No sound. please help (II)

Okay, the second was what you were using before, which is most like HDAudio. The first, likely AC97 is what I'd like you to try again, but we'll need to rename the ~/.asoundrc file first. You can do that in your File Manager or with this command:

Code: Select all

mv ~/.asoundrc ~/.asoundrc.bak

this one is with ac97.

the other one was azalia

Damn! Switching to AC97 has worked for a few users, but it's not helping here.

What I find odd though is the errors here:

Code: Select all

[   10.750609] snd_intel8x0 0000:00:1e.2: codec_ready: codec is not ready [0x8700000]
[   10.750767] snd_intel8x0: probe of 0000:00:1e.2 failed with error -5

But your sound card, when it appears, is different:

Code: Select all

!!PCI Soundcards installed in the system
!!--------------------------------------

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:27d8] (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation DeskTop Board D945GTP [8086:27d8]

I would not have though that would change from 00:1b.0 to 00:1e.2, but I don't get to see outputs once things start working usually, so this might be normal.

Go back to the other option in the BIOS then try this once booted up:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel

You might need to run pulseaudio -k after that.

Okay, all I have left is this:

Using the USB stick you used to install Mint with, run that and see if the sound works there. If it doesn't (and appears to be the exact same issue) make a USB version of Mint 19.2 and try that one. If either of them can be made to work, maybe we can still fix this. But if neither work, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas, other than a BIOS update possibly fixing this.

I reinstalled MINT. but no good news.
Wont Get BIOS updated, because it might break the motherboard.

planning to buy one of these instead
