Asus N53jq, sound not working

[jreece]

Thanks. I was just getting around to looking for a fix for suspend.

So this is solved then? OP, can you mark it using thread tools up top?

I am sorry, but it is still not working for me after the suggestions done before. In a French topic I found I should enable a sound option in the bios, but I can't find this option either. Anyone have a clue how to continue from here?

Edit: This problem was solved by checking Analog output to Analog speakers in Sound preferences/output tab...

I am still having problems getting this to work as well. I've added the snd-hda-intel line to my alsa-base.conf, but (1) sound still not working, and (2) I don't have an analog option in the Sound preferences Output tab. The only radio button there is "Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)".

Is there something special I need to do to make the analog option show up in the Output tab?

It would help to see your system status. Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
Run this command in a terminal:

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

Choose the upload option and provide a link for the output.

Were you trying to get hdmi audio working? Those edits you made to alsa-base.conf should be removed. Next update your alsa modules.
Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Add the ubuntu-audio-dev ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Now install:

sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)

Reboot
Check your levels in alsamixer.

 alsamixer

Press <F6> to select the correct soundcard.
Press <F3> to show playback levels. <F4> selects capture levels [or use <Tab>]
Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels. <M> to mute/unmute.
Go to "System ->Preferences ->Sound" and make sure the correct soundcard is default and adjust your profile on the hardware tab.
On the output tab choose the correct device.

Thax for quick replay.
but the hdmi audio isn't my first task.
i'm trying to get sound out of my internal speakers.
if i now conf my sound and i choice for duplex and output on analoog speakers, i can hear it on my earphone when i plug them in. if if config not to analog speaker but to analog out of analog headphone. there is no sound any where.
but i didn't try your solution for now because i understand it's for hdmi to get working. i take that for step 2.
thanks in advantage.

No. Updating the alsa modules provides better support for your codec/s regardless of output. So not just for hdmi. I'm sorry if my wording implied that.

oke. now i have great news. after al had done by google its working already and without your advice.
here is what i did. i hope i remember it right.
1 i tried all options given on page one
2 even some simulair i dont realy know where i found( see the extra lines in my alsa-base.conf)
3 next i did: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_N82JV#Audio except the last part about ´alias´.
that mean i did this part.( i downloaden link nr 8 and 9 (see below) )

1. Install ALSA drivers available at Realtek [8] 
 tar xvf LinuxPkg_x.x
tar xvf alsa-driver-1.0.xx
cd alsa-driver-1.0.xx
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
make
make install  Note: Realtek's  ALSA drivers, currently 1.0.23-5.15rc5, aren't compiling properly in  kernel 2.6.35. As an alternative, download the latest alsa-driver  snapshot from here[9] (tested with 01/09/2010 snapshot)
 2. Add options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf. 
Open /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

4 the last part i did was

 sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic

(i cant find where i found that could be a solution.)

now i have a have 4 opties for ubuntu (2 safe mode of course) but the same kernel version.
only the new one is

menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-24-generic-pae' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
    recordfail
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd0,msdos6)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 6b6e5b33-f679-4332-8d70-bfe9959384b3
    linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-24-generic-pae root=UUID=6b6e5b33-f679-4332-8d70-bfe9959384b3 ro   quiet splash
    initrd    /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-24-generic-pae
}

the old one start only tty1 en the new one start tty8(gui)

i hope i can help anyone whit this and properly lidex, you can understand what is happening so ubuntu can be growing. Thank you for helping and i hope this will keep working even after kernel updates.
my next step is updating nvidia driver. because i can't change the visual effects setting whit the recommended nvidia driver provided by "additional drivers".

even i'm not great whit linux i like to learn and if you like you can explain what could happen by what i have done to let my sound working.(extra, i check if i get sound out of my mini jack plug and even that is working as it should be.)

maby this olso can be help full: my actualy alsa-base.conf:
