Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 2550 Sound problem

If you dont hear sound from your amilo laptop you can try to use command as root:

echo ‘options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-ms7195-dig’ | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

Subwoofer works and headphones works then allso

Thanks to enigma on ubuntu forum!!!

openSUSE does not use “alsa-base”. Did you change “alsa-base” to “sound” in your echo line?

Note these “fixes” can be very codec dependant, and hence be very specific to certain model# of amilo laptops.

Hi!

Just used this command as root and works on amilo xi 2550

Out of curiosity, what hardware audio codec does this amilo xi 2550 have?

I am curious, … if you get the can, can you run a diagnostic script to post the amilo’s hardware/software audio config to a paste site, and then post here the URL?

That can be done by running with root permissions the script twice:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
the first time will update the script (if not already updated) and the second time will diagnose the laptops audio setup, paste it to the web, and provide a URL. Please post the URL.

I suspect your amilo has an ALC883 or ALC888 as lenovo-ms7195-dig is an option for that hardware audio codec.

Thanks.

thanks stipi, it was also working at amilo xi 2528

Hi old cpu!

Want to help you wit solving this, i get result -bash: /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh: No such file or directory

i dont have this script…

And i forgot to mention that the trick for headphones works only with SUSE 11.0 I tryed this with 11.1 but was having problems of somekind, didnt write it down.

can i hellp you annyhow to get this info to you?

Unfortunate, i am not an advanced user, maybe if you guide me?

stipi69, no worries. It turns out gnagfl0w has a similar Amilo (not identical, but similar) and he provided the script output for me.

The script is simple, if one knows how to open a konsole or a gnome terminal.

On openSUSE-11.1 (with laptop connected to the internet) simply type “su” (no quotes, enter root password) and type: /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh one may need to type that twice, the 1st time to update the script and the second time to get the URL address that is provided.

If using openSUSE-11.0 or older, one simply copies and pastes (with laptop connected to the internet):

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

and that will provide a URL address.

But no worries, as noted, gnagfl0w was good enough to post the script output.

To oldcpu

Now it worked, here is the stuff you need

It didnt worked in the 1rst place because a im a user of 11.0 :slight_smile:

Thanks for that. I find it useful to look at the diagnostic script from users who managed to get their sound functioning.

The reason the script did not work in openSUSE-11.0 initially, is because openSUSE-11.0 comes with version 1.0.16 of alsa, but the script was only included starting with 1.0.17 of alsa.

Comparing your script output to user gnagfl0w’s suggests the audio hardware on these two laptops is very similar (both with an ALC883).
