I see you've done some tweaking. Remove the custom entry from alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=targa-2ch-dig

Replace with:

options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1

 gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Save. Close. Reboot. Check your levels in alsamixer.

[Wandang]

i didnt change alsa-base.config

instead i created the new file hda_intel.conf

ill delete that file and put ur suggestions into the alsa-base.conf.

if that wont work i put ur code into hda_intel.conf (then recreated)?

ill try.

/€: didnt work. maybe i messed with the alsamixer?
cannot find the error :/
added a actual picture as attachment

[lidex]

Stay away from 'hda_intel.conf' for now. Update your alsa to 1.0.23 via the link in my sig. After check 'Edit>SoundCard Properties' in gnome-alsamixer to make sure elements are enabled.

i will (this will be the third time... first 2 caused me more trouble then fixes)
hopefully this time the upgrade wont kill my sound again^^

/€: update done... now i dont have any sounds in ts3. rythmsound still works.
all elements under SoundCard Properties are enabled....

[lidex]

What is ts3? You removed file hda_intel.conf, correct? And added lines to alsa-base.conf?
Can you post the output of these terminal commands for me please:

uname -a
aplay -l
cat /proc/asound/version
head -n 1 /proc/asound/card*/codec#*

[Wandang]

sure. ts3 = teamspeak3 , an mumble alternative (voice over ip program)

oh i see that the update went wrong.
ill try it again.

/€: again the update went wrong. still having 1.0.22.1 :/ (thats the first time it didnt go well)

[lidex]

If you have alsa backports installed, uninstall it and try the update again. For some reason backports overrides it.

[Wandang]

i'm not aware of having any backports.
there is no entry in my software sources containing backport in it.

Look in synaptic for this:

linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic

which is the metapackage. There would be one more package with an actual kernel version number. If there remove them both.
