i have follow the instruction tu active my sound device with command:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

but still doesn't work...
my laptop still mute and i cant playing music more than 1 months,,
please help me, does anything is false in my configuration??
ore something's wrong with my alsa
i use the default kernel on slackware 13

uname -a
Linux constantine 2.6.29.6-smp #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 00:52:54 CDT 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

thank you....

Well, using an updated alsa makes it harder to help you, but if it doesn't work 'out of the box' with an updated alsa it could mean that alsa is passing the wrong options to the snd-hda-intel module based on what it *thinks* the card is supposed to use. I found this page with possible options to the snd-hda-intel module (edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound in Slackware). Other possible options to pass to the snd-hda-intel module are listed in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt, with model options in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt.

thanks mr t3slider,,

i have read the,
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

and also

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt

and follow the instruction to give:
enable_msi=1
and also
model=hp-m4
according to my sound devices..

but it's still doesnt work..
hmm,, im confused..

it has been so long, i can hear a voice in my notebook....

thanks to mr t3slider,,


i have read the link u gave me...
and now my notebook is singging again...

thank you..


this is my /etc/modprobe.d/sound configuration now:

options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1


and i laso make some customization on /etc/group

audio:x:29:root,light,aqua,pulse

thank you...

I have the same notebook, and the sound also doesn't work for me.
I'm using slackware 13 too

I've done exactly the same thing that did in your last post, but no success.

have you done something more?

thank you

and make sure that your configuration is correct..

give me your cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound here please....
