Sound

Can anyone give a hand I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC everything works on the first install but after installing again the sound will not work. HPwebcam, network and wireless, both sata and nvidia 8600 but I can seem to get the sound back. kernel see's all and it even see the digital sound touch pads buttons any ideas. h34r:

I've had HP PCs before. If you give me the exact model number( a1777c, m8200n, A610n) I might be able to help you. Also, I'm assuming you installed Open Suse 10.3?

Actually, I think starting a new thread is a good idea (as opposed to tagging on to an old thread).

Did you follow my suggestion here:

Here is the output from those test:http://nopaste.com/p/a7h4RfGsqb

lnxmobile:~ # rpm -q alsa alsa-firmware alsa-utils alsa-driver-kmp-default
alsa-1.0.16.hg20080318-1.1
package alsa-firmware is not installed
alsa-utils-1.0.14-27
package alsa-driver-kmp-default is not installed

OK, thanks. Its quite clear the reason your sound is not working. And thats because you do not have the correct alsa packages installed.

According to the diagnostic script you have an ALC268, which needs a clean alsa 1.0.16 install. You are missing alsa applications, and have both 1.0.16 (for alsa) and 1.0.14-27 for alsa-utils.

It appears to me that you deviated from the audio troubleshooting guide, and that is why this doesn't work for you now. Please, per the audio troubleshooting guide, run the following. Do NOT deviate unless you know what you are doing. Be certain of that. Note it might state you have "alsa" already installed. Still install the other applications in that zypper install line. You need to do that in a konsole with root permissions:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...E_10.3_Update/ multimedia-audio-retry
zypper install alsa alsa-driver-kmp-default alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware
zypper rr http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...E_10.3_Update/
rpm -q**alsa alsa-driver-kmp-default alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware

... and please post here the output of the last line, .. ie the output of the "rpm -q alsa alsa-driver-kmp-default alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware" command.

Then reboot your PC, and try your sound again.

Its possible we may need to hand edit your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, ... but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Worked like a champ! Sounds is on, vedio WEBCAM is working, wireless and wired networking, touch pad audio and mice both work both audio mic's and head set plugs work this is a great laptop for replacing my workstation on the road and to play games as well.


Thanks a lot for you help

Install alsa-driver-1.0.16 that worked for me on my HP Pavilion Entertainment PC.
1. untar alsa-driver-1.0.16
2. ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes
3. make
4. make install
5. reboot
