Re: Correctly setting up sound with Intel High Definition ICH7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi Niki,

Earlier this day I started a thread about Skype not working with outgoing sound. Now I wonder if it's not a problem with my soundcard. I had a vague suspicion about this, but since it's way off the original topic, I decided to start a new thread about this.

Here's what the soundcard looks like:

[root@grossebertha etc]# lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

the problem seems to be familiar with this chipset, independent from the Linux distribution: - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ich-7-hda-intel-631494/
 - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto


On the other hand, when I try to record sound over the soundcard, the result is quite fuzzy, full of distortions. I tried to fiddle with alsamixer to get rid of the distortions, but to no avail. Here's what I did to record sound over the mic:

Lots of settings: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3796486#post3796486


Now in the past I configured a laptop with an ICH sound card on it, a small ASUS. I spent like whole afternoons googling and searching through forums, until some day I stumbled over the solution. I had to add something to /etc/modprobe.conf, something like:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

It could be as easy as 'options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo' (see Ubuntu link) or similar, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelHdaDriverOptions.


Searching for "centos intel high definition sound" doesn't show much.

s/centos/fedora, good luck.


Chris
