Open Sound Question

Forum thread started by catnip on Tue, 2010-06-08 20:22

Open Sound is my last hope for sound in Haiku Alpha 2 (at least right now). By using ls dev/audio/hmulti, hda was the only thing coming up for me.

Here is my audio controller info: device Multimedia controller (Audio device) [4|3|0]
vendor 8086: Intel Corporation
device 27d8: N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller

I disabled hda in both places where I read I should and then installed opensound from the terminal. I'm not getting anything but, whoa, that application isn't just for turning your sound up and down, lol! I don't know if not getting anything from Gain in Audio Mixer is telling me that it's a no-go for me or if there's something I'm supposed to do with all those controls in Intel Audio HD?

Media Preerence does show my sound as Intel now, so it did do that.

Thanks for any tips!

check the status of the various mute switches in the intel hd audio settings. in my case, on a samsung netbook, they all come up muted after each reboot and i have to unmute the internal speakers and/or the green connector (line output), and also "misc. pcm1 mute" under "misc" before i get any sound. the first two were obvious enough but i had to poke around a bit for the last one. with those unmuted it works great and for basic playback all the various other intel hd controls can be more or less ignored-volumes can be controlled from the app or the system mixer. on occasion i lose all sound and am not sure why, and can only get it back with a reboot. ymmv.
