Getting sound on Realtek ALC3226
Getting sound on Realtek ALC3226
Hi, anyone managed to get sound out of this chipset. It's the audio chipset in the Dell Latitude E7440. Everything else seemed to work fine when booting Porteus 3.01 LXDE 64bit, but we had no sound.

Selecting either option for sound card produced no sound on the Test button.

Re: Getting sound on Realtek ALC3226
your HDMI device is set as primary:
and both devices are using the same driver 'snd_hda_intel' so i'm not sure if PSC can handle that (cant check as i do not have such setup).
brokenman was posting some .asoundrc solutions for swapping cards - lets wait till he sees this thread and give you definite solution.
thanks
Code: Select all
SOUND CARDS:
0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf7e34000 irq 64
1 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7e30000 irq 63

Re: Getting sound on Realtek ALC3226
Please open a terminal and paste this is:
Restart your application and try sound again.
Then save /etc/asound.conf in your rootcopy if you are using laways fresh mode. If you are using changes= then it should persist.
Code: Select all
cat >> /etc/asound.conf << EOF
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1
EOF
Then save /etc/asound.conf in your rootcopy if you are using laways fresh mode. If you are using changes= then it should persist.

Re: Getting sound on Realtek ALC3226
You need to follow this and restart kmix as well so that kmix will select card 1 as master channel.
Edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
Edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1

Welcome on porteus forum.
If you are not working with 3.0, you are at the wrong place. Please start a new thread in the newbie section:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewforum.php?f=81
An efficient way to ask questions on a Linux forum (CaptainPicard's suggestion) is explained in How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
i'm new in the forum not in the linux world.
i use ubuntu and fedora before and i like to get a small linux distribution in the usb stick and porteus is the best distro for this task.
i'm using porteus for more than a year and now i don't want to be just a user i want to help in reporting bugs.
i want to ask if there is way to solve a problem in alsa.
i have a conexant sound card and alsa use the HD-Audio Generic as the default sound source but there is no sound so i have to change the sound source to HDA ATI SB.
to do that i go to the file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and change this line:
defaults.pcm.card 0
to:
defaults.pcm.card 1
and the same thing in the kmix and vlc i need to change the the default sound source to HDA ATI SB.
this only in linux distro that use alsa but in pulse audio it works out of the box.
i put this here because i can't enter alsa bug track page:
