ASUS 1015E-DS03 Sound does not work, Ubuntu


Hello,
I purchased a refurbished laptop that came with Ubuntu pre-installed thinking that it would run great out of the box. Well everything works BUT NO SOUND!!!


I go to the "Sound Settings" and nothing is shown in the "Play sound through" section, I have even tried plugging in my headphones but no sound is heard either.

Is there a driver or something that I can install to make this work??

here are the specs:

Netbook: ASUS 1015E-DS03
Soundcard: Intel pantherpoint HDMI
OS: Ubuntu 12.04LTS

I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide me with.

did you unmute the volume. default is muted. if not open a terminal ctrl alt T and type alsamixer and do it manually.
then type aplay -l and post it here. see what device should be defalt do not think hdmi should be.

Wonder why your read out is so different from mine.

It seams it is not loading all the modules for that card. only loding the HDMI part that is fine if your hooking up to a TV or other devices. But you want the analog in pulse make sure it is set to analog output device.
try this and re boot.

A simple way is to execute (as root or sudo )

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" > /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf
then reboot. this should force the modules to load.

in your terminal
lsmod | grep snd and paste it' it will look like this.

I seem to have the same problem on the exact same hardware. (Slackware 14.1)

Sound worked well before, but suddenly stopped working. I spend already a day trying to fix this.

Nothing of this seems to work:

Code:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

#options snd_hda_intel index=0
#options snd-hda-intel model=generic
#options snd-hda-intel-model index=1
#options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

#options snd-hda-intel model=auto index=0 probe_mask=8
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
Code:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-asus.conf 
blacklist asus_nb_wmi
#blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi

then I remove the /var/lib/alsa asound.state asound.state.lock
I also remove /home/~/.pulse folder
or it could be /home/~/.config/pulse.

when you reboot they all will be recreated.
alsa will read the modprobe.d and write a new asound.state.

pulse audio will read the asound.state. and set up to it.
now it will be up to you to make sure your setting are set up right.

Ok I went ahead and typed the command you told me to type and this is what I get:

read the last post I gave you the config just use it.
edit your /etc/modprobe.d//etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

to this.
Code:
options snd_hda_intel index=0
#options snd-hda-intel model=generic
#options snd-hda-intel-model index=1
#options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

options snd-hda-intel model=auto index=0 probe_mask=8
#options snd-hda-intel model=auto 
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-usb-audio
now your card 0 will be your analog snd-hda-intel
instead of HDMI.

all should be well.
make sure you remove them files and folders I told you to and reboot.
You have to understand I have the same system I boot into to test this out come.

if you still have this problem reinstall alsa and pulse audio.

I think editing the .conf files is a little bit too advance for me so I have updloaded it to this reply.

could you be kind enough to make the modifications to it that you suggested and then post it back with the modifications?


I added the .txt suffix just so that I would be able to upload it.


thanks

well then use the link I gave you.http://askubuntu.com/questions/16695...nges-permanent because it is putting your hdmi device in slot 0
and you want snd-hda-intel in slot 0.
you can search the forum here and look at the solved threads on the same problem.

Thanks for the help. I couldn't get it fixed.

I tried a few live cds and had the same problem. So I guess it's a hardware problem. (There goes ~6 hours trying to get this fixed)

Bluetooth headset works fine.
