No volume.

Asked by Ben Barlow

When I Updated to 11.04 I lost all volume. I have played around with the terminal following instruction of others who had the same problem, but found no joy in the 'fixes' that helped other people. Has anyone else had this issue?

Check in Sound settings, make sure the correct sound device is in use. Also run:

alsamixer

and make sure all levels are cranked and unmuted

I made sure all the levels were at the max, and unmuted. Still nothing.

Did you check the sound prefs?

Try adding:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

To /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Reboot to test

When I type {options snd-hda-intel model=auto} into the Terminal it tells me options: command not found.

 I am new to using Linux, and even newer to any programming that comes with altering lines of data.

I never said to run it in a terminal, READ what I wrote...

My apologies.. I am not sure as to how to do what you wrote then.

Press CTRL+ALT+T

in the terminal paste:

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

Add the line:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Save the new file, close gedit and reboot

I did this, still no volume. I went into alsamixer and found certain things muted, when I unmuted them still nothing.

Is there a specific place I am supposed to put "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" as I put it with the other 'options'

The bottom is good, so it doesnt get lost if you need to remove it, the position is not relevant. Try:

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

Instead, or try:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

You should only have ONE model line in the file, so edit the line with the next suggestion and DON'T simply add it

Can you help with this problem?
