Intel HDA - Realtek ALC888

[moose2]

Hi,

I have a Medion Akoya MD 96630 Notebook and Ubuntu 10.10.

Before I tried this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=558069) the internal speakers worked, but not the mic or headphones.

Now nothing works at all:

$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:235: keine Soundkarten gefunden ...

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
cat: /proc/asound/cards: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

$ lspci -v

$ ps -C esd

$ ps -C arts
  PID TTY          TIME CMD 

What should I do now?

cd <directory_where_you_placed>/realtek-linux-audiopack-5.16rc6
sudo make uninstall
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-`uname -r`-generic

If you get sound working after reboot, try this for microphone and headphones:

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=medion" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Hi Temüjin,

I've just reinstalled the whole system and executed your command, but "options snd-hda-intel model=medion" changed nothing. Mic and Line out don't work, Line-In and internal speakers work.
