At the bottom of the file change 3stack to auto.

Save close reboot and check your sound.

Still no "earphones" and still no sound.

Change the model=auto to index=1,0

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel index=1,0

Save, close, reboot and check again your sound.

First remove the line from alsa-base.conf.
options snd-hda-intel index=1,0
save and close the file.

Then make a new file.

Code: Select all

gksudo xed /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf

And add this inside.

Code: Select all

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel id=SB index=0
options snd-hda-intel id=NVidia index=1

Save, close, reboot and check again your sound.

Change it.

Code: Select all

gksudo xed /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf

Remove all the other and add only this.

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Save, close, reboot and check again your sound.

Try this.

Code: Select all

gksudo xed /etc/pulse/default.pa

Find this.
#set-default-sink output
and make it.

Code: Select all

set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.iec958-stereo

Save, close, reboot and check again your sound.

If the above do not work replace it to.

Code: Select all

set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo

Save, close, reboot and check again your sound.

P.S Try these with 4.4 lts kernel

rickshaw · Post by **rickshaw** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:09 am

OK, tried both ways, still no sound.

PulseAudio still has the word "silent" on it. I have a feeling this is a key but I cannot find what the lock is that it unlocks. Unfortunately there appears to be nothing online about PulseAudio.

asinoro · Post by **asinoro** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:13 am

If no one comes with a suggestion, the last I can think since it works ok in Mint 17 upgrade it to 18 and see. Off course having backup before.

asinoro · Post by **asinoro** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:27 am

If you try.

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel

and then

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe  snd_hda_intel

Do you see any change?

trytip · Post by **trytip** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:57 pm

go to .config/pulse DELETE everything and reboot then post output of:

pactl list | grep -A2 'Source #' | grep 'Name: ' | cut -d" " -f2

Where is "config/pulse"? Please provide the full path.

trytip · Post by **trytip** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 9:52 pm

.config/pulse is the complete path
open filemanager and hit ctrl+h which will show hidden files then go to .config/pulse delete everything in there reboot and show the output of the command

I don't know if my experiences will help you or not, but here is what I did to get audio in 18.2/3.
Clean installs of 18.2 or 3 would not give audio out with any combination of settings. When I go back and install 18.1 and unmute the line out in alsa mixer, I have good audio. I can then successfully upgrade to 18.2/3 with audio. No other combination would result in audio. Unmuting line out on clean installs of 18.2/3 would not work.
Good luck. These guys are really hanging in there with you. I know you appreciate them all.
