Re: No sound on Linux Mint Sylvia

uname -r returns 4.4.0.-53-generic on both the working system (SD4 Serena) and the non-working system (SDA2 Sylvia), so I don't see how changing the kernel will help.

lshw on (SDA2 Sylvia - no sound) has this to say about sound:
        *-multimedia UNCLAIMED
             description: Audio device
             product: 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
             vendor: Intel Corporation
             physical id: 1b
             bus info: pci@0000:00:1b.0
             version: 05

             clock: 33MHz
             capabilities: cap_list
             configuration: latency=0
             resources: memory:f7d00000-f7d03fff

lshw on (SDA4 Serena - yes sound) has this to say about sound:
        *-multimedia
             description: Audio device

Differences are BOLD

You are using the Linux 4.4 LTS series. Probably your problem is fixed in the current Linux kernel 4.16.1, and the fix wasn’t backported yet.

I do not know, if there are such packages for Linux Mint. Maybe something similar to [1] can be done for Linux 4.16.

The other two options are to build the Linux kernel yourself – `make bindeb-pkg` in Linux’ source directory – (only doing this for ALSA is possible too, but more involved), or to try some live system with a current Linux kernel.


Kind regards,

Paul
