Hello/hola

I`ve realised that when i run alsamixer, de audio card is the C-Media, but the sound comes from de input of the card, and i'm not able to change de volume. I can't understand why if the alsa detector of audio devices don't detect supported pci audio cards, why appears de CMI in the alsamixer?

I try to upgrade alsa drivers but i couldn't, when i execute ./config --with-kernel=$DYNE_SYS_MNT/SDK/sys it tells me that alsa is built-in the kernel

When I execute ./config --with-alsakernel=$DYNE_SYS_MNT/SDK/sys it don't find the folder with the version.(i think si de version of the kernel)

En Castellano:
Me di cuenta que cuando corro el alsamixer la placa que aparece ahí es la C-Media, pero el sonido sale pòr la entraada de la placa y no puedo bajar o subir el volumen. NO entiendo por que si el detector de alsa no encuentra ninguna placa soportada, aparece la C-media en el alsa mixer.

Trate de instalar una versión más nueva del paquete alsa-drivers pero no pude. Cuando ejecuto ./config --with-kernel=$DYNE_SYS_MNT/SDK/sys me dice que Alsa ya está icorporado en el kernel.

Cuando ejecuto ./config --with-alsakernel=$DYNE_SYS_MNT/SDK/sys me dice que no encuentra la carpeta con la version. (será del kernel)


I' hope sb can help, Espero que alguien me tire un soga!

Saludos

I`ve realised that the module is loaded, i saw that was loaded in the when booting the system and i loaded again with modprobe snd-cmipci, but don't detect it.  The output for the lspci is: "> >> >    00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc", perhaps don't realise that is an audio card. when i put on the terminal alsaconf -m snd-cmipci, the script take more time to execute but the result is the same.

TRaté con alsaconf -m snd-cmipci, pero tampoco funcionò a pesar de que tard´p más tiempo en ejecutarse el script.

En cambio hay otros que son adsp, adsp1,adsp2, ..4 y lo que hice fue cambiar el link adsp de adsp0 a adsp1, lo que pasó fue que aparecieron nuevas opciones de mixer en el control del volumen, pero la máquina se colgó.
