Sound not working on ASUS Eee PC 1000H on Q4OS (Debian derivative)

wjc · 04-28-2024, 09:07 PM

Hi there,

I'm pretty sure previously sound was working previously a while ago on ASUS Eee PC 1000H with Q4OS (based on debian bookworm). I've installed the 32 bit version of Q4OS and I reinstalled it.

I'm getting no sound apart from crackles occurring at both high load or when I press play

Based on this website, I have grabbed some info to aid troubleshooting...

What is the audio chipset?

You can find this information with the command lspci issued in a terminal. You may have to issue the command as root.

Also just done

Code:

inxi -ACS

After doing a search - I have found posts relating to bookworm installing 2 sound servers but I'm not sure this is what is happening.

Looked at these forum posts https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=157704

Have done

Code:

sudo inxi -Fxxxrz

I'm sure I was using a program in WINE previously when the sound worked. (I think I didn't realise computer supported 64 bit but because it previously worked with WINE the 32 bit Q4OS - I reinstalled 32 bit Q4OS)

Code:

Audio:
  Device-1: Intel NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio vendor: ASUSTeK
    driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus-ID: 00:1b.0 chip-ID: 8086:27d8
    class-ID: 0403
  API: ALSA v: k6.1.0-13-686-pae status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 status: active (root, process)

Might type alsamixer in terminal. Change F6 choice of chip used from default to intel. Hit F5. Check to see what is muted first.
Might get lucky.

Hi there, didn't work

I have done aplay -l

Here's the output https://termbin.com/qyzj

It's showing Subdevices: 0/1

Is this is why it is not working?

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Aplay Just reinforces whay I cut and pasted from your inxi report, Showing intel as your audio chip.

I get sound using intel.

Code:

$ inxi -A
Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio
    driver: snd_hda_intel
  Device-2: Intel 8 Series/C220 Series High Definition Audio
    driver: snd_hda_intel
  API: ALSA v: k6.3.0-2mx-ahs-amd64 status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.0.0 status: active

I don't run your operating system though to tell you what might be turned off. Sound can be tough to trouble shoot. Took me weeks to get sound working on my
Dell ll chromebook antiX 23.1 install with all the choices of using pipewire or pulseaudio, Lot's of experimentation and setting changes.
That was why I said. "Might get Lucky"
