No sound at asus-laptop with realtek alc660-vd

[deivid85]

Hi everybody!

After several days which i've tried to resolve my problem with the sound in my laptop i've decided write us.

I've installed Ubuntu 7.10. Because of the sound don't play I installed ALSA 1.0.16 and then, it recognized the card and said that installed it correctly, however, the sound is off.
I've followed the steps at URL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and read a lot of webs with diferents solutions but I can't resolve the problem.

> I run alsamixer and there aren't channels muted.
> I've installed alsaconf many times and nothing.
> I've read the ubuntu guide.
> Only get sound adding the line "options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo" at the end of the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base but this produced a deafening sound.

Please, help me.

Thanks!!

A very high pitch squeeling noise? Could it be feedback between your speakers and microphone?
Try muting your microphone in alsamixer and try again.

Also I'm on the same problem on an Asus x20sgseries with the same alc660-vd.

ALSA 1.0.17-rc1 came out today. Make sure to configure the alsa-base file appropriately.

After thousand tests using ALSA 1.0.17-rc1 and all possible combination flags in modprobe it still NOT working on my asus x20sg.

It looks like the card it's ok but there's something muting the sound. (may be it's some motherboard flag?)

At last I did it.

I build the drivers as tells Temüjin. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820959)

After I've add to /etc/moprobe.d/alsabase

options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo

and it worked.

Thanks

CarlesOriol, thanks for the feedback; I added your model to the list. Enjoy your sound!

hello,
my laptop is asus m51s with realtek alc660-vd.

after adding the line :

options snd-hda-intel model=hp

i got sound. but when i plugin a headphone i get no sound anymore (neither through headphones nor laptop itself). after unplugging the headphone there's sound again.

i can record sound through sound recorder and the same headphone mic.

at system start, bios plays a short melodi which i'm able to hear through the (still plugged in) headphones. so the headphone is working.

no sound is muted in alsamixer.

can anybody help ?
do you guys have sound on headphone ?

thanks in advance
