Asus K50IN : No Sound No Graphic Driver

When you plug the headset in, the speaker sound is supposed to stop, and you should get sound out of the headset. Is that what happens? Or do you get no sound out of the headset?

that what appear
Driver "kbd"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "vesa"
like first time

This states that your PC is using the VESA driver, where the VESA driver is an open source free driver that works on almost every graphic card. It is robust in that it will survive a kernel update or an xorg update. But it is slow.

Please type the following (enter root password when prompted for a password) and pass here the output:

su -c 'sax2 -p'

From run level 3 (ie NOT from a GUI terminal, but booting a text mode after typing "3" (no quotes) in the grub menu) did you try with root permissions:

sax2 -r -m 0=nv

ie follow my recommendation from post#6:
openSUSE Forums - View Single Post - Asus K50IN : No Sound No Graphic Driver

That is the open source (openGL) nvidia driver, and it will give better performance than the vesa driver that you are using now.

... and please confirm you do have a graphical interface now.

OK, that makes sence. From what have read, according to the alsa developers (where alsa is the sound driver used mostly in Linux), it is far easier to get sound working in a headset, than it will be in the speakers.

This should be fixable.

BUT before we try to fix it, can you now confirm you have a graphical (GUI) interface?

Per post#6 above, can you please provide more information.

i.e. :

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh

Run it the 1st time with root permissions. It will ask if you wish to do an update of the script. Select YES.

Then run it again (as either a regular user or as root). This time it will diagnose your PC's hardware and software configuration for audio, and it will post its output on the Internet/web. It will give you the URL of the web site. Please post that URL here. JUST the URL.

Also, please copy and paste the following commands one line at a time into a gnome-terminal or a konsole and post here the output:

rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

... with that information I may be able to make a recommendation.

I can't understand what this mean
I type

su -c 'sax2 -p'

that what's appear

Chip: 0  is -> VESA Framebuffer Graphics        03:00:0 0x10de 0x0873 AGP fbdev

and I typed

sax2 -r -m 0=nv

appear to me sax2 faild to start or something like this

That tells me Linux does not recognize your graphic hardware.

like ??? That did not come thru.

... anyway, it is a mute (silent) point as clearly from 'sax2 -p' that sax2 does not recognize your Nvidia Geforce G102M hardware.

You probably have to stick with the VESA driver until either:

• the openGL is updated to function with the Nvidia Geforce G102M or
• you download and install a proprietary Nvidia Geforce G102M driver for Linux from nVidia.

You still did not answer my question (that I can find).

Do you have a GUI (desktop) with the VESA driver?

oh I lose the GUI

what does that mean? Please, I can not understand.

If you have no GUI yet, then try VESA at a lower resolution. ie :

sax2 -r -l -m 0=vesa

(where that is a lower case "L" and that is zero equals vesa).

Then restart and test.

If that does not work, you can also try the frame buffer display/driver again (which is pretty poor quality).

To do that simply (with root permissions) copy:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and restart your PC.

Note to restart from an ascii/text prompt , one types with root permissions:

shutdown -r now

and to shut down one types

shutdown -h now
