How to get the sound working

Okay, I'm just basically reposting what is already on this Ubuntu help page and on the previous Lenovo Ideapad Y510 is GO page, but with some new tweaks. This guide is using the 1.0.18rc3 ALSA drivers, but this will/should work for other drivers.
First, you need to make sure you have the right stuff installed:
Code:
Code:
sudo aptitude install build-essential libncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -r`
Next get the latest ALSA drivers; they'll be downloaded to wherever your default downloads go, but you're going to move them to a new directory. For this case, I'll use the Desktop.
* alsa-driver
* alsa-lib
* alsa-utils
From here...
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
Next step is to create a /usr/src/alsa directory for the files and copy the tar.bz2 files to that directory; you may have this directory of you've rolled your own drivers in the past:
Code:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa
cd /usr/src/alsa
sudo cp ~/Desktop/alsa* .
sudo tar xjf alsa-driver*.bz2
sudo tar xjf alsa-lib*.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf alsa-utils*.tar.bz2
* Compile and install alsa-driver
Code:
Code:
cd alsa-driver*
sudo ./configure --with-card-options=hda-codec-realtek,hda-codec-analog,hda-codec-sigmatel,hda-codec-via,hda-codec-atihdmi,hda-codec-conexant,hda-codec-cmedia,hda-codec-si3054,hda-generic
sudo make
sudo make install
* Compile and install alsa-lib
Code:
Code:
cd ../alsa-lib*
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
* Compile and install alsa-utils
Code:
Code:
cd ../alsa-utils*
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
Next find out what sound card you're using:
Code:
Code:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
The Y510 uses RealTek ALC888, so look for that. (This may be different if you have a newer version of the Y510 with some different hardware.)
Next you can check the ALSA-Configuration for specifics on the sound card. I found it at
Code:
Code:
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver*/alsa-kernel/Documentation/ALSA-Configuration.txt
Look for the section titled ALC883/888. There are many possible options, and some work better than others.
‣ 3stack-6ch
‣ 3stack-6ch-intel
‣ lenovo-101e (Lenovo 101E)
‣ lenovo-nb0763 ( Lenovo NB0763)
‣ lenovo-ms7195-dig (Lenovo MS7195)
‣ lenovo-sky (Lenovo Sky)
‣ auto (Gets the information from BIOS)
Next to tell alsa-base what to do:
Code:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
at the end of that file, add:
Code:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL
For model=MODEL, use one of the options from above, such as:
‣ options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-sky
I found model=lenovo-sky worked beautifully and then you will have no problem with the speakers muteing with you plug in headphones.
You will want to reboot now...
Then you will want to set up the default sound settings by doing this...
Open a shell and swich to the root user:
Then set the sound up to the way you would like it at startup:
(Hint, make sure headphone is NOT muted, Frount to 100%, Surround 100%, Center 100%, LFE 100%, Side 100%, and I like to have Master set to 50% at startup.)
(Hint, use the arow keys and the "Esc" key to exit)
After exiting the Alsamixer, run this command to save your sound settings:
Then reboot:
Reboot and see if it's working. In the past, kernel updates did not break this. The surround sound features are present, the system sounds work, and the headphones automatically mute all speakers when plugged in.

How to get the sound working in Arch Linux
In the shell:
pacman -S alsa-oss alsa-utils alsa-lib
Then add this line to the end of /etc/modprobe.conf
Code:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.conf
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-sky
reboot or restart the alsa daemon
Then you will want to set up the default sound settings by doing this...
Open a shell and swich to the root user:
Then set the sound up to the way you would like it at startup:
(Hint, make sure headphone is NOT muted, Frount to 100%, Surround 100%, Center 100%, LFE 100%, Side 100%, and I like to have Master set to 50% at startup.)
(Hint, use the arow keys and the "Esc" key to exit)
After exiting the Alsamixer, run this command to save your sound settings:
Reboot and all well be working
