Audio Problems (Om2008.12)

[Andrew Stone]

Hey, Thanks for the quick reply:

As far as alsa goes, I've tried restoring the state files while on a call under Debian and SHR (and tried a few different ones I found suggested around here), and still the same thing. qTopia produced an amazingly high-pitched sound whenever I tried to call someone (something with mic feedback, I believe).

I shall give FSO a shot later...but from the looks of it, it'll be exactly the same.

I got no audio...whatsoever.   Opening up alsa (that was fun...), I adjusted 
everything around, and I could only get the bottom speakers on.   I changed 
some of the *.state files as suggested in the wiki and a few online posts 
(ie. I downloaded and tried them), and the same thing...only the bottom 
speakers would work -- no earpiece.

earpiece in the handset.

might be a possible cause. Anyway adjusting all the mixer controls the right 
way is rather difficult. 

So I'd ask you to do the following

ssh in to FR
establish a call
from ssh console execute
alsactl -f /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state restore

please make sure you haven't edited gsmhandset.state. Check if sound from 
earpiece speaker starts working.


You also might want to check with another distri, like FSO e.g.
