ALSA Audio Driverlinux mint helena

Hi

Are you following the guides in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
Usually the page helps guide you through but hopefully Mark or someone might be able to help better
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

@John: Please try this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following command (copy/paste command into the Terminal
and then hit <enter>)

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

In gedit, scroll down and ADD this line to the end of the
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file:

options snd-hda-intel model=acer-dmic

In the same file, REMOVE the following line:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

Then save the change to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file.

Make sure to delete the following file if it exists:

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

You can delete it with this command:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

I do not see how to proceed. Not having that I will fall back in bed for a bit.

@ken78724 : gedit is the name of the editor you are using to edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

See here for more info about gedit:

@ken78724 : please create a separate thread for your sound issue using this link:

Marco, Keep me posted on this. I've not benefited from prior advice; on my
Mirus PC 10.04 LTS, where I run the low latency kernel, alsa remains
non-functional. On this Acer laptop 10.04 Lucid, I have sound. more later.

Ken you are linked with the best answering man on audio trouble here: Mark Rijckenberg so please follow him future instructions or requests.

Hi Ken

I usually disagree with blindly taking advice offered by so-called experts in forums however in this instance you have a top sound man advising you to follow a trouble-shooting procedure and give us feedback on outputs generated. Trouble-shooting does not always directly solve the problem in the same way that seeing an goal-net does not always mean the same thing as scoring a goal. However until we can see where the goal-net is it will be difficult to score.

Alsa = Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
The file "alsa-base.conf" as with most ".conf" files is a text-based configuration file which means you can edit it in a standard text-editor, such as gedit or kate or sciTe or vi or something. If you are using Kubuntu then the default text-editor is "kate" if you are using Xubuntu, errr i can't remember which one Xubuntu uses sorry. In either case just replace the word "gedit" in the command with the text-editor that is easier for you to use. Some of us carefully install our favourite text-editor rather than relying on the default one all the time. In linux you get choices

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)

Please post this as a new question
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+addquestion

I think it should be easy enough to fix but i still don't know much about sound. My approach would be to simply reinstall Alsa or/and PulseAudio. 'Just' look in "Synaptic Package Manager"
System - Administration - Synaptic
or in "Sotware Centre"
Applications - "Software Centre"
as either/both should be able to find what you need easily enough.

With Synaptic you could also try its "Edit" menu to "Repair broken packages"
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

PS editing the original question in a thread (as you have just done with this one) rather than just adding a comment at the end really messes the thread up in Launchpad.
