Realtek ALC662 driver

**bmiller59** · December 31st, 2008

Hello. I am a novice user and I need to install drivers for the Realtek ALC662 audio device. I cannot follow the manual instructions and the auto install does not work. Can anyone send me an auto installer for this card or walk me through the process? Thank you.

The driver files can be found here:

First of all, please try running this command:

Code:

echo 'options snd-hda-intel model=laptop' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options

Then reboot. Any chance your sound works now? According to this bug report which seems to relate to your issue, this might help.

If not, we can try installing Realtek's drivers.

Thank you! That seems to have worked.

I wanted to thank you, and all the technical wizards who support us Linux novices. It may seem annoying, but the more we are able to be successful in using Linux, the more the tide will shift away from competitors like Windows.

thanks of your help

1. you can edit /etc/modules by opening a terminal and typing:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

and the file will open in a text editor for you.

2. if you post the output of the command:

Code:

lspci -nn

I should be able to tell you which controller you have.

It would also be helpful if you posted a link to the instructions you're trying to follow.
