please include your lspci?

Thanks

Have you tried the latest kernel and hotplug?

[Philippe Landau (lists-mailry)]

uname -a
Linux donkey 2.6.10-2-386 #1 Fri Feb 4 09:44:19 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
is this the latest kernel ?
how do i see what hotplug version i have ?

thank you philippe

I recommend a complete system upgrade.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install esound ubuntu-desktop

should do the trick.

[Philippe Landau (lists-mailry)]

thanks. 3 polyp audio parts were removed.
after reboot still no audio.
my situation is special because i only use headphones
(there is no speaker) and there is a pci tv card.
would these facts add to the problem ?

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

You have three sound devices. The first one is used by default. It sounds like
your onboard sound is being used, and you don't have any speakers connected to
it. If you don't want to use the onboard sound, then disable it in your BIOS,
so that an alternate device will be used by default.

3 sound devices ?
i have removed the tv card, still no sound,
disabled the onboard '97 sound in the bios and have still no sound.
there was a firewire pci card, but i removed that too.
what would be the third sound device ?

Actually this seems related to #7286 (cf. cmi9761 codec fixes in ALSA 1.0.9rc2).
