Acer Aspire 6920G Sound Card Solution for the #bug issue with Intel ICH 8 (Realtek 889) & Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
UPGRADE YOUR ALSA** 1.0.18a +
In the fist line i will try to explain what the commands do, and in the second line how to execute the command... Let's start...
*S.O.S Don't use in terminal the "" only the commands WithOUT the ""
1) Upgrade the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)) Drivers to the latest
a) Login as root by
" sudo -s "
b) To start the installation download this script at your home folder:
" http://www.box.net/shared/454ic17as0 "
c) This script will download the ALSA 1.0.18a drivers from the ALSA-PROJECT website and install them automatically.
After that your pc reboots, so don't do anything else...
" sudo chmod +x alsa_setup "
" sudo ./alsa_setup.sh "
d) After the reboot you have to download at Home directory the following file
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz
** if the site goes down google it with hda-verb-0.3xx
e) Login as root by
"sudo -s "
f) Brings up a text editor in SuperUser mode (which is necessary to edit system files)
" gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base "
g) Look for cluster of lines beginning with "options." If you have the line
" options snd-hda-intel model=default "
Change it to " options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire "
Save the file
h) Go at Home directory, right click and extract the file hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz
i) Now cd (change directory) to the hda-verb-0.3
" cd hda-verb "
j) compile the file with
" make "
k) Copy it at /usr/local/bin type
" sudo cp hda-verb /usr/local/bin "
l) Edit /etc/rc.local by typing
" gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local "
m) This will bring up your text editor again, this script is empty by default, for our purposes we must add this line before the
"exit line"
" /usr/local/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE 2 "
You're finally done, reboot your machine and you should have sound card working.
it works with 2.6.27-10-generic kernel and 2.24.1 Gnome
thanks to all people who helped me to make this easy for us.
so i want to thank personaly:
