[SOLVED] FCH Azalia Controller (rev 02) issues on Jessie

#1 Post by serpastorg »

I have an Asus X555Y with an Azalia Controller (that's what lspci -v says...) and the default ALSA drivers
It doesn't have a good behavior. I usually hear some annoying noises and those things.
I use to hear music. It's not a nice experience...
It makes record player like noises...
Can you help me with the drivers, and those things?
I'll put here all the info you ask :)
Updated Debian Jessie with 3.16.0-4-amd64 with fglrx driver

Usually we can get a good idea of the hardware and software if you install inxi and post the output of "inxi -Fx" in the terminal.

Since the sound drivers are part of the kernel, possibly a kernel upgrade to the version in jessie-backports will solve the issue. I got no sound at all on my new Acer with the stock 3.16 kernel, but it's all good with the backports or higher kernels.

That's the inxi output... What a great script. I use to look at the hardware by looking to config files and that stuff... Inxi is simple and good... Great ;)
So you tell me to update kernel... Will it work with fglrx?
Radeon free driver is not good enough. I had got enough it with Ubuntu and its things. Specially speaking about its slowness and the Radeon driver...
Thanks a lot

It was a drivers problem.
I upgraded my debian to Stretch on sunday, 08 January 2017. Stretch has kernel 4.8.0-2-amd64, and it was better (not solved completely, but better. It still makes record player like noises, but less than with the 3.16 kernel from Jessie
And, for those who use fglrx, I have to tell them that it's not compatible with kernel from backports, or Stretch's one.
But there's some good news for fglrx users (who can't use AMDGPU)
Radeon driver from kernel 4.8.0-2 is pretty good.
It works fine... And you could upgrade to that kernel without sobbing a lot...
But, there's something to keep in mind: AMD's Microcode is very buggy. I installed it 'cause debian told me to do that by installing firmware-linux-nonfree, and my laptop freezed a lot of times giving CPU error messages, and had to reinstall it (removing firmware-linux-nonfree was not enough) :?
Thanks to everyone :)
I'll mark this thread as SOLVED
