Angry No sound ATI-SB450 KDE Slack 12


Hello,

First I'm starting to get discouraged by this stupidity! Thanks for reading I needed that relief. Long story short:

I have the following system installed, and I'm not able to get any sound out of the damn sound card. Also for a reason it seem that the process artsd is eating all of my system resources for a reason rendering my KDE system useless.

Slackware 12 with KDE
Linux kernel 2.6.21.5-smp
ALSA version (alsactl version 1.0.14)
Toshiba A100 (Celeron M 1.74Ghz)
Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)

Running ALSA installer seem to be ok, since it discover the correct card
I HAVE NOT compiled anything related to OSS (Open Sound System). I have added this line in my /etc/modprobe.d/sound
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=8 model=auto
With no success (others are experiencing issues with Ubuntu 7.04)

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It seems that many people are struggling with the HDA ATI or INTEL sound card/chip. Especially laptop users seem to have different problems. Hearing no sound from their speakers but only with their headphones. Or the other way around, no jack sensitivity or only hearing sound from their headphones and not trough the speakers. And, of course the worst kind, not having any sound at all.

Many forums are giving the 3stack of 6stack solution which (partially) works for some people.
(Changing or adding the following sentence: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack ) into the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file.

But the HDA soundcards seem to be complexer than that. There are a lot of different HDA cards with their own set of "rules" To tackle this problem, you have to find out what type of card is in your computer. you can check that by typing: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec (or if that fails : aplay -l )
The output will contain the exact type your your card or chip. For example: "Code:ALC861VD/660VD"

Now that you know this, you can look up that type in the list posted below:

As you can see, every type / chipset has several possibilities. Type the first word from the list in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or (if that one does not exist) /etc/modprobe.conf Just try them until you've found the right match. ( you can edit these files with your favourite text editor, for example: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.conf )

For example: If cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec or : aplay -l return "Realtek ALC260" , Look under "ALC260" in the list and add the following line in your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or (if that one does not exist or is empty) /etc/modprobe.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=hp

Reboot and check if your sound if working. Do not forget to check your mixer to see if (new) channels are muted. If that one doesn't work or partially works, try another one in the list eg:
options snd-hda-intel model=base
options snd-hda-intel model=will
or
options snd-hda-intel model=acer

That's all there is to it! I hope this forum post will help you as good as the info, gathered on the internet by me, in combination with days/weeks/months of testing and searching by me. I would like to know this this post solved your problems. Please let me know by posting your result in this thread. Thank you for your time, good luck and enjoy your sound!
