Hi to everybody. I've installed debian lenny 64bit on my laptop (acer aspire 5920) everything works except sound.

My soud card is Intel 82801HBM ICH8M and the output of lspci -v command is:

Code:

...
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)                                                                               
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Aspire 5920G

...

and output of apaly -l command is:

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I've isntalled the last alsa drivers and settled volume with alsamixer but anyway soud doesn't work! Can anybody help me?

output of lsmod | grep snd please..

Are you sure you are plugged into the correct audio jack on the sound card ?
Have to ask, theres so many audio jacks back there these days, I'd hate to spend a
ton of time trying to troubleshoot something then find out I had just plugged the
speakers into the wrong port. (yes I've done it before).

where did you install the alsa drivers from ? aptitude or synaptic ? or did you compile them yourself...

dante_des · 10-21-2008, 03:01 PM

First of all i've compiled alsa driver from source code together with alsa-utils, alsa-lib, alsa-firmware and alsa-tool.

About your first question i didn't get it, "you are plugged into the correct audio jack on the sound card", what does it mean?
Sorry for my unknowing!

Hi farslayer,

I have the same problem. This is my output of it:

lsmod | grep snd:

soundcore 6368 1 snd

What can I do then to make it working?

doncarlos · 08-19-2009, 09:05 AM

PS.

1. I compiled the alsa driver manually installing kernel source prior to compiling a driver.

2. I doublechecked the right audio-hole 10 times! I'm running windows at the same computer and it works.
