Re: Trouble shooting ALSA
Debian User Forums • View topic - alsaplayer has no stream
The terminal says all modules are loaded but no joy.
Something to do with the playlist or stream file sent and the
characters within it ?
I've had alsaplayer work in the past but not today.

Section (1) Find out if you are already a member of the audio and video groups, execute as local user. also run the groups command to check if adding has landed.
Section (12) has
I suggest it does not hurt, for members to post as a local user result of which can be installed, if missing from free section of repo. Members need to be aware that the order of sound devices may differ from aplay -l as inxi looks at original order.
example
and I think members might like this link, which has further links at the top, but concens info on model=your-model stuff
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ ... index.html
your link below is stale

(2) Most members, using laptops or onboard sound to speakers, 3.5 mm headphones and the like probably are like me and have HDMI as first sound device. In alsa that is called index=0 as alsa counts from zero not one.
So although I am risking adding a tip, I would suggest members consider swapping sound devices to get analog if that is what they want by adding a file with root powers called, ( it can be called anything.conf)
/etc/modprobe.d/index.conf. And assuming you have 2 intel devices example would be
-Are they using a $HOME/.asoundrc
-Are they using an /etc/asoundrc
-Are they using a grub config to set sound or blacklist etc
-Are they using a /etc/modprobe.d file (and reveal its contents)
----examples might include blacklist modulename, index=model, or some other setting

with a good command to find codec chip name. Alas codec chip names can be misleading IMHO. So company name like Realtek may be result but it using the intel sound modules.options snd-hda-intel model=YOUR_MODEL
I suggest it does not hurt, for members to post as a local user result of

(3) Due to that, and I know craigevil has already mentioned the alsa-info.sh, but it does not hurt members asking for help to mention in addition to their other comments:options snd_hda_intel index=1

Re: Trouble shooting ALSA
After checking for correct modules and that the correct hardware is seen as card 0 shouldn't there be something about disabling pulseaudio to see if sound works without it, before getting into a long list of other steps?
Or is it assumed that people will have asked for help in the forums and got referred to this howto for the alsa part of the troubleshooting or found a different howto for pulseaudio?

Topic is 11 years old from when Debian didn't have Pulseaudio. Necrobumping is discouraged.

Hey @sunrat, I may have inadvertently given a thumbs down to you when responding to a post. I didn't mean to do it.
Hope you don't take offense.

Re: Trouble shooting ALSA
I think thumbs down only appears after you have already given a thumbs up so it just removes it and sends it back to digital thumb heaven. No worries!
