Hmmm, the problem could be one of many, but try this:

A) First we’ll have to edit the ALSA configuration file via terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
B) Scroll down to the bottom and add this line:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
C) Hit Ctrl-O to save and then Ctrl-X to exit.

D) Reboot

If the above doesn't work, delete the previously tried line and try this:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack

The best thing to do is to identify your sound card and then search for a solution.

Using

Code: Select all

lspci -v | less
what sound card is identified?

Far be it for me to introduce a potential red herring, but my experiences with Elyssa (KDE) and Felicia (Gnome) suggest making sure you don't have any Pulse Audio modules installed. I installed Amarok (amongst other KDE apps) onto Felicia with Gnome and they dragged along PA - couldn't get sound to work with them there. Removed the PA, life and sound was good.
