Using Mandriva 2007.1 on Toshiba Satellite Laptop

[Guest Gh0st]

Now, I've seen this topic posted around a few times, but I haven't found an answer.

 

I'm sure you know the problem:

 

When playing anything with sound, no sound is exerted from the internal speakers of my laptop.

However, when external speakers or headphones are plugged in to the headphone jack (in front, for that matter), I get sound.

 

According to Mandriva Control Center, under the Hardware Tab and the Configure Hardware Section:

 

Identification
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc

Description: SB450 HDA Audio

Media class: Audio device

Connection
Bus: PCI

Bus PCI #: 0

PCI device #: 20

PCI function #: 2

Vendor ID: 0x1002

Device ID: 0x437b

Sub vendor ID: 0x1179

Sub device ID: 0xff31

Driver
Module: snd-hda-intel

 

And, when I run the 'lspci' command:

-Snip--
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
--Snip--

 

Hope that information helps.

 

Any suggestions?

I had this problem on my Toshiba Tecra. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and make sure you have two lines that look like this. If you have some similar, edit them so that they look like this:

 

options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=basic

 

and that should do the trick.

 

Also, please give people time to respond. Whilst 20 people might have read, they may not know how to fix the problem because they haven't experienced it like I had.

[Guest Gh0st]

Um...How do I edit that?

(Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm a Linux newbie. Mandriva is my first Linux Distro.)

 

And, yes, I understand. But, I appreciate you helping.

[Guest Gh0st]

Ok, I found the file and opened it. But, I'm not so sure what to do.

Here's what I have.

 

alias eth0 8139too
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true
remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
remove unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove unknown
install unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install unknown
remove snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-atiixp
install snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-atiixp

Still having this problem.

ianw1974 wants you to edit your file and add the line he has posted.

 

You will need root privileges to edit this file. From a terminal window type "kdesu kwrite". This will open a notepad like program called kwrite as root, allowing you access to the file /etc/modprobe.conf for editing.

Well, I added the line at the bottom of the file and saved it.

 

But, it didn't fix it.

You might just need to change the model. You could try:

 

options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=auto

 

All the available model options can be seen here. from line 707.

[Guest Gh0st]

Ok.

What I don't know is:

Am I supposed to just add the line?

Or substitute it in for something or what?

It's two lines, Ian must have forgotten one. According to his other post, you should add them to your /etc/modprobe.conf like this

 

Edit: Removed .conf file because it was wrong. Please see next post.

Nope didn't forget the other one. I think I said locate a line that is similar to the one I have and make sure you edit it to look like mine. Not add the line, since you'd then have a duplicate ;)

 

For some reason I did write two lines, don't know why, but you only need the one I posted. You edit the existing one so it looks like the new one.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

I don't know if this will help you at all. But one of my computers suffers a simmilar problem. It's a Gateway 7510GX and to get sound out of the internal speakers I have to go to "switches" tab in kmix and turn off External Ampliphier.
