no sound from lmde

[giorsat]

Hi. I followed the topic "how to solve sound problems in lmde" pasting the script in asound.conf but after reboot I can't get any sound
i have a
Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

any idea how to solve this HUGE problem?

Hi!
Supposing you've tried "alsamixer" and "pavucontrol" I suggest to run:

Code: Select all

gnome-alsamixer

Reading the script I found a different way than I normally use /Julia:
I edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf - but maybe in LMDE you don't have this file?

[giorsat]

yes there it is. alsa-base.conf
what do you do in that file?

[seeley]

Hi!
Please run in a Terminal:

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Password
Add at the end:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

save, reboot,
then run "alsamixer" in a Terminal window to unmute and adjust ALSA channels.
If this step was unsuccessful, then replace that line with
"options snd-hda-intel model=name of your computer"...
...reboot...

it seems that my card is supported from kernel 2.6.33 on... how can i get a 2.6.33 or 2.6.35 kernel installed in lmde? is there a unofficial repo where i can get a newer kernel??

You can install the Liquorix Kernel: http://liquorix.net/

i tried vaious solutions included the liquorix kernel. but I have the same result. I can only hear from headphones but nothing fron internal speakers of my laptop. any idea how to direc the output from the jack to the speakers?

[giorsat]

SOLVED! I installed the kernel 2.6.37 in experimental. reboot. reconfigure pulseaudio as in you "how to solve audio issues" then choose the right output and added
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Hi giorsat!
Even though I did not solve your problem, I'm asking you to add [solved] to the subject line, so that people who want to help others can do that as fast as can be.
