Title: [SOLVED] Sound and video problems with 810 rc1
Post by: willow3 on September 11, 2011, 09:29:28 pm

Hi,

Experiencing several problems with a snapshot from October 2010 I installed rc1. I have an MD with a geforce 9300 that worked out of the box earlier. Now, I did not get any sound nor video. Starting with the sound I got the following:

Code: [Select]

sambahelper@moon35:~$ aplay -l      
aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found...

Code: [Select]

sambahelper@moon35:~$ lspci -v
00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1)
        Subsystem: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 20
        Memory at fe020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

The only thing I have done is to upgrade alsa to 1.0.23 (which is what I was using before).

As for video:

Code: [Select]

sambahelper@moon35:~$ grep -i "x driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  195.36.15  Thu Mar 11 22:01:49 PST 2010

This is the version I used before.

Does anyone know what has happened since last year that could explain this behavior? Any logs I should examine?

regards

Willow3,

Has this been resolved?

I do not understand wich version you installed.

No, I haven't been able to resolve this one. Just for clarification: The UI2 works, but I can not play any video media. Neither does the sarah video stream show up during setup.

I installed the  LinuxMCE-8.10-final.iso  from the release directory.

regards

*hmm* a couple of restarts of the MD and the sound and video was back. I thought that kind of solution was reserved to the windows community ;-)
