hi everyone

i´ve installed Slackware 13.0 v64 in a new laptop. The problem is that
i still have no sound.

I opened a terminal and made alsaconf. it recognised the sound card,
and after that i also opened alsamixer, but i can´t get the sound
working.

the result of lspci was :


root(a)darkstar:~# lspci

and also :

root(a)darkstar:~# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfe9f4000 irq 22


so, as far as i see, the sound card is recognised in lspci and when i
select it in the alsaconf command.

does someone have an idea of what is wrong in my procedure ?

Thanks in advance

You need to log into the root account, then run alsamixer. Set the
sound levels to what you want (some things may need to be un-muted), and
then press <Esc> to exit. Run the command "alsactl store" to save those
settings. You should now have the file /etc/asound.state.

Check that the following lines appear in the following files.

/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf :

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf :

options snd-card-0 index=0

If all else fails, I had to edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound to include :
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
under Slackware 12.2. My soundcard is a different version :
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
so I couldn't say if the same applies to yours. I've only used mine for
headphones, seems to work fine in that capacity.

There's also a model= parameter for snd-hda-intel, for example, for
this machine I have to set model=acer-aspire to get acceptable volume
levels on playback. You'll probably need to google to find what the
various possible values for model are.
