Re: No sound w/ HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 - tried *everything*
IT WORKS!
AWESOME! I just had sound for the first time in weeks. can't friggin believe it. here's how i aplied that patch (there may be ways to do it without recompiling alsa-driver, but i couldn't figure that out right now): 1. i downloaded alsa.patch from Here 2. i downloaded and unpacked alsa-driver 1.0.12rc3 from alsa-project.net, unpacked it 3. i did Code:
patch -p1 < /path/to/acer.patch Code:
/path/to/alsa-driver-1.0.12rc3/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c Code:
cd /path/to/alsa-driver-1.0.12rc3 ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel make sudo make install Code:
snd-hda-intel model=ACER Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=ACER options snd-hda-intel model=ACER (there may be some redundancy in these entries) 5. i rebooted (unloading and reloading the modules didn't do the trick for some reason) i guess the patch will be added to the next release candidate of ALSA, so there's an end to this nightmare.. EDIT 09/13/06: Alsa driver 1.0.13rc1 from alsa-project.org does indeed containt the modifications in the patch, according to the changelog. so you can skip steps 1 and 3, just download and compile the latest alsa driver. you probably won't even have to add the model option "acer" to all those files, like i did -- your card will probably be detected automatically.

Re: No sound w/ HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 - tried *everything*
this thread is about sound problems with the ALC883 chip -- you better start a new thread with your problem...
that said, it really looks like the last one's your problem -- but i can't tell why there's no codec. you probably won't get rid of the problem dealing with the livecd. try the comprehensive sound problems solutions guide (sticky in this forum). |

Re: No sound w/ HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 - tried *everything*
Sorry about hijacking your thread. I did start a my own, but it fell of the forum with no replies. I thought I might get a better response if I post in an existing thread.
I'm a little hesitent doing a permanent install before clearing up the sound problem. If it turns out the sound problem can't be fixed, then I would have to spend a huge amount of time reinstalling XP and all the programs I have right now. |

Re: No sound w/ HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 - tried *everything*
i just read that the patch won't make it into ALSA 1.0.12 final, but it's likly going to be part of 1.0.13rc1.
ubuntu is lagging far behind in terms of alsa - dapper came with 1.0.10 or somthing -- this means a whole lot of acer laptops aren't going to work with ubuntu out-of-the-box for a long time, i guess... |

Re: No sound w/ HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 - tried *everything*
I'm having sound problems too, and I've heard mention of a snddevices and alsaconf script. I can't find either on my system. Where are these scripts?
This is my annoying thread - I've been without sound for a couple of weeks now: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238446 |

Re: No sound w/ HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 - tried *everything*
I have sound!
I used alsa.patch and alsa-driver 1.0.12rc3 from alsa-project.net, and now all works. |

Hi
I had the same problem that you describe. When I was giving up I have made a last try. In start "System Setting" at KDE start menu. After that I access the tab "Hardware" present in "Sound System Configuration". At this tab I change "Select the audio devide" to "Open Sound System" and the sound came up. in fact the sound is not good, bat I is bether than nothing. Do you find a more robust solution ? Thanks |
