Sony VGN-AR760 low volume problem
I have been trying to get the volume to actually work at a descent level. Basically anything below half volume is silent on the internal speakers.
When I run this:
Code:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
I get:
Code:
Codec: SigmaTel CXD9872AKD
Codec: Conexant ID 2c06
Codec: Realtek ALC262
So, I've been trying by adding this line:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=basic
to my alsa-base, I've also tried sony, vaio, auto, and several others. None seemed to affect the sound.
I've tried installing them gnome-alsamixer and playing with the controls there, but it didn't help.
Does anything have any thoughts that will allow me to run my laptop at a descent volume.
Thanks,
Douglas

So for my VGN-T2XP/S ... Same problem ...
Re: Sony VGN-AR760 low volume problem
Which sound card do you have? Same one?
Re: Sony VGN-AR760 low volume problem
Got a solution for my problem ... Would bet that this also fits for your VAIO:
- Enter gnome volume control panel (alsa mixer)
- Enter the "Edit / Settings..." or similar menu (got the German translation ;) )
- Activate the "External Amplifier" track to be visible
- Under the "Switches" tab you now should be able to disable the check on "External Amplifier"
- Enjoy the sound ..! :grin:

How exactly are you getting to the gnome volume control panel? Just by double clicking on the volume icon? If so, I don't have an "External Amplifer" track.
I have:
Master
Headphone
PCM
Front
Front Mic
Front Mic Boost
Line-In
CD
Microphone
Mic Boost
Mono
Capture
Capture 1
Capture 2
Digital

Re: Sony VGN-AR760 low volume problem
yeah, that's just this mixer application.
what you could try is to activate all tracks and see if you find then an "External Amplifier" checkbox in the Switches tab.
Re: Sony VGN-AR760 low volume problem
I enabled all of them, no "Switches" tab appeared...

What's the hardware you've got built in?
You can find out with
aplay -l
I added a
options snd-hda-intel model=IEC958
option in my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as mine has got a Intel 82801DB-ICH4 chipset. To be honest I'm not sure if this was a right setting or changed anything ... But it might worth a try.
Then you've to restart ALSA with
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Maybe this helps further and you get a bigger set of track controls ??
