Sound has always been a problem on this Dell 15z Ultrabook, but between kernel shopping and the addition of an option in
Code: Select all
alsa-base.conf
Not so in LM 19.
The headphones - earbuds, work fine. but not the speakers.
chris-LEJ solved the sound problem in LM 18.3, here:
viewtopic.php?f =48&t=265908&hilit=dumm ... 0#p1499893
I'm in LM 19 Cinnamon, with a similar sound card...
Intel 7 Series/C210 Audio, vs his
Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset.
I've tried almost everything anyone has ever suggested, to no avail.
It seems I can not properly follow instructions to achieve the same result.
Am I missing something, and so failing to properly implement this solution?
Here is chris-LEJ 's solution:
had a similar problem with Linux Mint19 ... for me it helped to upgrade kernel to version 4.15.0-29-generic which made the system see the card but still no sound.
Used then, this command re-graps tyhe card and initializes it. Then created a file (called it alsafix)Code: Select all
alsactl -nrestore
ThenCode: Select all
echo alsactl nrestore >alsafix
then added a startup entry via GUICode: Select all
chmod +x alsafix&&cp alsafix /sbin
and it works.Code: Select all
"./alsafix"
Hardware: Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
Card: HDA Intel PCH │ Chip: Realtek ALC269VC
(in my case a Panasonic Toughbook CF-C2)
hope that can help others to fix the IntelHDA/realtek no sound dummy output issue on linux mint 19.
