I filed a bug at alsa-project.org against Ck804, but there is no progress made so far :-(

[Tom Arnold (g0tt)]

Hmm, it is an fairly old Asus Nfore4 Socket 939 board with a Athlon X2 and it works out of the box with nearly all distros and live CDs.

[Tom Arnold (g0tt)]

Beta also didnt change anything.

[Tom Arnold (g0tt)]

Kinda fixed.

I think this bug has to be reassigned to the kernel package "linux-image-2.6.24-12-386". Sound works in "linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic" and "linux-image-2.6.24-12-rt".

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

One of the bug reports upstream (at alsaproject.org) mentioned upgrading BIOS helped solve this.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Is this symptom still reproducible in the desktop cd of 8.10 alpha 6?

[braweheart (braweheart)]

On fresh i386 Intrepid Install on a equivalent motherboard, the sound is't working quite right.

If device ALC850 is choosen, only one volume meter is shown, but nvidia CK804 shows several meters.

I was able to get sound, but the center speaker is not working, surround is also not working. The channel for front-left had very low volume, but I suppose this possibly could be hardware error on the motherboard (the speaker itself is working)

cat /proc/version_signature gives "Ubuntu 2.6.27-7.16-generic"
uname -a gives "Linux mongo 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux"

@braweheart
You don't seem to have the same hardware.

@Tom Arnold
Does it work for you now with Jaunty. I have a report with the exact hardware which still outputs nothing.

Information
Ubuntu 9.04 - Fully updated Wed 20 May 2009 1:13PM
00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)
2.6.28-11-generic
WinFast NF4SK8AA Sck 939

Fresh install with no sound so, I have installed the Realtek AC'97 4.06a audio, but the error still occurs.

[Naftuli Kay (naftulikay)]

I'm also experiencing this issue

Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. I've attached my lspci ouput.

[equiman (equiman)]

Me too... Ubuntu 0.04 32 bits fresh install.

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

Can you also confirm this issue exists with the most recent Karmic Koala 9.10 Alpha release? ISO CD images are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ . If the issue remains with Karmic it would be great to then also test the latest upstream mainline kernel available. This will allow additional upstream developers to examine this issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Thanks in advance.

[German de la Cruz (gerdlc)]

I've download the last image of Karmic.

From the liveCD, I've installed VLC and probe a MP3. It doesn't work

I'm using Karmic on 2.6.30-2 and I can report audio NOT working with nVIDIA CK804.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Why are you using 2.6.30-2 instead of 2.6.31-14.47?

because 2.6.31-14 had display issues with nvidia 185. I upgraded to nvidia 190.42 so I can move up to 2.6.31-14, and sound now works. Thanks!
