I'm afraid what I was hoping to try isn't going to work here. They did quite a big change to the subsystem from pre 5.3 kernel to the present. If that folder had only two files, we could have tried overwriting them, but they've split everything apart now, and I just have no idea where to look to solve this.

Two more things I'd like to look at in case it helps at all:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

Code: Select all

sudo dmesg | grep -C1 -E 'ALSA|HDA|sof|HDMI|snd[_-]|sound|hda.codec|hda.intel'

The first will ask if you want to save locally or upload. Please choose upload, then paste the URL it'll give you along with the second one's output.

MrEen,

Should I install a previous version of Mint ? Another Kernel?

[MrEen]

The one thing that might work is to install Mint 19.2, then run the commands in this post.

I'm afraid I cannot guarantee this will work, but it was the solution to this issue before the 5.3 kernel was available. Mint 19.2 comes with a (supported) 4.15 kernel, so I have some hope this will work.

[jalmeida]

Thanks MrEen

OK I'll give it a try.

[jalmeida]

MrKeen,

After install I have no input or output sound.

Executing your command, it returns the error:

What directory should I copy ?

[MrEen]

You ran the steps from a root terminal. Try again from a normal user terminal.

[jalmeida]

MrKeen,

The directory bytcr-rt5645 doesn't exist.
What directory should I copy ?

Best regards

[MrEen]

Ahh, it seems to have been removed. Let's see this one again please:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

There are a couple of similar options and I want to make sure we get the correct one.

[jalmeida]

Damn, they have a cht-bsw-rt5672 which is the right letters but the wrong numbers, and a chtrt5645 which is the opposite.

Give the second one a try. It should be extremely similar to what you need anyway, and if it doesn't help, it at least shouldn't hurt at all.

[jalmeida]

Thanks MrEen

Here's the output, but still no sound.

Let's see if anything has changed:

bash alsa-info.sh

That should be good enough instead of the full line above.

[jalmeida]

MrEen

I Installed Mint 20.1-Mate
and bought a USB Bluetooth dongle and a Bluetooth headset , the problem (for now) is solved.

In a future update, probably this INTEL chip will begin to work.

Thanks for your precious help.

[MrEen]

I believe it will eventually. The 5.3 kernel was supposed to fix this, and did for many. I can't figure out why some are still having the same issue, and now the old solution isn't even working for most.

If/when the urge strikes you, make a Live USB of Ubuntu 20.10 and see if the mic works there. If so, you can safely(ish) assume it will work when Mint 21 comes out next year.
