Asked by Isaac N. Yamoah

Ubuntu has recognised the sound card but no sound can be heard. Also, anytime I try playing any music, it asks for codes.

Hi, sorry no-one has got back to you. there have been a lot of questions lately. There is an excellent page for debugging sound problems
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems

Also please try looking up other recent Questions about sound as some may have been similar enough to help (or at least the answers broad enough to help)

Good luck and happy hunting
Regards from

Hi,

Please look at

http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda (check for right /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options at bottom of this page)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

for more suggestions.

Please also follow this procedure:

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

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

cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
aplay -l
lspci -nn
lsmod | grep snd
uname -a

Step 3: Post results (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if possible) on this thread

Step 5: You should write the following string in '/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' file
Code:

options snd-hda-intel model=YOUR_MODEL

Valid model names (that replace YOUR_MODEL) depending on the codec chip can be found at http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

If you do not know your codec chip name, you can execute

cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec

Step 6: Make sure to set all channels to high volume levels in alsamixer EXCEPT for "external amplifier".

Regards,

Mark
