Asus eee 900 multimedia problems

[<APX>]

Hi guys

I just ran BT3 from my USB stick in my Asus eee 900 to test it before a full installation.
It seems to work fantastic except that I can't see videos, the KPlayer hangs up, and I have no sound.

I searched the forum, and tried with alsaconf and alsamixer and everything seems to be fine but I cant hear anything.

xmms starts playing the file but there is no sound.

For what I had read BT3 was fully compatible with the eee...

Any help to get the sound and the videos working will be greatly appreciated

Hi

Had the same problem (no sound). I've got the sound working by updateing the alsa-drivers to the devel-release (1.0.17rc3).

# wget f__tp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17rc3.tar.bz2
# tar xvfj alsa-driver-1.0.17rc3.tar.bz2
# cd alsa-driver-1.0.17rc3
# ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
# make
# make install

also in my /etc/modprobe.d/sound a have a entry: "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" but I think this isn't nessesary since this should be the default... but anyway... sound is working kow.

HTH

Thanks a lot fsormok, I already thought I was the only crazy one without sound in the world
Anyway I decided to install an Ubuntu Hardy in my eee and have a USB stick with BT3 for the moments I need to use many tools.
