Alsamixer cannot find card 0

[gharig]

Hello Everyone,

I have upgraded from Tinycore Pure 64 13.1  to Tinycore Pure 64 16.0.   I'm having a problem with the Alsa-Config and Alsa working on the 16.0 version.
The hardware is the same for both operating systems.  I'm using a Winsystems C407 computer.  The Alsamixer program works when running TC 13.1 VERSION but not the TC 16.0 VERSION.
I have captured data from both 13.1 and 16.0 and have attached below dmesg and the results of lsmod -l, aplay and speker-test.

Any help is appricated.


Thank You
gharig

Hi gharig
Looking through your dmesg attachments I noticed both contained:

Code: [Select]

tce=UUID=c97dc9b3-bdd3-4ace-ac34-3a544cd8c36aWhen you upgraded to TC16, did you also update the extensions in
your tce directory?

Saw this in the TC16.dmesg:

Code: [Select]

pci 0000:00:1b.0: deferred probe pending: snd_hda_intel: couldn't bind with audio component

... The hardware is the same for both operating systems. ...

Not quite. The TC16 version shows an extra USB drive attached:

Code: [Select]

Hi Rich

I'm almost positive that I also updated all the extensions, but I will leave room for error, just incase I did not. I do mess up from time to time.  I will definetly double check in the morning and make sure all the tcz that are being loaded are correct for TC16

I also saw the "could't bind" in the TC 13.1 dmesg, but was missing the

hdaudio hdaudioC0D2: Unable to configure, disabling

As far as my statement stating that the hardware  is the same, is true. Let me clarify,  the CPU and mSata drive are the same.    I just stuck the usb in to copy the files once i was running the TC 16 version. 

my drive is partitioned into 3 partitions

• sda1 55.5 gigs linux Ext4 (with the followingdirctories)
  • tce
  • opt
  • tce13
  • opt13
• sda2 4 gigs linux swap
• sda3 500 MB EFI boot

So inorder to switch between 13.1 and 16

Code: [Select]

sudo mv tce tce16
sudo mv opt opt16
sudo mv tce13 tce
sudo mv opt13 opt

then i reboot with out running a backup.

Hi gharig

... I also saw the "could't bind" in the TC 13.1 dmesg, but was missing the

Code: [Select]

deferred probe pending: ...

What happens if you try loading the driver:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe snd_hda_codec_realtek
Does dmesg then produce any interesting messages:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -n 25
I also noticed this in the TC16 dmesg:

Code: [Select]

byt_gpio INT33FC:00: [Firmware Bug]: Pin 92: DIRECT_IRQ_EN set but no IRQ assigned, clearing
byt_gpio INT33FC:00: [Firmware Bug]: Pin 93: DIRECT_IRQ_EN set but no IRQ assigned, clearing

[gharig]

Hi Rich,

So I tried to load the drivers as these were in TC 13.1 with no luck.

Code: [Select]

sudo modeprobe snd_hda_codec_hdmi
sudo modeprobe snd_hda_codec_realtek
sudo modeprobe snd_hda_codec_generic

Then I came up with the Idea that I should see if it works with other versions of TC Core Plus, I already know that 13.1 works
So I loaded up

• Tinycore Plus 14
• Tinycore Plus 15
• Tinycore Plus 16 (a new one just incase I messed up in the previous)

And the results were

• Tinycore Plus 14 (Passed) 
• Tinycore Plus 15 (Passed) 
• Tinycore Plus 16 (Failed) 

Tomorrow I will try reloading the drivers manually and capture the dmesg to see what I get.


Thank You

Hi Rich

Forgot to talk about the byt_gpio

Code: [Select]

byt_gpio INT33FC:00: [Firmware Bug]: Pin 92: DIRECT_IRQ_EN set but no IRQ assigned, clearing
byt_gpio INT33FC:00: [Firmware Bug]: Pin 93: DIRECT_IRQ_EN set but no IRQ assigned, clearing

This card has 24 bits of digital IO on the main cpu that uses IRQ 10 in the BIOS, I will double check if there are any jumpers I forgot.


Thanks

Hi Rich,

I tried manually loading the drivers, with no success. nothing showed up in dmesg while loading.
I have attached the TC-16 files and the TC-15 files.  The alsamixer works on TC-15.
