No Sound...

options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL[/b]

The problem is this syntax looks wrong. Its not a dash, its an underscore from what I have seen. ie it should be:
options snd_hda_intel model=MODEL

If indeed I am correct, and the syntax is wrong in what you typed, its hard to say how many of your tests were wasted.

Can you run "dmesg > dmesg-out.txt" and then open "dmesg-out.txt" with your favourite text editor and scan through this file, looking for any occurrences of "alsa", "sound", "audio", "snd", "alc268", "hda_intel" ?[/b]

I never did read your answer to this. There maybe good diagnostic information there that is being used to help diagnose the problem.

I think you are wrong...

EDIT: I have upload a file here http://pastebin.ca/759523
I also tried acpi_osi=!Linux and pci=routeirq, but still no sound...

Next time, can you paste it instead here: http://paste.lisp.org or http://rafb.net/paste/ or http://sourcepost.sytes.net/ or http://pastebin.ca/ or http://picpaste.com for pics. Then paste the URL?

I know you must be feeling frustrated, but a long post like that makes this thread really hard to read.

There is some useful information there. For example:

hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC268, trying auto-probe from BIOS...

Which suggests it is having some difficulty with your ALC268

Then there is:

Initializing Device/Processor/Thermal objects by executing _INI methods:<4>ACPI: System BIOS is requesting _OSI(Linux)
ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux"

Did you try that boot code that the dmesg is suggesting? ie in the options line of your grub menu try typing:
<span style="font-family:Courier New">pci=routeirq</span>

I have the exact same problem with an HP Intel Dual Core 2 DV6626.

I went through the test steps as listed previously on this thread with no sound being emitted from the speakers.

One curious thing is the hp quick buttons volume light for mute is on all the time. When I press it the KDE software volume icon pops up and shows mute and unmute, on toggle, but the light remains on (indicating mute?)

Did you try the kernel boot code:
acpi_osi=!Linux

.... alternatively, another (slightly different) script you can also run to provide additional configuration information is the one suggested by user wishie (server appears to be working now). To download:
bash alsa-info.sh
and again post the URL here ....

I think you are wrong... [/b][/quote]So you believe the syntax to be "snd-hda-intel" and not "snd_hda_intel" ?

I don't have the same PC as you, so this is not something I can confirm, but the script print outs you are posting have an underscore, and not a dash.

You could be right (dash instead of underscore) ... as I note this:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php...odule-hda-intel

... I confess I find this interchanging of underscore and dash confusing .... unless they are completely different drivers ....

One further thought on this. ... I note on our sister forum, a user with an HP Laptop with an ALC268 problem was successful in getting sound on openSUSE by installing alsa-1.0.15 (he compiled his) and then instead of:

modprobe snd-hda-intel model=hp position_fix=1

I think he found
modprobe snd-hda-intel position_fix=1

without with out the model=hp

His laptop was laptop was a DV6575US (of the DV 6500 family)
http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=208957

(I note his post had "dashes" instead of "underscores")

I confess I do find his solution somewhat unclear. ... Perhaps try both, one at a time checking for sound, ie:
<span style="font-family:Courier New">rmmod snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel position_fix=1</span>
and then run alsa conf

I'm not 100% certain on the syntax for the above, so you may need to play a bit with it. I do not know if it is necessary to remove the snd-hda-intel driver first, before reloading it with a different parameter in the module.

I think you are wrong... So you believe the syntax to be "snd-hda-intel" and not "snd_hda_intel" ?

I don't have the same PC as you, so this is not something I can confirm, but the script print outs you are posting have an underscore, and not a dash.

I just looked again and yast had remove the line I added i tested yast sound config...
Now I added the line again: options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba and rebooted and now i have sound!

So a fast forward what I have done:

I added http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/.../openSUSE_10.3/ to update to latest ALSA. For some reason it didn't update driver and libs for me... So I build those myself.

I also did install alsa-driver-kmp-default-1.0.15.hg20071101_2.6.22.5_31-1.1.x86_64.rpm as suggested in this thread earlier dunno if that is needed.

and last I added this line: "options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba" to /etc/modprobe.d/sound
This was a hard problem to solve, but also a good experience along the way
It was much harder to get sound on opensuse than kubuntu. Maybe if I find some time I will write a GOOD guide for both exactly how to get sound.

I hope that opensuse will be better in next version and sound will work out of the box!

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S .....

Well done in getting sound .....Thanks for sharing your solution.

Now I added the line again: options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba and rebooted and now i have sound![/b]

I have a request now that you have your sound working. .... Can you run "dmesg > dmesg-out.txt" again, and post the output on http://paste.lisp.org or http://rafb.net/paste/ or http://sourcepost.sytes.net/ or http://pastebin.ca/

Maybe also run one of those scripts to see if the output is any different?

On these threads where I try to help a user, and the user sorts their sound such that it FINALLY works, I NEVER get to see what a working dmesg looks like (for their sound card) nor for that matter, working output of those scripts (that I had you run) look like. Its part of the final piece to the puzzle that I confess I always am curious about.

Thanks!
