Sound Problems

Ok for those who have been experiencing sound problems, I have compiled a new kernel. I included a lot of sound
patches, and hope they will cover just about all of the problems that are being experienced.

When the kernel becomes available, it should be (kernel-2.6.24.4.granular2-1-1granular2008) If you do test
or just use to correct or improve you sound quality. Then please let us know if it worked for your system.

I'm looking forward to it Chris....

I'll not be able to update the repo with this new kernel until some 2 more days. Sorry about that, Chris. You know the reason. I'll surely try doing it tonight, but cannot be sure about it.

No problem, and yes I understand. So as soon as possible works great. 

I have also finished an AMD version.

I'll try to get that uploaded tonight as well, unless I find something terribly wrong.

Just letting you know...

I fixed the problem...

Ran config.

That's great. 

I am curious on how you got that solved.

Your a funny guy Anurag...

You gave me the tip last week....

Ok the new kernel is in the repo, so it might, and I say might help with sound problems. It would be worth it to give it a try. 

I am curious on how you got that solved.

Aqua

I see. And I thought the problem was solved using some other method (apart from what I had suggested previously). 

Sorry for the confusion. 

Rest assured Anurag,

Your two suggestions were invaluable..

You told me to either...

(a) Config alsa

or alternately....

(b) Use Granular Control Centre.>harrdware>soundcard

Aqua

I tried both, but the latter was the easiest.

Cheers

Sorry guys, I cannot see any uploaded kernel in my repos.
When first searching the kernel upgrade I had just those repos activated

• http://www.granularproject.org/content/repo/
• http://spout.ussg.indiana.edu/linux/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/
• http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/

but had no luck. Then I left just the first one but still no luck. Then I activated all of the 19 repos available in Synaptic but still no upgrade is found, neither an upgrade for some other software... just nothing. Of course I've been pressing the RELOAD button for the changes to take effect each time it has been suggester to me by Synaptic.

Any suggestion please?
Thanks.

macman,

All you have to do is add the word test to the sections for the granular repo, then you'll see the upgrade
available. So go back to the repository dialog in synaptic, and highlight your granular repo. Then look
to the bottom, and you'll see a line that says section(s) add the word test there and hit ok. And then
after that you will also have to hit the reload button again just see whats available in that repo.

macman,

Chris is right. Just add the word "test" in the Sections field corresponding to the first repository in Synaptic.

Please see the below link for the image that demonstrates this.

Thanks for your help. I did it and now I ..."solved" (?!?) my problems with the mixer
http://www.granularlinux.com/forum/index.php?topic=532.0

I say "solved" since KMix seems to work properly (the slide bar moves properly) but moving it produces no volume variations. I tried playing an audio file with Amarok and moving the slidebar, I tried with some youtube videos but no luck in both cases.

Any suggestion please?

Moreover I had some issues while installing the new kernel version.
First of all I press the "Mark all Upgrades" button on Synaptic and that announced that the following packages would be removed:
-> hplip#2.7.10-2pcolos2007
-> hplip#2.8.2-1pcolos2007
-> kdeutils

As for the first two I had some messages each time I started Synaptic: the 'hplip' package won't be updated correcly since you've got more than one different versions installed... more or less that's what that message said... I don't know if that helps.
As for "kdeutils" I just tried to install it back but:
kdeutils:
 Depends: python (< 2.5)
 Depends: libkdeinit_irkick.so
 Depends: libkregexpeditorcommon.so.1

Those upgrades installed me a new version of 'drakconf'. Synaptic noticed that at the end of the upgrade:

While installing package drakconf-10.18.1-6granular2008:

warning: /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules saved as /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules.rpmsave
warning: /etc/hp/hplip.conf saved as /etc/hp/hplip.conf.rpmsave

Moreover, when installing the new kernel version I have got those messages

I just don't know if it's all ok for the kernel or not...

Thanks for your time. And sorry for the multiple questions here requiring multiples answers.
