Asus F3J Sound Problem

[richyl2006]

soemone else has problem with this chipset to make it work properly.

here is the link how they done it - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4869649

follow instructions and you will be ok!


Quotes taken from there :

"OMG ITS WORKING! the laptop speakers are completely off and only headphones work which is AWESOME. laptop speakers suck anyway.

now i gotta find out what fixed it lol so i can post here if anyone else has the same problem


ok i think the fix was a combination of these two:

adding "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig" in # gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
AND

i added this http://www.schugy.de/forenlinks/alsaconf
to sudo ./alsaconf.sh then save
then chmod it and ran it.
it did something
then restart and it worked "

thanks for the quick and excellent replies, many thanks!!

i just add options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig to the bottom of the alsa-base thingy yeh? or is there a certain place it should go?

Personally, I would do only this and try:

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

and add this to the bottom of the file

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig

Done that. Do i need to restart the computer to see if it works?

Didn't work. Sound still coming out of speakers.

Didn't work. Sound still coming out of speakers.

ok delete the previous entry and use this instead:

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 model=3stack

in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.

and then restart.

I have Ubuntu 8.04 on my ASUS F3Jc laptop, sound works normally except the mic, here is my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base for your reference, maybe you can backup yours first and then replace it with mine to see if the problem is solved, be sure to save and reboot, good luck!
