No Sound On C860

[louigi600]

I can't get any sound out of the jeck from my c860 running r121.
(I can hear the click on suspend/resume).
The volume does not scroll on the applet on the menubar and mixmos only shows IGain and OGain (bothe at 95%) but  ither mpg123 nor mplayer produce any sound.

If I do a "dmesg | grep -i alsa" I se tons of messages like this:
ALSA sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c:460 HW_PARAMS failed: -22

Sound used to work with other distro's so unlike my c760 with known audio problems it's not a hardware problem on my c860.

Any one else have the same problem or have ant workaround ?

I don't hink I have audio on my C3100 through the speaker, but I do through headphones. You could try that as a starting point.

I wish things were like you said ... but unfortunatly I did have the headphones plugged inti the 3.5 mm plug (same that I use successfully with cacko).

The problem might be quite a little more complucated because there was also other problems I noticed later (like D+M menu dissapeared).

Hi David,

did you try alsamixer? There are some minor issues with the latest pdaXrom. The solutions I found somwhere here in the forum.

By default the sound is muted. Try

Code: [Select]

TERM=xterm-color
alsamixer
and unmute the speaker using "m" on the corresponding channel. You can also use alsamixer to set the volume.

Cheers, Jan

I suspected something like that ... and tryed mixmos but could not find anything appart igain and ogain. I did not try the alsamixer ... I'll give it a try again tonight when I get back home.

But do you get the same errors
ALSA sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c:460 HW_PARAMS failed: -22
in dmesg or is that something specific to my model and version ?

Grate ... the alsamixer got sound going.
Thanks solighten

Hi louigi600,

just for info:

If I do a "dmesg | grep -i alsa" I get nothing, so it must be specific to your Z.

I spent a lot of time looking for solutions for getting everything to work but now it really does!
I also tried other roms, but came back to pdaXrom. For my needs it is the best rom!

Cheers, Jan

Since I unmuted some stuff and turned off speaker the messages dissateared on my Z too. The wierd thing is that I only unmuted once ... and since then it still works also across reboots.
Do settings get saved somewhere and reloaded by /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa or something else ?
