scarecrow Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Intel 82801G HDA can use several different codecs. Can you be more specific? (mainboard, or laptop model, for example). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) 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? Edited March 3, 2009 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 in a ROOT console?To clarify. You need to start up your konsole/terminal, via your menu in the Tools section or by doing Alt & F2 then type: konsole. Once your konsole/terminal is running type: su press enter then enter your root password and press enter. Now run the command that scarecrow posted.

dinsmorem Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 the mixer setting all are set correctly.under drivers it shows "snd_hda_intel [alsa]" no sound out of the headphones 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 no...its no sound from speakers or headphones. i am currently at work. i will get you the console output when i get home. Would you also include the output of grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf and arecord -l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Do you have a volume control on the laptop? I have this on my Tosh laptop, and I have to use this to increase/decrease the volume, as well as being able to do it with the software. Once I had the volume on max (software) but couldn't hear anything, and it was because I hadn't increased it using the hardware switch on the laptop. It might not be this, since if you had sound working before, it could well be something to do with hda_intel for your card. I also found this: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1488 and check this, since it also has instructions on what to do: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php...ix:Vendor-Intel it also might help.

speedball2 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
