I've got a problem with my Asus A8Jc laptop. Tried versions 3.994b, 4.0-161 and 4.0-162. The sound card detects, but nothing is heard. Here are outputs:
dmesg:

No sound both in headphones and speakers. In ossmix select15.* and mix3.* are not adjustable. Could you help me?

Posted: **Sun Aug 27, 2006 5:10 pm**

Hi,

Try:

ossmix pcm1 127

then ru osstest

Also post the output from cat /dev/sndstat - I need to see the Codec ID of the mixer device.

Try using /dev/dsp3.

so audio works from the /dev/dsp3 output?

/dev/dsp0 looks like it's connected to the SPDIF output jack so it's not going to play audio.

No, it does not. Neither osstest, nor xmms/realplayer play no sound. I've linked ln -s /dev/dsp3 /dev/dsp and tried. Nothing in headphones and speakers.

OK we'll have to get one of these machines inhouse to test with.

Same problem for me. Sorry dev. I used /dev/dsp3 before and it worked.. now it seemingly doesn't :-/

Hi,

We have just received our Nvidia Nforce4 with AD1986A HD codec and yes it's silent and we are working on the problem now.

best regards
Dev Mazumdar

Thanks for working on it, dev. I'm now using RC2 and there's now very faint sound. Volume controls in ossmix don't stay set, though. Best of luck.

EDIT: Using ossxmix, I got volumes up. Then proceeded to scare myself to hell by playing a song with the speaker volume at 100%. ossmix is poop now :/

Finale! J'ai les sons!

Hi,

We now have the NForce with AD1986A working just fine - get the latest OSS 4.0rc2-build 172 from www.opensound.com/test

We also have the proper /dev/dsp mapping fixed.
