Intel HDA Audio SOLUTION

[Nathan P]

Found this after a good amount of searching on the Fedora forums of all places. Seemed like there were numerous people with issues. The thread was for HDMI audio out but it works for the optical out too!!! FYI I'm using an Asus G1S-A1 and it works perfectly with the SPD/IF out.

Finally, I did, I made hdmi sound work on my asus g1s.

Now my aplay -l shows a digital device:

Code: Select all

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC660-VD Analog [ALC660-VD Analog]

I made it work by going to this file "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base":

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base


then I delete all the contents of that file and put this:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=3stack-660-digout


at "model" you have to put one that is made for your hardware, look here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5131958&postcount=2 for a complete list of models available.

Then I use alsamixer to unmuted the IEC958.

Now, I have crisp sound on Linux.

This is about the same as I have adviced a long time now

Only the model is different and that can make a difference

Can't seem to find an exact fit for my computer, anyone know which model may work for me?
