No sound from internal amplifier

[hqwrong]

Hi,all.

I moved from Ubunt to Arch yesterday, Everything works well except that I could not hear any sound from internal amplifier. Anyway, the headphones works well,

Because the amplifier functions well when I on Ubuntu, So it can't be a hardware problem, I think. Is there some driver I missed installing?

Did it work with Ubuntu?

You may try OSS4 with old kernels on Arch LiveCDs:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3933#p17316
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3933#p17359

Perhaps, you have to study "NEWS" (after 2011.08.19) and fix something manually: http://www.archlinux.org/

Have you already removed PulseAudio, libpulse, and other crap?

[cesium]

It worked on Ubuntu? Perhaps all you need do therefor is copy the mixer.save (at /usr/lib/oss/etc/) from that install?

Btw, how did you test the headphone? Did you test with osstest?

He told that "the headphones works well". It is unclear whether his microphones (internal/external) work or not.

Hi,all.

I moved from Ubunt to Arch yesterday, Everything works well except that I could not hear any sound from internal amplifier. Anyway, the headphones works well,

Because the amplifier functions well when I on Ubuntu, So it can't be a hardware problem, I think. Is there some driver I missed installing?

Perhaps, he also had OSS4 on Ubuntu. In any case, it makes sense to try "simple solutions" first:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3933#p17359

Is "mixer.save" buggy now?

I'm thinking maybe the default settings need adjustment and he set it up earlier and forgot about it (this can happen). Worth a shot, if he has a copy around...

Just boot Arch LiveCD and make a copy.

In a word, on a Dell notebook (Intel HDA, Latitude D531), external mic works with Arch LiveCD, but the internal mic does not.
It is other way round with Arch installed on the same notebook: the internal mic works and the external does not.

To make mic working with ICH7, one may need to remove OSS4, load ALSA, then install OSS4. Mic will work till the next reboot.
With ICH6, this problem can be fixed with chattr. It does not help with ICH7. It is a very old bug (since, at least, 2009).
