[Solved][Ubuntu 7.04] No sound

Post by **ayu** » 27 Aug 2007, 11:09

ok so this is starting to piss me of. I haven't done much to fix the video yet since i want video first. But this is what i have tried

1: reinstalled alsa and recompiled and such (didn't work)

2: added "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

When i play a video, the video/media player just flashes and closes. And when i play a music file, the media player starts and the visualizer starts to move, but no sound is coming.

I get this from aplay --list-devices

Code: Select all

root@clare:/etc/modprobe.d# aplay --list-devices
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

*Note: i have a modem as well, guess it is recognized as a sound device?

when i do lspci -v i get

Code: Select all

I followed this guide as well without any luck (didn't try all of the options further down on that page, will do now though)

If anyone has a solution or other info that could help me with either sound or video (or both) then please post it here =)

Post by **ayu** » 27 Aug 2007, 11:23

I will take a look at that Thug.

Here is my sound settings btw, if it helps any =/

Notice the "realtek"

and

Maybe it's a problem with modules not loading? =/

i dunno ^^ ...any ideas would be appreciated....

Post by **bad_brain** » 27 Aug 2007, 13:48

tried the system sounds already? would be good to see if the problem is caused by missing codecs or if it's a general sound problem....

Post by **ayu** » 27 Aug 2007, 13:57

Just tested the system sounds, didn't work.

Also i just made a change

i added "options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1"

to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"

Instead of just "pretending" to play in XMMS, it now gives me an error instead.

What to do now? ^^

Just to add on the crap lol, i got an error when opening a random file with gedit....something about ALSA ;/ looks interesting.

Ok, sound working now =)

I found a patch on the ALSA bug reports.

First of all, all the info is found here
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa- ... hp?id=3104

The fix is to download a file

THIS one and THIS one

then...

1. uncompress the ONLY the hda_proc.c from the realtek16 file, and then the other one from the 17.
2. replace the ..//alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_proc.c and patch_realtek.c.
3. recompile and reinstall

you can use this tut to recompile ^^
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

(try without this line first)
4: add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

5: reboot

and...success! ^^

EDIT: configuration of the most of your sound/video programs will most likely be needed, so don't loose your hope if it doesn't work right away
