Re: Intel 82801 soundcard problems

Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition
Audio Controller (rev 02)

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0

Any ideas what might be wrong?

company=Intel&card=ICH+southbridge+HD-audio+and+modem.&chip=ICH6%2C+ICH6M%
2C+ICH7%2C+ESB2&module=hda-intel

as that's the only ICH7 driver listed: hda-intel

# modprobe soundcore
# modprobe snd-hda-intel
# alsamixer

If it doesn't let you modprobe snd-hda-intel and it does exist, you might
try adding this to your /etc/modules.conf (or in /etc/modutils/alsa) (or
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa) NOTE: if /etc/modutils/alsa some distros
require you to run update-modules to bring /etc/modules.conf up to date.
And a reboot if you want to be sure it has taken affect(optional).


# /etc/modules.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd cards_limit=1
options snd-hda-intel index=0

alias /dev/sequencer* snd-hda-intel
alias /dev/dsp* snd-hda-intel
alias /dev/mixer* snd-hda-intel
alias /dev/midi* snd-hda-intel

Your distro may already take care of most of that in the alsa-base
package. Or whatever your distro calls it.

# apt-get install alsa-base
