No sound in LMDE

[georgezilla]

Installed LMDE 201204 on my HP ze4400us. Works out of the box. Everything! Cool.

Like what I see, so decide to put it on my desktop. Had some trouble with the video driver, but worked it out.

But then suprise!! NO SOUND! Nota, nothing,zero, zip! It has on-board sound, and the snd_via82xx driver is loaded. Nothing. No where. Period. So I put in an SB Audigy1 (SB0092). Recognized it, loaded the driver (snd_emu10k1) and ......

Again, nothing. No matter the program using it. No matter which device. Nothing. Do both the sound devices work? Both work out of the box from the live LM Mate DVD. But LMDE? Nope. To bad. I really liked the idea of not using an Ubuntu derivative.

But no sound is a destro killer.

Any ideas?

I have the exactly same problem on my desktop using LiveDVD (not installed yet because of this). On my laptop I have sound.

I hold my breath and installed LMDX 64bit
I googled the problem more and instead of doing the above I did what Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) says at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s ... ion/150750

THAT SEEMS TO FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!
the solution is in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf add the line

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

Nope, neither of the listed fixes had any effect.

This works for me. If you haven't upgraded to UP6, do so, and then try it again. Good Luck!
