first...thanks I found it!! now it says I am not allowed to change the "modprobe.conf" file. now what do I do?

thanks,

I can't find a "modprobe.conf" file. I click "root" then "etc" then there is "modprobed" or "modprobe.preload.d" and thats my choices. thank you

You can try toshiba (picked that one because it looked promising), reboot and see if it works. If not, try another one. Just put it on a new line at the bottom of modprobe.conf. You'll need to be root to edit that file.

have you had a chance to look my info over? what do you think needs to be done to fix this problem? thank you

As suggested options can be passed to the snd_hda_intel module. Thought a list of them all might come in handy.

 

Add a line like:

 

options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba <-- your correct model goes here :)

 

to your /etc/modprobe.conf file.

okay....you say put in my correct model. do i keep the word toshiba there or not? also where do i place the line....at the bottom of the existing lines? sorry to be a pest but this is all new to me. thank you

Would you also include the output of

grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf

and

arecord -l

[root@localhost mike]# grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf

alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel

[root@localhost mike]#

[root@localhost mike]# arecord -l

hope this helps....thank you,

No, it's almost sure you won't need a kernel upgrade to fix this. You may need to blacklist the pc-speaker module, or pass certain switches to your snd-hda-intel sound module, but it's almost certain that no kernel upgrade is needed.

What do you get if you give

lsmod  | grep snd

in a ROOT console?

hope this is the info you needed. thank you

If it's just the headphones you have a problem with, then it's "simply" a matter of passing the correct model argument to the snd-hda-intel driver. The two most probable candidates for your laptop are either "3stack" or "fujitsu" (and yes, I know you do NOT have a Fujitsu laptop...). But better, before making any suggestions, give us the console output of the above command.

no...its no sound from speakers or headphones. i am currently at work. i will get you the console output when i get home. thank you

Have you checked your mixer settings? Have you checked if the drivers are installed under Mandriva Control Centre--> Hardware? Do you get sound out of the headphone socket?

the mixer setting all are set correctly.

under drivers it shows "snd_hda_intel [alsa]"

no sound out of the headphones

Intel 82801G HDA can use several different codecs. Can you be more specific? (mainboard, or laptop model, for example).

do you think you will able to help me? elsewhere I saw people being advised to install a new kernel to correct this type of problem. is that what I should do?

first off I'm a newbie to Mandriva. I got sick of Vista , wiped it out and installed Mandriva 2009. everything is great except no sound. so please can someone help me? as I said I am a newbie so any instructions provided will have to be written for an idiot. i will need step-by-step instructions. any and all help is greatly appreciated. thank you.
