configuring sound card on laptop running slack 64

g_paschoal · 10-16-2009, 01:56 PM

Hi Guys,

I have a HP dv6000 laptop and I installed a 64bits slackware version.

Everything seems to be working fine, video, network devices, but I can't configure the sound.

Anybody has any tuturial I can follow? I already tried some that I found online but doesnt work.

It appears to be already setup but when I try to play something it doesnt.

Thanks a lot

Run this in the terminal as root:

Code:

alsamixer

See if master, pcm, and front are muted (have MM in a box). If they are, unmute by entering m on each box. If that works, run:

Code:

alsactl store

below are the audio modules I have on my system.

I don't know what else to do. Does anybody have any clue?

Thanks

Also the sound file

[CODE][root@elements:/etc/modprobe.d# cat sound
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
root@elements:/etc/modprobe.d#
/CODE]

Anybody?

Pls guys...

someone please help me here?

Hi,

Bumping doesn't always help!

You can look at '/usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt' for;

Code:

excerpt;
Module snd-hda-intel
  --------------------

    Module for Intel HD Audio (ICH6, ICH6M, ESB2, ICH7, ICH8, ICH9, ICH10,
                        PCH, SCH),
                ATI SB450, SB600, R600, RS600, RS690, RS780, RV610, RV620,
                        RV630, RV635, RV670, RV770,
                VIA VT8251/VT8237A,
                SIS966, ULI M5461

    [Multiple options for each card instance]

Read the text to see if you can pass information for your sound. Plus you can always search for the topic here on LQ.

Hi,

One other thing concerning HD-Audio. You should look at '/usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt'.
