Need help. I moved to Mint two months ago and everything is working fine but I have no sound. I used to run Mandriva 2008 on the same hardware, and sound worked fine.

CODENAME=Felicia
EDITION=Main Edition
DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 6 Felicia - Main Edition"

TOOLKIT=GTK

I haven't touched any configuration manually. I only tried changing configs through the graphical menus so I can't have broken anything.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks,

The
00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
is actually some Intel ICH sound
Try this

Of course you use model=dell

Re: No sound on Dell C521, Mint 6 Felicia Main
Thanks Husse, but no it didn't work .
I noticed at my syslog these lines appear:
Mar 14 19:16:22 amos pulseaudio[5849]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
Mar 14 19:16:22 amos pulseaudio[5851]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
Mar 14 19:16:22 amos pulseaudio[5851]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted
Mar 14 19:16:37 amos pulseaudio[5851]: module-x11-xsmp.c: X11 session manager not running.
Mar 14 19:16:37 amos pulseaudio[5851]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-x11-xsmp" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
This probably means something is wrong. Ideas? Thx

Re: No sound on Dell C521, Mint 6 Felicia Main
I have the same errors and my sound works, with the exception of a USB headset and that's not related
There are lots of reports about these log entries but no explanation
To be on the safe side - check all settings for sound including double clicking the volume applet at the clock

[SOLVED] Re: No sound on Dell C521, Mint 6 Felicia Main
In the sound settings everybody is enabled. I have device saying HDA Nvidia (Alsa mixer).
In the Control Center, .... ok. I think I found it....
I just went into Multimedia Systems Selector, and Pulse Audio was set. Tested, nothing. When I changed to Alsa and tested a LOUD sine wave sound was heard. Ouch...
And now I can get music out of Rhythmbox.... resolved!
Thanks for the help Husse! The alsa-base thing and setting Alsa instead of PulseAudio was the answer.

Well we're not the only ones who'd like to use a dirty word together with pulse audio
