Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have a 20 inch aluminum imac: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
uname -a |
| 6 |
Linux pyrope 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 #9 SMP Sat Nov 14 14:04:55 NST 2009 x86_64 |
| 7 |
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The sound card is listed by lspci as: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio |
| 12 |
Controller (rev 03) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 says |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Codec: Realtek ALC889A |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I'm using the in-kernel alsa drivers. I have tried compiling into the |
| 19 |
kernel and as modules. I cannot get any output from speakers or |
| 20 |
headphone. (Yes, I have run alsamixer and un-muted everything). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I have looked around using google and problems with the ALC889A codec |
| 23 |
seem common. I tried some of the suggested fixes, like setting |
| 24 |
model=whatever to the kernel snd-intel-hda module. Nothing I have tried |
| 25 |
has worked. I know the sound system is functioning because it works in |
| 26 |
OSX. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If anyone here has any suggestions or knows for sure that the sound |
| 29 |
system on these machines cannot be made to work in Gentoo it would be |
| 30 |
useful to find out before I waste more time on it. |

Thanks, |
