Audio problem with Asus Xonar xt card

[frapelli]

Doesn't work, no audio.

Phonon test is OK, but no sound in any player or browser.

Thanks

open as user "alsamixer" and raise all sliders. On CL, still as user, open moc (by typing "mocp"), open/play a song. No sound?

"Doesn't work, no audio."

Such things helps no one, without any relevant info!

[michaa7]

As towo stated, if you could be more verbose about audio hardware, what siduction flavour, custom install of audio apps and output of apps, this could maybe lead to some helpfull advice.

And after providing such usefull infos please append the output of

"# lsmod | grep snd"

Try the following:

echo blacklist snd-hda-intel > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-onboard.conf

reboot and test again.

Thanks towo, it worked.

Sorry, one more little problem. Today sound is only by headphones. Alsamixer let me choose only between "Headphones" and "FP Headphones". No other options.

And yes, with headphones it works, but...

Thanks.

and yesterday it worked for speakers as well?

Normally when you plug in headphones the speakers
do not work. The socket acts like a switch.

It is either headphones (when plugged in) or speakers (HP not plugged in).

After a dist-upgrade and a reboot, speakers reappeared in alsamixer and sound reappeared in speakers.

Yes, till the day before speakers worked.

Actually with Asus Xonar XT it is possible to have earphones plugged and speakers sounding all the same, the output is controlled via software. Phones and speakers can't play at the same time, of course. As far as I know.
