em8300 - no audio output

Hi all, this is my first post to this list.
Not totally sure if the devel forum is the best place to post this as I am certainly not a em8300 developer.
No matter what I trying to do, I am unable to make the analog audio work on my H+ card. Only getting noise.
Been using Linux for a few years now, but consider myself a 'perpetual newbie'
My computer is a thin client Teco TR5670, 512 MB RAM, 1GHz Crusoe CPU, 18 GB hd.

For the record, I was unable to hear any meaningful analog audio from the card in question under freshly-installed Windows XP, either. Just noise. I have no way to veryfy that digital audio works or does not.

Using Debian testing, pretty much stock kernel configuration, kernel 2.6.26.
Note that CPU does not support mtrr - does it matter?

Am I missing something in the setup?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

First of all, sorry for the late answer.

Since there is no user mailing-list, this is the right place.

Wow! Your i2c subsystem is very verbose!

I don't know this tool, but this looks like bad news (somewhat confirmed
in your dmesg output): to the best of my knowledge, all H+ or DXR3 cards
have an EEPROM chip. It may mean that your card is somewhat damaged, and
the part dedicated to analog audio might be affected as well...

Just to be sure, you are not using the RCA/Cinch connector but the 3.5mm
stereo jack connector, right?
What application have you tried to get some sound?
What kind of device have you tried to connect to the audio output?
Does the noise seem to vary with the sound you're trying to play? What
if you try to play pure silence?

It should not.
I know the em8300 modules have been used with PowerPC, Alpha and Sparc64
CPU, and as far as I know none support MTRR...


> Am I missing something in the setup?

I don't think so. I'm afraid your card is damaged. Can you aford to get
(buy) anoter one to check?

Nicolas,

Thank you for your reply.
I put the project on the back burner until another card was purchased.
This time it's Creative dxr3 hosted by a generic Pentium3-based PC.
Installed Debian Squeeze from scratch then em8300 modules.
Tested the card in mplayer environment and this time it worked like a charm!
So, the next task is to try the same card in my thin client PC to see if it works.

Best regards and apologies for keeping quiet for 2 months.
