Linux Mint Forums

Hi there!

Finally came back to Linux Mint 14 (Nadia, x64, KDE), with my new machine (selfbuilt computer).

I got the following problem: I heared the startup-sound and the shutdown-sound. Nothing more. Checked the settings several times. Downloaded the Realtek ALC892 driver (Link: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dow ... wn=false#2 tryed the 3.0 linux/unix driver) installed it and restarted. Now all drivers were deactivated in the settings, except a "Dummy output". Now I hear nothing. With boxes connected to a audio-jack (tryed front and backpanel-jack) I hear some random noises when opening windows n stuff, but not a clear "audio".

Anyone got an idea how could I get this fixed? I really wanted to stay at linux this time so I'm ready to try a whole lot if necessary.

My system:
ASUS M5A97 EVO Mainboard
AMD FX-4170 Quad CPU
GTX550TI
16gigs of ram (Transcend 4x4gb)
System is on a ssd, /home on hdd (dont think that this is relevant)

Will clap for help!
And sorry for my bad english

Regards,
Proxymity

Tryed to install the other Realtek sounddrivers, no changes, tryed to deinstall the installed drivers - but I cannot recovery the "stock-"ones (the ones beeing installed by the mint live-cd). Any advices how its possible to fix it? I dont even got system sounds anymore

Yes that has hapened to me too, twice!
For some reason some of the wideos in the browser turn the frontspeaker off, when trying to mute commercials!!
Go in to controlepannel, chose volume - check that the soundcard is corect.
Now at the buttom of each slider - for all devises ensure that the sound is activated.
Now the sound should be back - for our music enjoyment!
