Via vt1705

[nsathees]

Hi,
I have changed my motherboard from ASUS to ASROCK. The ASUS motherboard came with VT1708 sound chip and the ASROCK comes with 1705.

The system works without a glitch except the sound.

I have sound playback but the volume level is very low and if I connect the microphone It makes terrible noise. I check the driver is still for the VT1708

here is the output http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=45eec94bd186dac4ed88a3cbb6f22ec8944e76fd

Is there any driver for 1705 HD Audio codec (5.1)?

How can I handle this problem?

I have found one tread on this issue and that wasn't solved. I don't have the luxury of getting a sound card or another motherboard.

Please help as my job requires me to communicate via skype.

Thank you!

The patches should be applied in latest snapshot. Try updating your alsa-driver-modules.
Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Add the ubuntu-audio-dev ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
Now install:

sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)
Reboot
Go to "System ->Preferences ->Sound" and make sure the correct soundcard is default and adjust your profile on the hardware tab.
On the output tab choose the correct device.
Check your levels in alsamixer.

alsamixer
Press <F6> to select the correct soundcard.
Press <F3> to show playback levels. <F4> selects capture levels [or use <Tab>]
Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels. <M> to mute/unmute.

Hi,my name is Mehman, I just added this repo and did every thing you wrote,but nothing happened :(

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

[sensenku]

Ubuntu Desktop 11.10

Reverse the previous change:

sudo apt-get remove linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)

Try this PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alsa-hda-dkms

Then restart. If it still does not work, please provide alsa-info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo

Here is my error or problem for solving http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cda4be8c20546865e64f294e5e1e7617e3ed9e5f

[Yellow Pasque]

Driver version: 1.0.24
This means that you did not install alsa-hda-dkms (or forgot to reboot). Driver version should be 1.0.25.

I just made it,opened terminal and typed alsamixer and alsamixer opened,and increased somthings and made some thing Stereo Mixer and all done! YYYYYYeeeeepppppppaaaaaa :)

Tried all of the suggestions in this thread & other sources to no avail. Here's what alsamixer shows:
Card: HDA ATI SB
Chip: VIA VT1705

I was able to get sound working by opening a terminal:

alsamixer

Pressed the right arrow to "Independ"(there are other settings that are not displayed on the initial screen), then arrow up to toggle the setting from "off" to "on".

Thought I'd mention what worked for me, if someone else has this chipset with no sound.
