I just installed the latest version of LMDE (NO SOUND!)

How do I fix this?? I went to sound preferences and clicked on my usual setting: RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] Digital Stereo. This setting worked for past versions of Linux Mint Debian, but now no setting for audio works! What can I do to solve the problem???? There is absolutely no sound anywhere. Not in vlc media player, not on youtube, nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is my output from

No, it's the ALC892. This was the output:

Codec: Realtek ALC892


Will the fix on that link work just as well for the ALC892? Should I go ahead and try it? I have had no error messages just so you know. I can open up the alsamixer fine. There's just no audio.

you can try that fix, you sure won't be worst than now; if it doesn't work (you still have no sound) just undo the changes and we'll have to dig further.

i too have a 887 and it gives no errors, gives no sound either :lol: at all (not until i apply that fix)

I also lost sound after updating from UP4 to UP6.

In the syslog I noticed:

Code: Select all

pulseaudio[4170]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to open module "module-cork-music-on-phone": file not found
pulseaudio[4170]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
I solved the problem by editing the file: /etc/pulse/default.pa
I changed load-module module-cork-music-on-phone to load-module module-role-cork
The sound is back, although the sound applet is missing in mate, which is another issue.
