Audio not working

[Husse]

The fuse daemon error is nothing to worry about (in this connection)
You have to tell us more facts.
The minimum is exactly which Mint you have (Edition, version)
We also need to know a bit about all your hardware.
Run " lspci " in a terminal and post here (To copy from a terminal right click)
Some wifi and possibly built in sound can be connected to USB even if they are internal - if you suspect you have one of these run " lsusb " in a terminal.

It's an old computer and this

Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30

makes it hard
You could search for that and Linux to try to find a solution
I have to dig a bit more to solve this

I found that this probably happens because the driver is missing
Unfortunately to fix it you have to compile the module
The alsa driver in the link is a bit old, but newer ones don't seem to have the module included
It's not as tricky as it sounds
First
sudo su
This is to make you root in the terminal for a while (simplifying - less sudo this way)

Code: Select all

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2

Code: Select all

tar xf alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2

Code: Select all

rm alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2

Code: Select all

cd alsa-driver-1.0.17/

Code: Select all

./configure --with-cards=cs46xx --with-sequencer=yes --with-isapnp=no --disable-verbose-printk

Code: Select all

make

Code: Select all

make install

Code: Select all

modprobe snd-cs46xx

Close the terminal

Code: Select all

sudo alsamixer

and press m to unmute the master channel which will be muted by default.
If this works for you just add snd-cs46xx to /etc/modules

Code: Select all

echo "snd-cs46xx" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

I don't know if an update of alsa will destroy this or not
