STAC92xx analog sound codec not working on Ubuntu 8.10

Ok, the linking is not so hard, I guess.

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/64082

This fellow and I are having virtually the same problem.

Hi,

You might be experiencing this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/279187

Please try this workaround (removing splash from end of kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/279187/comments/25

=================================================================

Concerning the other audio issues:

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your sound card, please first follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy/paste each command into the Terminal and then hit <enter>)

asoundconf list
sudo aptitude install hwinfo
hwinfo --sound
aplay -l
cat /dev/sndstat
lspci -nn
lsmod | grep snd
cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
grep audio /etc/group

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread

=======================================================================================

Please also read the following pages

http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda (check for correct /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options at bottom of this page)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

for some initial suggestions.

You should add the following string to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file

options snd-hda-intel model=YOUR_MODEL

Valid model names (that replace YOUR_MODEL) depending on the codec chip, can be found at

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

If you do not know your codec chip name, you can execute the following Terminal command to find out:

cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec

Make sure to set all channels to high volume levels in alsamixer EXCEPT for "external amplifier".

If the output of the command

grep audio /etc/group

looks like this:

audio:x:81

or like this:

audio:x:81:pulse

Then replace that audio line with something like this:

audio:x:81:<your login name>

where <your login name> is the username you use to log into Ubuntu

Kind regards,

Mark

Ok, thanks for the info. I tried the solution listed in the second linked threads you noted but there were some differences between that poster's readout compared to mine.

This is what mine looked like:
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic

uuid 82e0789a-7c7f-48c4-a817-bafa08036c33

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=82e0789a-7c7f-48c4-a817-bafa08036c33 ro quiet

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic

quiet

The other guy's reads like this:
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic
uuid 350e9591-f15d-4764-a69c-272e95287576
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=350e9591-f15d-4764-a69c-272e95287576 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic
quiet

The difference is on the 82e... compared to the 350e... I wonder if this matters as I tried removing the splash line (as noted above) and then rebooted. But nothing changed. I'm going to try the list of recommendations you noted now.

Alright, I followed the instructions and this is the readout (forgive me if I am using the improper noun- I'm a newbie).

Ok, I've read through all the links you mentioned (even the ones in French- lucky I parler well enough to comprehend what I was reading) but nowhere can I find my HP model so I do any changes. Also, as the last few lines above make clear, my 'grep audio etc/group' thing does not look like what you indicated. I have the audio:x:29:pulse but not an audio:x:81:pulse. Plus, I don't know how to change that even if it matched.

I appreciate all the time you've put into helping me out. Hopefully, this gets solved so i can watch some movies on this thing!

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.

Mark, I need some help also.

I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5.1 (on Vista) to run Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop.
