Thread: Multiple card Issue, alsa, Nvidia, Via Azalia

hello dear community.

when had ubuntu 10.04 sound worked!

have post several threads issue, hope last one, os version ubuntu 11.04, hardware is: nvidia gts 450 video card egs; , integrated sound card reference: via azalia hdac vt1708/a; after installing ubuntu had no audio through integrated sound card, cant use nvidia hda card because need hdmi audio, , dont have hdmi sound devices dvd or tv. need use integrated default via soundcard. updated os, nothing changed. after typing aplay -l showed this:

-------------------------------------------------------
aplay -l
**** lista de playback dispositivos hardware ****
tarjeta 0: nvidia [hda nvidia], dispositivo 3: hdmi 0 [hdmi 0]
subdispositivos: 1/1
subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0
tarjeta 0: nvidia [hda nvidia], dispositivo 7: hdmi 0 [hdmi 0]
subdispositivos: 1/1
subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0
tarjeta 0: nvidia [hda nvidia], dispositivo 8: hdmi 0 [hdmi 0]

subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0
tarjeta 0: nvidia [hda nvidia], dispositivo 9: hdmi 0 [hdmi 0]
subdispositivos: 1/1
subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0
------------------------------------------------------------

so alsa not recognize integrated soundcard. maybe not recognized @ os, lspci -v shows this:

----------------------------------------------------------------
this information regarding lspci -v output; ""notice via (80:01.0) device doesnt use driver has asigned module "snd-hda-intel"""
need use via 80:01.0 device nor 02:00.1 audio device: nvidia corporation gf106 high definition audio controller;

searching , "googling": found out that: nvida hda gf106 , via azalai hdac uses same sound module "snd-hda-intel"; going modprobe.d/alsa-base-conf
throws this:

i tried put in alsa-base this: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack; 6stack; nothing changed still no audio.
need use integrated azalia via sound card uses same module snd-hda-intel nvidia hda card(that dont need).

went /proc/asound/cards , showed this:

-----------------------------------------

0 [nvidia ]: hda-intel - hda nvidia
hda nvidia @ 0xddffc000 irq 25
---------------------------------------------

so not recognize other card nvidia though lspci -v shows both sound cards. notice card uses irq 25 , via azalia uses irq 16 doesnt show memory location.

so please community how configure alsa use integrated via azalia irq 17 vt1708/a snd-hda-intel module , stop using nvidia gf106 hda sound card????

case need @ alsa-info.sh here is:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=69...000793c247b2af

finally thank you.

btw, expert configuring multiple cards in alsa???

i'm no expert.
please no more capitalization & bold typeface of text unless highlighting single point.

there error messages in kernel log files reveal happened on startup.

dmesg | grep hda

or make happen
[sudo] rmmod snd-hda-intel
[sudo] modprobe snd-hda-intel

can try options model=3stack with modprobe ..
(these options fix incorrect input/output issues)
& check
dmesg | tail
aplay -l

if put module options in file contained in /etc/modprobe.d/ have update kernel boot image.
[sudo] update-initramfs -u


same driver snd-hda-intel used mobo & gpu because audio codec in nvidia graphics card exposed standardized hda codec.
there module loaded nvidia device only.
