No sound. please help

[Mihail]

You are not following the steps I'm asking you to do. You still have these active:

Code: Select all

snd_hda_intel: model=generic
snd_hda_intel: dmic_detect=0

You also have PipeWire running, which isn't implemented in Mint, so I have no experience with it.

You might have better luck on the Ubuntu forum.

To get back to where things stood before running that last command, you can undo it with this and a reboot:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/probe-fix.conf

Done. Now, do I have to pasre the output of the previous command again?

[MrEen]

That depends. If you want help here, I can try, but did you you remove the two things I asked about? Specifically, these:

Code: Select all

snd_hda_intel: model=generic
snd_hda_intel: dmic_detect=0

Those are changes you added to a file or files in /etc/modprobe.d that each make some pretty big changes to the system that make it much more difficult or even impossible to find where the issue lies.

If you need help removing those changes paste the output of these commands:

Code: Select all

grep generic /etc/modprobe.d/*

Code: Select all

grep dmic /etc/modprobe.d/*

If those changes have already been undone, then paste the the output of this one again:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999

[Mihail]

If you need help removing those changes paste the output of these commands:

Code: Select all

grep generic /etc/modprobe.d/*

Code: Select all

grep dmic /etc/modprobe.d/*

Here it is:

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:# Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:options snd-hda-intel model=generic

And the second one:

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0

[MrEen]

Okay, in the terminal run xed admin:///etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and when the file opens remove these two lines:

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:options snd-hda-intel model=generic
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0

Then reboot and run this command again and paste the URL:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999

Oh crap, you're not using Mint. You'll need to find the proper way to open the file for editing for your OS. Maybe sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf would work.

I couldn't find the lines you asked me to remove (maybe it's because I reinstalled the system entirely recently, so all files got deleted?)

[Mihail]

Then reboot and run this command again and paste the URL:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999

I'll assume I don't have the files because of the re-installation of linux.
Here's the output of the command you asked priviously

Code: Select all
