ALC861VD analog codec chip gives no sound in headphones in Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 9.04 alpha

Asked by Greg Sanchez

I just installed intrepid on my Emachines alongside windows vista home premium. Everything installed fine and all the applications work great, except i don't have any sound from speakers (analog) or headphones (usb). ive tried a lot of the answers on this site and i still cant fix it. this is the third time I installed ubuntu. any ideas guys?

I had a similar problem and managed to sort it out. Please see the FAQ's

Also try this:-
Is sound muted - if so turn it on

open the sound Volume Control and mute the Head Phones - this worked for me.
you could also try muting other devices

good luck

no nothing is muted. its weird cause ive tried 8.10, 8.04, and 8.10 64 bit, and i cant get a bit of sound. im beginning to think its my sound card and mobo, but i dont want to believe it. ive gone through a ton of packages and apps and checked the muting thing constantly. ive also deleted pulseaudio, reinstalled it, and fresh installed it from a new install of 8.10.

does anyone think it has to do with vista running alongside?

help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Please look at

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

for some initial 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>)

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

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 add the following string to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file

options snd-hda-intel model=YOUR_MODEL

Valid model names (that replace YOUR_MODEL) depending on the codec chip, can be found at

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

If you do not know your codec chip name, you can execute the following Terminal command to find out:

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

Hi Greg,

The ./configure command was not found, because you did not go into the right alsa-driver directory, where the configure script is located.

Please open a terminal and enter the following commands to enter the alsa-driver directory and continue with the compilation:

cd /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver
sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes
sudo make
sudo make install

Regards,

Mark

UPDATE: i just installed ubuntu 9.04 alpha and my sound works fine on speakers.
dont know why, just the way it is. the problem now is that when i put my headset in,(usb), i get no sound, even when i change the sound settings to USB device.

seems strange that the alpha would work better than the last final version.

anyway, if anyone can help me with my headset problem that would be great.

Hi,

# Open a terminal and enter the following command:

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

# Add the following line at the end of the alsa-base file and save the change:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

# Open a terminal and enter the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

# Add the following line at the end of the options file and save the change:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

Reboot pc and retest headphones.

Here are the other possible "model" options for the ALC861VD. You might need to experiment with these model options to find one that makes both speakers and headphones work.

ALC861VD/660VD
3stack 3-jack
3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF OUT
6stack-dig 6-jack with SPDIF OUT
3stack-660 3-jack (for ALC660VD)
3stack-660-digout 3-jack with SPDIF OUT (for ALC660VD)
lenovo Lenovo 3000 C200
dallas Dallas laptops
hp HP TX1000
