Slackware 14.0: Realtek ALC887-VD -> No Sound

MCDewy · 06-29-2013, 02:43 PM

Starting a new thread per Forums Rules.
1. Other thread not answered.
2. My issue, although on topic, would detract from efforts to fix the other gentleman's issue.
3. My hardware setup and issue is slightly different.
* Trying suggestions in the other thread also.

Code:

bash-4.2# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7f10000 irq 46

Code:

I performed the first step in the other thread:

Code:

~# touch /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf 
~# echo "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

It originally didn't work.

I noticed it had found a little USB Camera, (I couldn't get it to work in Windows 7, forgot it was plugged in). I removed that then restarted after the previous command it it appears to be working now.

Thanks guys!

Disregard Solved Status.

I had performed those steps logged in as root, (I don't know how to run File Manager or KEdit as root, and I was trying to modify files and it wouldn't let me as user).

Anyway, Logged back on as my user account and it can't find any sound cards now. sigh..

Per the other thread, I tried adding the following to /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Code:

options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel enable=0 index=1

I restarted, and still no change.

If I haven't said so already, I am new to linux. The following files were also in /etc/modprobe.d:

Code:

bash-4.2$ cd /etc/modprobe.d
bash-4.2$ ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 511 Jul  8  2012 README
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108 Jun 29 14:44 alsa-base.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  33 Jun 26 17:18 snd-hda-intel.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  43 Jun 29 15:15 sound.conf

Added:

Code:

options snd_hda_intel index=0 model=auto

To sound.conf (replaced the other line actually, rebooting to see.

And, nope. No sound still.

Following other thread still: I have...

Code:

bash-4.2# cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
cat: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf: No such file or directory

Code:

bash-4.2# aplay -l

I tried changing:

Code:

options snd_hda_intel index=0 model=auto

TO

options snd_hda_intel index=1 model=auto

In cound.conf with no change. I am lost now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
