Hello,

I have a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, and sadly, no sound. I've tried just about everything I've run across related to Intel sound/linux issues. Here are my specs, and below that, what I've tried thus far. Any help would be appreciated:

I have confirmed that my speakers are plugged into the right port, power is on, alsamixer is set to 100% for playback, sound preferences are all set to ALSA.

I've run the following:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

...and added the following line as I've seen suggested on many forums:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

I've also tried substituting 3stack with ALC882, and many other options. I save the file. I reboot. Nothing.

I also reinstalled all the packages related to ALSA.

Kernal

Can anyone tell me what I may be omitting and/or doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ottovox

I'm a relatively new user to linux and I also have no sound now that I updated to 8.10. Here is my info from lspci -vv

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi

This is what I found and it works for me
go to synaptic,settings,updates then open up back backport repo.
then install gnome-alsamixer and open gnome-alsamixer and adjust the settings

Hi John,

Thanks for the advice, but no luck.

I opened up Synaptic Package Manager/Settings/Repository/Updates - and selected backports. I updated the package list, installed the earlier gnome alsamixer. I also have the most recent version of alsamixer installed.

Again, I've made sure all playback faders are unmuted, and I've set the System/Preferences/Sound to autodetect (also tried all the other options as well to no avail). I have a dual boot, and sound on Windows works fine, so I know my speakers work.

Are you also using the ALC882? Was there anything else you did to get it to function?

Thanks...if anyone else has any advice, do tell. Been trying to solve this for about four days.

Cheers,
Ottovox

hi

I have the same hardware...
try this in your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m82

and restart you pc

if dont work, try all of this: http://pastebin.ca/1057656

xleqz,

Thanks for the suggestions...I opened /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and tried dell-m82 to no avail...then I tried every single one of these...

3stack D945 3stack
5stack D945 5stack + SPDIF
intel-mac-v1 Intel Mac Type 1
intel-mac-v2 Intel Mac Type 2
intel-mac-v3 Intel Mac Type 3
intel-mac-v4 Intel Mac Type 4
intel-mac-v5 Intel Mac Type 5
macmini Intel Mac Mini (equivalent with type 3)
macbook Intel Mac Book (eq. type 5)
macbook-pro-v1 Intel Mac Book Pro 1st generation (eq. type 3)
macbook-pro Intel Mac Book Pro 2nd generation (eq. type 3)
imac-intel Intel iMac (eq. type 2)
imac-intel-20 Intel iMac (newer version) (eq. type 3)
dell-d81 Dell (unknown)
dell-d82 Dell (unknown)
dell-m81 Dell (unknown)

...one at a time, rebooting after each change. Still no sound. I'm just about completely stumped.

The only thing I've added in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is the last line (in bold below)... Here's what the last several lines look like:

# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options bt87x index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options saa7134-alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2
options snd-usb-caiaq index=-2
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m82

Anyone see anything weird or wrong in there? Any other ideas?

Thanks again for the suggestions...

Hi !

I got a solution on my laptop Fujitsu with Ubuntu 8.10 :

sudo lspci -vv

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Fujitsu Siemens Computers Device 10ac
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 22
Region 0: Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

Solution :
$sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add that line :
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=fujitsu

save alsa-base, and do a :
$sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

restart your computer

open the Volume Control, and check Speaker in the Preferences, and put the Speaker volume at its maximum

That's working here !

After I installed Ubuntu 8.10, I encountered with the sound problem with my TV card. Line-In was not working properly. I solved this issue by downloading the latest alsa driver. I recommend you to try the same, maybe it helps. Following link describes the steps very clearly.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

Thank you Click !

I followed your link, have dowloaded and installed the new alsa-driver, lib and utils-1.0.18

I got only one warning after the alsa-driver make install :
"WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!!
**************************************************************************
You would use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume."

With :
$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Motorola Si3054
Codec: Realtek ALC880

I choose the "model=fujitsu"

and got no "azx_get_response timeout"... so no use of options "probe_mask=1 or 8"

In Volume Control, device is on "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)" and all speaker and headphone are working.

On the recording side, I can blow into my microphone and hear that blowing in my headphone... but I can't get or hear other sounds... funny thing !

I registered here so I could also help everybody in the community.
Ok, here we go, I have a DELL Notebook D520 with the 82801G (ICH7 Family) Audio Device. Finally I got the sound working. Did just like Kinerhod said with a few quirks.

Solution :
$sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add that line :
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=dell-m82

save alsa-base, and do a :
$sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

restart your computer

open the Volume Control, and check Speaker in the Preferences, and put the Speaker volume at its maximum.

Hope it helps.

Thank you John,
It works on me
I have RealTex ALC883
Good Luck for all especially ottovox
