Notebook Sound i810 Problems

#1 Post by sml »

My notebook uses the Intel i810 sound module however this doesn't seem to load when running alsaconf ..

Building card database ...
Searching sound cards ...
No supported PnP or PCI cards found

I am using 2.13 :)

If you don't already have it, download the FULLDRIVERS version. Standard Puppy 2.13 is supposed to have i810 support, but I've found a number of chips that claim to be i810 but are actually i915GM among others.

Not sure if you can get the zdrv_213.sfs file separately, yet, but if so that's even better. Just put it in / and reboot. Puppy will recognise it automagically. Then run your alsaconf again, if necessary, to rebuild the alsa driver database with the new options.

Hope that helps

I think you are right .. it might be i915xx.

I might boot Kubuntu and find out which module I need :(

Audio Device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW ICH6 Family Rev 04.

The module might be snd_hda_intel.

Works ok with manually forcing load of module ...

#modprobe snd_hda_intel

Then ran alsaconf.

Although the master volume on the Zmixer seems to be broken. I had to restart then the toobar master volume control appeared which worked :)

Hmm, strange, puppy should have autoloaded the sound module.
i810 sound works on my laptop.

perhaps you have a newer audio chip whose manufacturer:chip numbers are not registered with the snd_hda_intel module. You can find out, type
# lspci -n
to read all the PCI-bus numbers, then
# modinfo snd_hda_intel
to find out what numbers it supports

I have the 915 intel board. Looks like a match to me ..... but the module does not auto load.

modinfo snd_hda_intel
= alias: pci:v00008086d00002668sv etc etc

lspci -n
= Class 0403: 8086:2668 (rev 04)
