You can simply create it, and actually, call it whatever you like, i.e. 'alsa-config' or 'alsa.conf' or 'sound' or whatever suits you and is meaningful for you.

thanks alot for all these replies
it works now fine

Please excuse me for butting in here, but after creating the file, I think it must be saved or copied as '/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf'.

Cheers,
Terry

yes it doesn't exist! just create it!

just create it! it doesn't exist! do if using gnome or if using kde (as root) and add this line. save and exit! restart alsa and there you are! make sure you have installed alsa and if not do as root always. hope that helps!

I alsa (he he) have a problem with Fedora11/Pulseaudio. I was running fine with Fedora10 for a couple of months when F11 became stable and I let the auto-upgrade happen. All works fine except that anything I play is just a bit too fast -not chipmunk fast, more like 43000 Hz sample rate played at 48000 Hz. My clock runs fine, so it's not a universal timing problem, probably just a bad sound card parameter. I couldn't find any of the old alsa controls or conf files that I had become accustomed to, so I can't experiment with settings that I can't find. I can't sit at a keyboard without some tunes playing. Arrrrgh!!! After I discovered this thread, which introduced me to Pulseaudio, I did a lot of research on it but still can't solve my problem. F10 identified and used my old onboard sound card properly (SIS AC'97); F11 tells me I have a Pulseaudio sound card.That's as far as I got. Does anyone have a suggestion? -Thanks.

i have the same problem! under suse you can change to (or something like that) but fedora's alsa doesn't seem to support it (at least not untill 2 weeks ago when i tested it)...

just tested it and still doesn't work...

I have the same problem,can you please tell me how did u do it?

that is what i did

hum!
model=hp-hdx worked for me, I just had to mute Analog Loopback and Analog Loopback 2 (I am using KDE4, I did that with Kmix) I think anyone should check that to see if it works or not.
But the problem I still have is that sound works only with headphones but not with my laptop speakers (volume control configuration profile is Output Analog Stereo + Input Analog Stereo) I tried all audio profiles but no one works with my speakers.

Neo31, MY GOSH, THANK YOU!!! I have been struggling w/ this for hours and simply checking two checkboxes was the fix. WOW!!

^^ good for ya forrestt but I still have that problem with the speakers, tell me please if yours works well or if you just use the headphones?

Hi, just to inform everybody that adding:
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4
to the file:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
solved my problem related to the missing audio from speaker but working on headphones.
Thanks buddy.

congratz flashback,
I solved my speakers sound but I forgot how i did it I (sry for that), but anyway I posted already how I solved my sound driver and how to make it work on KDE already
