ALSA HDA driver update for RHEL 5.3

I've got this hardware from intel, is it supposed to work with this kernel?

Yes, ICH10 should be supported.

Test kernels are available here:

http://people.redhat.com/jkysela/hdaUpdate2/

in kernel-2.6.18-98.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Ron, and Don

The kernel belwow would fix the Alsa issue of ICH10 

 kernel-2.6.18-99.el5.x86_64.rpm             23-Jul-2008 15:01  16.2M  RPM
package file


I am able to check the from and back speaker as well as recording.

This fixes the issue with ICH10 now.

Regards,

Lee

sound does NOT work in the following kernels.
kernel-2.6.18-92.el5
kernel-2.6.18-99.el5
kernel-2.6.18-101.el5

the only thing I was able to get is noise by #dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/dsp 
volume controls does not have any influence on volume of the noise...

Jaroslav, this machine is close to me, let me know if you want to check something.
Also, sound is working on the latest rawhide kernel.

Anton, could you try kernel from bug#456215 ?

ok, hereis the results:
kernel-2.6.18-98.el5.hdaUpdate3.x86_64 has the same behaviour as I described for -99 and -101 kernels.

But, I went further and discovered that all the kernels I mentioned has _working_ sound at the "black" jack, while I tried to get something from "green" one.

dunno, whether it's fine and solved. :) but I'm pointing to the difference between the kernel in rawhide and RHEL. in rawhide, I'm getting sound from "green" jack, and in RHEL - from "black". 

Cheers!

The driver in rawhide should be similar as in RHEL now. It might be just an configuration issue. Could you compare output from 'amixer controls' for RHEL and Rawhide kernels? Also, comparing output from 'cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0' might help to identify this issue.

rawhide output

rawhide output of the #amixer controls and #cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#2

Created attachment 313556 [details]
rhel output

RHEL5 output of the #amixer controls and #cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#2

Sorry, the right amixer command should be 'amixer -c 0 contents'. Anyway, 'Front' volume slider seems to be zero for RHEL kernel judging from the codec settings. Make sure that all mixer controls in 'alsamixer -c 0' command using the RHEL kernel match rawhide kernel. Thank you.

ok. so, everything works just fine.
have no idea, how could I miss 'front' volume adjuster. I do remember I moved every of the adjusters to top.... but never mind

I confirm. hda_intel/rlt889 is supported on ICH10.

Anton,

can you please run "alsaunmute" utility and check if the Front channel is enabled? (Put down all sliders in alsamixer and run alsaunmute, sound should be audible after that).

yes, "alsaunmute" do the trick as expected. :)

The Intel® High Definition Audio driver in ALSA has been updated.

Tested Tylersburg (ICH10 ALC889) and McCreary (ICH10 ALC889A) with RHEL5.3-Client-20081006.0 x86_64.  Rear output jack works on both, front only works on Tylersburg.  Mic jacks do not work at all.

I tested Tylersburg-HEDT (ICH10 ALC888) with Snapshot5, RHEL5.3-Client-20081204 on both x86_64 and i386 arches. Both front and rear mic works on x86_64.  But on i386, there is much noise when playback.

By RHEL5.3-SP6, one issue remaining of audio driver is multi-channel cannot work on McCreary with RHEL5.3 Client i386 version.  Only front right channel and front left channel have sound.  I opened a new bug #477899 tracking this issue.
