Here the information:
Option A
-Completely remove PulseAudio & replace it with ALSA.
Very important: This guide was written at the time of Gnome 2 (Mint 11), and before the release of Gnome 3, MATE and Cinnamon, I do not know if the commands are correct for the new releases Linux mint 13, 14 and 15.
See if someone can confirm it that we can f**k the system ...

A. Before proceeding, please use Update Manager to install the latest updates (click mintUpdate tray icon to open Update Manager > Refresh > Install Updates)
B. Menu > Preferences > Startup Applications > uncheck "PulseAudio Sound System" and "PulseAudio Sound System KDE Routing Policy"
C. Remove pulseaudio, related packages and configuration files:
Code: Select all
killall pulseaudio
sudo killall pulseaudio
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libpulse-browse0 paman pavumeter pavucontrol
sudo mv /etc/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf-bak
rm ~/.pulse-cookie
rm -r ~/.pulse
D. Restart your computer
You need to install alsa, in my case most packages are already installed:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsa-oss libalsaplayer0 alsaplayer-esd alsamixergui volumeicon-alsa
These packages
alsamixergui volumeicon-alsa allow us to manipulate the sound of alsamixer graphically, but we can do it through the terminal by typing
alsamixer.
E. Right click Panel, select "Add to Panel" and add "Volume Control" (Volumeicon-Alsa) to Panel.
Option B
-Add the file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto probe_mask=0x103
model=auto is the model name to be given to the VIA chips, which are configured by the BIOS, as /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz, you open it with zless . You can also check the information on this page:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio ... Models.txt
probe_mask=0x103 is to force the driver to load the codec within the "slots" 0 and 1, regardless of what you tell the BIOS obviously this option is added when the BIOS this failing. This information can also be seen in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio.tx.gz you open it with zless.
I tried the Option B and so far has not worked...
That's all the information I have at this moment .....
