No sound? intel-HDA

Hey,

There are lots of compatibility problems with these cards as there are sooo many variations.

Here's how to get it working ;) First lets find out what variation of card you have.

Code:

aplay -l

My output is as follows ..

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: INTEL HDMI [INTEL HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Ok now you can see what variation of card you have lets set it up ..

See the following link for the configurations available .

Either take a look at ..

/usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt

Or use the link below

Linux Kernel Documentation :: sound : alsa : HD-Audio-Models.txt

Find the available configurations for your card. For example Mine is STAC92xx so I look for my card.

Once you have found your card, lets add the model to alsa's configuration file.

cd over to /etc/modprobe.d and check the directory for the alsa configuration file. I've seen several variations for eg "alsa-base.conf, sound.conf,sound".

Once you've found your config file you can add the model option .

for eg ...

Code:

options snd-hda-intel model=YOUR_MODEL alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

and reboot.

Still no sound ?? Try another configuration :D I know this cam be a pain in the bum but if you want sound keep going.
