I have no sound on Dell Optiplex 960 using Analog Devices 1984a integrated chip. Running Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (HardyHeron) (do not want to upgrade to newer version) I followed the instructions at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 I've edited: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and /etc/modprobe.d/options and aded the line: options snd-hda-intel model=desktop I've replaced "desktop" with generic, laptop, mobile, thinkpad, basic and dell. None worked. The connection in the front of the computer, if i attach a headset works fine. (must not be the same as the rear connection where my speakers are attached to.) $ grep audio /etc/group audio:x:29:pulse,<my user name> $ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec Codec: Analog Devices AD1984A $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation ICH10 HD Audio Controller [8086:3a6e] (rev 02) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device [1028:0276] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at fe6dc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> The output of the newly downloaded /tmp/alsa-info.sh is at: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=09721cb1c29d49b43ba6182f8d5126d9ff28f922 Help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
