Codec + Mixer: IDT 92HD75B3X5 - STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383] - No sound from speakers or either of 2 independent headphone jacks on HP Pavilion Dv6 Entertainment PC

Asked by eddiewebb

Where to start;
- I have read and tried numerous threads with similar issues, those using STAC92xx hardware and no solution has worked.
- I have updated alsa and edited alsa-base.conf with every model listed for my device
- I think the number of audio ports, or the current state of alsa-conf may be to blame.

With that I have included the output from Mark Rijckenberg's 12 steps to Alsa sound
(found https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/75353 and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/79688)

7) Just Ubuntu

8) All channels maxed out - no sound

** I don't know what its worth, but I have 'switches' with the following options

IEC958
IEC958 Default PCM
Analog Loopback
Analog Loopbaxk1

I have tried every combination being checked to no avail.

9) Member of all 5 groups

10) No sound theme
----
11) No jacks or speakers produce sound
----
12) Only one sound card (though it offers analog and HDMI)

=================================

As I mentioned before my alsa-base.conf is much more convaluted than my SuSE install was (which only had 3 lines and sound worked -- I think an 'install' line, a 'options' line and an 'alias' line. all three referencing snd-hda-intel and using model hp-m4)

Full alsa-base.conf

At this point I am willing to try anything. If you think rattling a dried gourd and chanting penny lane backwards will help I will give it a shot,

Thanks to all!

Hi,

Please try this solution:

"Re: No sound

Postby bluesman99 on Tue Aug 04, 2009 12:00 pm

Hope this will help with the 9.04 sound problem.

I got sound working on an Intel Corporation 82801I chip on hp dv3-2157cl with these 3 steps

1. Install as usual, and do all the updates to kernel 2.6.28.15

2. Install Alsa version 1.0.20 from this forum:

http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/05/09/upgrade-alsa-1020-on-ubuntu-jaunty-904/

3. Reboot your pc

4. Open a terminal and edit alsa-base.conf as follows:

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

When the file is open add the following 3 lines to the end of the file after "options snd-pcsp index=-2"

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 enable_msi=1

Save/close and reboot

The volume is a little low, but sound works. I pegged out all the sliders.

If anyone has a suggestion for increasing the volume, please post.

Turns out my volume is fine. I was using a low volume test file!"

This will probably only give sound through the laptop speakers, but not via the headphones. Still, better than no sound at all.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mark

Woohoo!!!

I didn't mess with alsa-base, cause as I mentioned the lines I used worked under my last SuSE install.

(

options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

)

I did update alsa though. Turns out I had incompatible versions of the driver and utils.

An update across the board to 1.20 did the trick!

Thanks Mark,
I am having Comqaq 510 with Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit running on my laptop. I faced the same problem and with your post I was able to solve the problem. I follow the each step which you describe here. Where eddiewebb code didn't work with my configuration. One more thing I didn't updated alsa. As I am using the default with comes with ubuntu. Sound on my headphone speaker is good but not able to get sound on Laptop out speaker.
If anybody solve this problem then please update this post.
