 mic recording: no sound (via 8235) | |

Senior Mitglied Posts: 16777215 Registered: 2008-12-03 | Unfortunately I cannot record from the microphone using gnome-audio recorder or skype or arecord -f cd -D hw:0,0 -d 3 test.wav (playback with aplay test.wav). I use paldo stable (fresh 1.20 install)
. However playback of radio works fine.
I have an old via kt400 board, which does not work properly with pulseaudio. Therefore I have removed pulseaudio from the automatic run application folder and I have also run
sudo rm /etc/asound.conf
sudo rm /etc/.asoundrc
alsactl init
Unknown hardware: "VIA8233" "Analog Devices AD1980" "AC97a:41445370" "0x1043" "0x80a1"
Hardware is initialized using a guess method
This is weared, because I have a via 8235 soundchip (on board)
The recording settings (should) correspond to

The recording settings (should) correspond to

What is wrong with my setting?
Thanks and best regards

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | Hi mumpf,
I had a problem with my mic on my system as well... but we have different cards, I'll report how I fixed the issue, and maybe it'll work for you
I have a HDA Intel audio card, which is well known of a little problematic on linux just because depending on the model it is not automatically detected.
I was also trying to record with the mic and I got nothing, then I found out that alsa was defaulting the input source to use the mic from the panel of the laptop and not the one on the webcam.
Now gnome-volume-control and pulseaudio allows you to select the input-source from GUI, but older releases you'd need to go to a terminal and do alsamixer -Dhw to see the options from the hardware
the weird thing is that dmesg shownd error messages like hardware incompability, just because of a software problem
Now I don't know if it applies to you, but maybe... I've seen a problem with via audo cards with pardus as well...

Senior Mitglied Posts: 16777215 Registered: 2008-12-03 | Hi diogo
Thanks for your hint: alsamixer -Dhw showed me the correct settings (capture enabled and set pretty hig, mic selected).
I'm not sure, whether or not it's related to pulseaudio, which I deactivated.
Unfortunately I could not uninstall pulseaudio (to be honest: I neved succeeded to uninstall anything with upkg-remove...)
sudo upkg-remove pulseaudio
Generating script...
ERROR: Package 'pulseaudio' not found in list of selected packages.
Could not generate script!
[user@apfel:~]$ sudo upkg-remove alsa-plugins
Generating script...
ERROR: Package 'alsa-plugins' not found in list of selected packages.

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | Hi mumpf,
Well first let's talk about your problem with upkg-remove
Upkg is a package manager that actually works differently, the error you're receiving means that pulseaudio is not explicitly installed, it means that this package is a dependency to another package, so removing this other package would automatically remove pulseaudio, packages called selected (in the selected packages list) are the packages explicitly installed (probably it is a paldo-* package which is a metapackage for the system)
The case is that everything on paldo is compiled against pulseaudio, so removing it will make things broken on your system.
Now to change the settings from pulseaudio you should use the files in /etc/pulse/*
I'll try google better, because I never mixed with pulseaudio  .............................. OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez |

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | apparently there are other people on the linux world with your problem
Could you post the output of your lsmod? ( $ lsmod )

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | Hi mumpf,
Apparently your card is a AC97 codec which means your module is snd-via82xx
so the result of modinfo will tell us the options for this module:
| Post Scriptum | |
[diogo@hp-laptop:~]$ modinfo snd-via82xx

parm: enable:bool

This means that cou can add these options to see if they work for example,
Write on your /etc/modprobe.d/sound.modprobe this line to use the "enable" option
Now the options that I think can make any changes are: ac97_quirk or dxs_support=$NUMBER , and maybe if there was a mistake on HAL on detecting your card you could try the mpu_port
So for example the code on /etc/modprobe.d/sound.modprobe for ac97_quirk would be:
After adding the options you would want to test you should reboot so the system reenable the modules with these options .............................. OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez |

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | Hi again,
Found another thing... if you wish to disable pulseaudio you should just clean the lines of the file /etc/asound.conf
So it has these lines:
| Post Scriptum | |
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
|
Remove it and then it seems pulseaudio should not be enabled even if installed .............................. OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez |

Senior Mitglied Posts: 16777215 Registered: 2008-12-03 | I'm really sorry, the mic-problem was caused by a mechanical switch (to switch between headset and speakers... wrong position of the switch. Now the reocrding works finde
/etc/asound.conf did not exist (probably I had removed this file). Do I have to create it?
I have added options snd-via82xx enable=true
using sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/sound.modprobe (this file did not exist). Hopefully after the reboot my mic still works.
Edit: I had to remove /etc/modprobe.d/sound.modprobe in order to make rec work.
By the way: in the gnome volume settings I have to select:
Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input (for a mono microphone of a headset e.g.).
Thanks for your help diogo. I was allready afraid to have to use debian stable which is so slow compared to paldo (debian with lxde seems to me slower than paldo + gnome). Recording in debian did not work either any longer, so I have checked the headset on another computer until I found out that the headset works without the switch... Stupid error.

Senior Mitglied Posts: 216 Registered: 2008-07-04 | Hi mumpf,
I'm just glad that you found the problem, and that you'll be sticking around here...
Please, any bug you find please report in here and we shall find the solution as quick as we can
And yes, in my opinion, the way paldo is built makes it simple, fast and easy to understand the coding. It needs improvements, but what doesn't... we just need to take care of it .............................. OSs: Paldo-testing x86_64 :: HP Pavilion dv9680ez |
