Error! when attempting to install new kernel!

[medio-core]

I installed Mint 15 not too long ago and just like the problem I had with 14, I have absolutely no sound. AT ALL. And my sound output isn't even an HDMI sound output.
I've tried anything people suggested but there just are so few solutions floating around!
So, I heard that updating to a newer kernel would solve the issue, so I tried. BUT every time I try to install the kernel image .deb file, it shows this:

Code: Select all

I just don't know what to do! Please help! I will post all specs you need(but please, give me the terminal code to view them, I'm not too advanced in this all).
Thank you!

medio-core ,

Can I ask where you got that deb file

Do you have a real peculiar sound card

What does cat /proc/asound/cards and grep -i codec /proc/asound/card*/codec\#* | cut -d: -f3 return

I got it from this index: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Um, I don't think so...I just have whatever this old computer came with haha, it says it has Intel High Definition Audio but that's all the info I could get.
cat /proc/asound/cards gives me

Code: Select all

 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0x401c0000 irq 44

and grep -i codec /proc/asound/card*/codec\#* | cut -d: -f3 gives me nothing at all...just a blank line!

[WharfRat]

medio-core,

So it doesn't appear to be the card, it looks like the codecs,

Does

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/card*/codec\#*

return anything - it should be pretty long-winded in the order of 400+ lines.

Do you remember the last time that adapter spit-out any sound

Do you dual boot windows and if so does sound work in windows

The last time my speakers worked with my computer? Um, before I installed Mint 15, when I still had Mint 12 installed. I checked my speakers too today and they're perfectly fine.
I do not dual boot, this computer only runs Linux Mint 15 at the moment. : )

medio-core,

There's nothing strange with the lsmod output. Have you taken the alsamixer route yet making sure pcm and any other selector isn't muted or at 0

I checked my speakers too today and they're perfectly fine

How did you do that

This is what I get when I open alsa mixer(click to view larger):
[rimg]http://oi40.tinypic.com/f38h3k.jpg[/rimg]
Is the beep option supposed to be on? I will turn it all the way up, reboot, and see what happens...

And I'm using a desktop so my speakers are just sort of there ha, and I hooked them up to my iPod, perfect sound, no problem.

[medio-core]

So, raising the Beep option didn't do anything. Still nothing. And I also want to just tell you that the only option I have for sound output is called "Dummy Output".

[WharfRat]

medio-core,

I'm going to assume you tried F6

What does aplay -l return

What does aplay -l return

Yes, I have and it shows this:
[rimg]http://oi43.tinypic.com/t813bd.jpg[/rimg]
The USB device has no volume options, by the way.

aplay -l gives me this

Code: Select all

and then nothing after that, no lines, nada!

[WharfRat]

medio-cor,

I'm hoping this isn't going to require the big guns

What do these give you

Code: Select all

ldd $(which aplay)|awk '{print $3}'|while read f;do  [[ ! -z $f ]] && ls -lh $(readlink -f "${f}");done

medio-cor,

I'm hoping this isn't going to require the big guns

What do these give you

Code: Select all

[[ -e /dev/snd ]] && ls -alR /dev/snd

I hope not either! Haha!

The first gives me:

When I run that first command it says that the permission is denied:

bash: ../controlC1: Permission denied

and so I tried in "superuser" mode and got that the "lrwxrwxrwx" command was not found...
Nope, no change at all with that second method. : (

medio-core,

In examining this output I've pinned-down what I 'suspect' could be the problem. The pci device id 00:1d.7 which is a usb2 controller is somehow getting assigned as an audio device.

00:1d.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03)

Code: Select all

awk '/00:1d.7/,/Kernel/' <(lspci -k)

and

Code: Select all
