Alsa messed up after installing Realtek Driver
Hi guys,
at first I need to tell you, that I'm using Linux Mint. I already posted my problem in the Linux Mint forums, but it seems like nobody knows a solution for my problem, so I decided to ask the bigger Ubuntu community.
I installed the Realtek Driver for Linux because i had the problem, that with the snd_hda_intel driver I had some system freezes, but now I have a different and more serious problem...
Everything seems to be messed up now.
Pulseaudio just recognizes "Dummy Output", so no soundcard.
Alsa doesn't seem to work at all.
Also alsamixer, alsaconf etc. dont work, I just get this response:Code:cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards ---
My 1st try was to completely reinstall alsa and pulseaudio, but the result is the same.Code:alsamixer cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
In lsmod I've seen, that the snd_hda_intel module isn't loaded, so I tryed to load it manually:
And here the surprise...Code:sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel WARNING: Error inserting snd_hda_codec (/lib/modules/3.5.0-25-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko): Invalid argument FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/3.5.0-25-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Invalid argument
I've read, that someone already had such a problem and he reinstalled the whole kernel and it did work again.
So I did the same, but it didn't work either. He can't load the module.
I already tryed to insmod the module from an older kernel (3.5.0-17-generic), but I get the same error message...
What did the Realtek-Driver do to my system and the better question, how can I get it working again without reinstalling everything?
Some information:
OS: Linux Mint 14 Nadia Cinnamon 64-Bit
Linux Kernel: 3.5.0-25-generic
Linux Kernel, when I installed Linux: 3.5.0-17-generic
lspci -v (Here he says, the module snd_hda_intel will be loaded for sound):
