[SOLVED] No sound on Mint Debian

[bustard]

I installed mint debian and updated it.

Things look good except for sound - there is none.

cat/proc/asound/version gives:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.


cat /proc/asound/cards gives:

I installed gnome-alsamixer. Trying to run it gives:

(gnome-alsamixer:8072): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed

(gnome-alsamixer:8072): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault


I re-installed it but got the same result.


My kernel is 3.2.0-3-amd64

The cpu is I5 Ivy Bridge


Any ideas?

try this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/fix-hda- ... qus_thread

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as root:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

And add the following line at the end of the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=generic

Save, reboot

That worked! Thank you kindly.
