Making Linux Mint 7 work even better!

<< < (2/14) > >>

Stefan Pynappels:
Ok,
Still in the Terminal, type in the following and press enter:

lspci

And copy and paste the output into a post here so i can have a look at that. I want to just see what the OS thinks the Soundcard is.

Stefan Pynappels:
Ok, did you see this gives a different Audio Controller? The Windows driver is a more generic driver, but now we know the exact model we are dealing with.
We also see that it is an Intel HDA controller (High Def Audio).
So now we are going to enable the default Intel HDA switch in ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture). That name is a lie, it is not Advanced, it is a major pain in the arse and has been ever since it was introduced.

In the terminal enter the following:

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

This will open the alsa-base.conf file in the Gedit text editor.

At the very end of that file, you need to add the following:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=asus

and then you need to save the file, just use the save button.

You will then need to reboot to allow the new settings to take effect.

Let me know how you get on.

Darren:
OK done that, no change sound wise.

I bow to your knowledge  :bow:, how a new user copes is beyond me? I guess that's where MS keeps the lead....

Checked the file, the changes are still there  :thumbup:

Stefan Pynappels:
Unfortunately this is still something of a problem with Linux, a lot is now plug and play but somethings still take some figuring.

Sorry bout that....

Have to go and do some more work, but will give you something else to try later if you still want to carry on.

Stefan.
