You did that before.
Code: Select all
gksudo xed /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
At the bottom of the file change 3stack to
auto.
Save close reboot and check your sound.
Still no "earphones" and still no 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.
Save, close, reboot and check again your sound.

Try this.
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

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.

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.

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

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

.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.
