Mint 7- HP Mini 1000 NO AUDIO
Hi I just did a fresh install of Linux Mint 7 KDE "Gloria" onto a HP Mini 1000 everything works great except I have no audio even on the system level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Read all post.
Or just search for your Laptop Mod
More than likely you Will have to modify the file ( root/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ) On most laptops I have installed to, the sound driver is not configured to work with the hardware, but with modification it will work in most cases.
1) For the excact modification for your laptop, try searching ubuntu fourms ( http://ubuntuforums.org/ ) with your laptop #, make & model as well as " No Sound " in the search line. Ex: TOSHIBA TECRA No Sound or Ex: Hp Pavilion dv4 - 1275 no sound
2)If You Find multiple or similar results for your laptop , try to narrow the results by model# or Hardware Specs. I would suggest reading all that apply before making any changes to your ALSA Base.If you can, make a copy of your alsa base & save it to your Docs, In case you mess up.
3) Not every mod to the alsa base works for every type of hardware, if you find an excact match it is best, but if you can't , use the closest results. Read the Entire section Before you Modify your ALSA Base & back up if possible .
If The Mod Fails you can read the " Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide " found here ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... A+No+Sound )
Hope this points you in the right direction,

Re: Mint 7- HP Mini 1000 NO AUDIO
I am a little confused by all this ALSA stuff and working off a different distros forum is making it even more difficult, I am following this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 In the sections titled HDA Sound Chips it tells me to navigate to the file:
/user/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.tar.gz
I have that folder up to alsa-base then it's one file, alsa.default, is this just named differently in Mint than Ubuntu or am I missing something?

You wrote "/user/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.tar.gz "
I think there may be a mistake somewhere after the ALSA quote, it is telling you relevantly were to go & not exactly.
In my past exp you can find the file by these commands exactly=
For Cmd Line - ALT + F2 Keys
For KDE = sudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
For GNOME =
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
then you can mod your ALSA, with the recommended mod , save, & reboot your system to take effect.
Hope this helps,
