Hi,
can you help me to get sound working in slackware 13.37. I'm member of audio group, sound modules seems to be loaded, channels unmuted but I have no sound.

ms-trex · 06-03-2012, 01:42 PM

the card should be supported in the alsa version shipped by slackware. maybe one of these will help, since in your case the hdmi-module uses snd-pcm, while the realtek-module doesn't:

Thanks but, nothing works for me.

Hi,

did it work before? on the same system? what did you change?

Did you check alsamixer? you can execute alsamixer on the commandline and configure your soundcard.

Never worked on slackware, but sound works on arch linux.

Don't take this the wrong way but I gotta ask: Speakers plugged in and turn on? This came up recently for some one on Ubuntu (Oh, I thought the speakers were inside the computer!).

kingbeowulf · 06-03-2012, 04:07 PM

ok, to be less of an ass, I also suggest the following: run

aplay -L

to see what sound device show up. Then run

speaker-test -c2 -twav

to see if the "default" channel works. If not, try the other channels listed by aplay to see which one get you sound, for example:

speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -twav

I used to have fits with some motherboard 5.1 audio chipsets with autosensing jacks flipping back and forth.

I connected external speakers and sound works, so why laptop speakers doesn't work?

I think you should check with alsamixer if the settings for the laptop speakers are correct. Could you please post a screenshot of your alsamixer-settings?

Today I turned on computer and sound works, LOL. I undo all changes I made yesterday, and sound still works. Everything works without .asoundrc, /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, snd-hda-intel.conf and such stupid files. This is madness, I don't know why my sound didn't work yesterday, and I don't know why the sound works today. This is sick!!!
