No sound - Fresh install of Mint 13 (Mate)

Post by stokescj1 »

Hi all,

I have just completed a fresh install of linux mint 13 and the sound does not work. The only time I can hear sound is the start noise and also if I do a left and right speaker test.

I installed mint via a usb stick, and while running the OS on the usb I could actually hear sound while watching media and such, which is very odd.

I have done a fair bit of digging and cant find anything about how I can fix this.

Here are some terminal reads that other people seem to ask when there is a sound issue:

inxi -A

Audio: Card-1: Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Sound: ALSA ver: 1.0.24
Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Redwood HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5000 Series] driver: snd_hda_intel

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec

Codec: IDT 92HD73C1X5


I would very much appreciate some help on the matter! Please also note, I used to run Ubuntu 12.04 which was able to run sound perfectly.

I too am experiencing the same problem. I have tried the ubuntu tweak at least from what I understand (*** linux amature here) and still after all the commands in the terminal I get no system sounds. Please help a newbie!

I seem to have found a solution. Go to Control Centre > Sound > Hardware tab.

You should see two sound modules
Turn off the HDMI one using the drop down.

Repaired my Cinnamon Desktop and found there the sound section. Turned it off and now everything is working as expected.
