[Solved] Zotac Ionitx stereo audio

[gridaphobe]

Hi I just installed Linux Mint 10 on my zotac Ionitx D HTPC, but I can't seem to get any audio output. In contrast to most people with these boards, I'm just trying to get regular audio from the headphone jacks, but the system only seems to recognize the HDMI output. Any ideas?

Here's the output of aplay -l

Code: Select all

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

and aplay -L

Code: Select all

null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
both
multi
pulse
    Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server

    HDMI Audio Output
dmix:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
    HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI
    Direct sample mixing device
dsnoop:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
    HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI
    Direct sample snooping device
hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
    HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI
    Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
    HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI

I've searched through many forum posts and found this for /etc/asound.conf

Code: Select all

plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3

I'm also fully up-to-date on software and BIOS, but I haven't upgraded the kernel from whatever linuxmint 10 ships with.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi gridaphobe!
You could read through Seeley's "Quickly get help":

Thanks Lauren, I already looked at that post though. Here's some more output and screenshots.

Output of cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

Code: Select all

Codec: Nvidia MCP79/7A HDMI

It seems that mint isn't even recognizing the stereo jacks...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nevermind, I fixed it. I had the BIOS Azalia setting set to Internal Codec, which apparently only does HDMI. Setting it to Internal + External Codec fixed everything

Hi gridaphobe!
Glad for you.
Normally the OP marks his thread as solved by editing his first post and adding [solved] to the subject line, if there are no more unanswered questions.
