amixer: Mixer load hw:0 error: Invalid argument -> Codec + Mixer: Realtek ALC887 - Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller 8086:27d8 (rev 01) - card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887 Analog [ALC887 Analog] - sound output not working on Gigabyte Motherboard GA-G31M-ES2C 2.4 in Ubuntu 10.10

Asked by JOB

My PC has no sound output, though the volume master is unmuted and acts as if the audio is playing normally; video also shows normally. I don't think it is a hardware problem because it used to work on Windows. (my PC is dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10). It also stopped working once in Windows but it worked after I had it formatted. Once againd it stopped working, but I don't want to format again so I'll ignore it for a while. I installed a sound card but still it doesn't work, thgouht the hardware seems to be recognized. (of course, the sound card is PCI while the slots on the motherboard are PCI Express. Not sure if this combination fails).

Spec:-
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-G31M-ES2C 2.4 (chipsets - G31 (north) and ICH7(south)).

I followed a former troubleshooting procedure and after running 'bash alsa.sh info' (or something like that) I got this result. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.

/sbin/alsactl: get_control:239: Cannot read control info '2,0,0,Front Playback Volume,0': Invalid argument

I'm not 100% sure if this solution works, but you can try it though:

Create a backup of the configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.bak

Open the file for editing:

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

Append the line of codes below on EOF:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Save and Close.

HTH.

This is a known issue with the ALC887 sound codec.

See the following bugreport for details:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/669092

Please run the following command in a Terminal:

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

REMOVE the following single line using the gedit editor , IF it was previously added:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

ADD the following single line using the gedit editor:

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

SAVE the change to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Then REBOOT and retest sound using headphones and speakers.

After rebooting, make sure all channels are UNMUTED and volume set to 100% in alsamixer and gnome-alsamixer

Thanks a lot Mark! It worked. Also Ian, I didn't try out your suggestion but thanks for trying to help anyway.

Now there is one very minor problem. When I want to open the sound preferences, it would say 'waiting for system to respond' but it never does. This thing started a while ago before I even posted on launchpad. What's the problem here? Is there a way I can solve this using the terminal, or do things like change sound volume?

Hi,

I was contemplating to reinstall ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 on top of the current one because synaptic is broken and so far resisted efforts to get fixed. Judging from the bug report above I'm guessing that the sound problem might reappear in 11.04. My question is, will applying the same solution in #2 above solve the problem in 11.04 if it arises (just in case 10.10 and 11.04 need different solutions)?
