Unable to install intel onboard soundcard using ALSA

spariggio82 · 09-21-2005, 01:26 PM

Hi to all

I've Installed Knoppix 3.9 on my laptop and most of the things goes fine.

However when I try to configure my soundcard I get some trouble

My soundcard is an intel ICH6 family

exactly from lspci I obtain this:

Code:

0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)

I've tried to configure it using alsaconf. But even if I've installed the latest version from alsa site and even if alsa initially show it when I try to configure here's what I obtain:

Code:

Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
Setting up ALSA...done (not loaded).
Setting default volumes...
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1163: No soundcards found...

What can I do???

Thanks in advance for your help

What motherboard do you have ?

Also what kernel do you use ?

The majority of ICH6 have azalia high definition codec (Realtec or Cmedia chipset).
If that is the case then the module is "snd-hda-intel"

If you run "modprobe snd-hda-intel" then it should work
I believe it was included in 2.6.12 kernel.

It should be realtek chipset. However when I run modprobe snd-hda-intel here's what I have for answer:
