HDA ATI SB / INTEL Sound card problem [SOLUTION!]

[Donny K.]

Hi people,

It seems that many people are struggling with the HDA ATI or INTEL sound card/chip. Especially laptop users seem to have different problems. Hearing no sound from their speakers but only with their headphones. Or the other way around, no jack sensitivity or only hearing sound from their headphones and not trough the speakers. And, of course the worst kind, not having any sound at all.

Many forums are giving the 3stack of 6stack solution which (partially) works for some people.
(Changing or adding the following sentence: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack ) into the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file.

But the HDA soundcards seem to be complexer than that. There are a lot of different HDA cards with their own set of "rules" To tackle this problem, you have to find out what type of card is in your computer. you can check that by typing: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec (or if that fails : aplay -l )
The output will contain the exact type your your card or chip. For example: "Code:ALC861VD/660VD"

Now that you know this, you can look up that type in the list posted below:

As you can see, every type / chipset has several possibilities. Type the first word from the list in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or (if that one does not exist) /etc/modprobe.conf Just try them until you've found the right match. ( you can edit these files with your favourite text editor, for example: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.conf )

For example: If cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec or : aplay -l return "Realtek ALC260" , Look under "ALC260" in the list and add the following line in your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or (if that one does not exist or is empty) /etc/modprobe.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=hp

Reboot and check if your sound if working. Do not forget to check your mixer to see if (new) channels are muted. If that one doesn't work or partially works, try another one in the list eg:
options snd-hda-intel model=base
options snd-hda-intel model=will
or
options snd-hda-intel model=acer

That's all there is to it! I hope this forum post will help you as good as the info, gathered on the internet by me, in combination with days/weeks/months of testing and searching by me. I would like to know this this post solved your problems. Please let me know by posting your result in this thread. Thank you for your time, good luck and enjoy your sound!

I have just installed 7.10 to a Vista Toshiba laptop. In Vista the sound works fine. In Ubuntu there is no sound. The command cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec returned
Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
Codec: Generic ffff ID ffff
Any ideas?

[portotrix]

I think the Si3054 interfaces is a MODEM
My aplay -l in a Packard Bell easynote laptop returns:

Codec: Analog Devices AD1986A
Codec: Motorola Si3054

and this typing cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I've been looking for exactly this list. Thanks for the post.

Unfortunately, this still doesn't solve my problem - I've changed the model several times and don't get even a trace of sound output, whether with headphones, nothing (laptop speakers), or external speakers.

I've attached the output from running the "alsa-info.sh" script.

My computer is an Asus F7F dual boot with Windows Vista and sound works in Vista and in the Asus boot screen (it makes a sound), so the hardware isn't faulty. I just don't understand where in the settings I've gone wrong!

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm with a Medion RIM 2150, Realtek Alc880, no solution seems to work, only very low sound from headphones out.. anyone can help?

[memm]

I have a Gateway T-1616 running 64-bit Gutsy,

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

gave

Codec: SigmaTel STAC9205
Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054

for me. Then adding the line

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m42

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base solved my headphones problem.

Thank you!

Hi, I have an Acer Travelmate 4720 laptop.

Your method worked perfectly and allows me to give Ubuntu a second chance (I wouldn't start using it unless something basic like my headphones work...). Thanks a lot for the clear and simple explanation which is not always the case on these forums...

Keep up the good work.

Tom
