linux-2.5.69 (problem encountered since 2.5.67)
DELL Inspiron 8100
- Pentium3-M
- ESS Maestro3
- Intel chipset
- builtin eepro100
- builtin lucent winmodem (not used)
- builtin nVidia GeForce2 Go (yes happens without nvdia.com driver too)
- BIOS A15
using vanilla Debian GNU/Linux sid without incorporation of
Debian's kernel-package mechanism.
ever since I've run ALSA's snddevices script to create the needed /dev
entries the laptop creates a permanent low-volume high tone (beep-like,
but definitely not sounding like a normal pc-speaker).
didn't happen with 2.5.x prior to running snddevices script and also
doesn't happen with 2.4.x.
* I am not saying that this behaviour is ALSA related *
* just telling how it came into existence *
first I thought it has to be the "beep on init" issue Zach Brown also
noted in the TODO-list in OSS maestro3.c. Zach told me to contact ALSA
list or Takashi Iwai directly. I took the shortcut and tried to find
out whether this could be ALSA maestro3.c (based off OSS maestro3.c)
related and after some mailing with Takashi he concluded that it
doesn't look like an ALSA problem.
now I tried again with 2.5.69 and also with a modified 2.5.69 that
is basically ALSA CVS copied over vanilla 2.5.69.
without luck and while searching for an answer in #kernelnewbies
William Lee "wli" Irwin III advised me to fire off a report to LKML.
description of the strange sound:
- high tone
- permanent
- happens before loading ALSA modules
- as I didn't DEBUG I couldn't see at which log-message (dmesg) the
beep starts
- seems to come and go with HDD activity
* I am not in a position to say that this is a bug in the kernel *
* it just seems so to me *
thanks in advance for any helpful reply
