Hi guys
I just install OpenSUSE 11.1 in my laptop,HP 6530s.
But there no sound.:shame:
I am new in Linux.
Can any body give me some advices?
Before I pass a recommendation, here is some general concepts reading on openSUSE Linux: Concepts - openSUSE
I typically pass to users an audio troubleshooting guide that they can follow:
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
… and you are welcome to consult with that on occasion as I try to help on this thread.
In the case of your HP6530S, I note from linlap web site (for laptops under linux) for an HP 6530b (which may or may note be similar): HP-Compaq 6530B [Linux Laptop Wiki] where they had to apply an option model=mobile. That option is typically associated with an AD1884A, AD1883, AD1984A or AD1984B, but at this stage I do not know the hardware on your laptop so I can not say that is also the case.
Your problem could be as simple as a mixer problem. Or it could as complex as a configuration problem with your driver. So can you provide more very detailed information so a good recommendation can be given? You can do that, with your laptop connected to the internet, by opening a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole and typing:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
that will run a diagnostic script and post the output to a web site on the internet. It will give you the URL of the web site. Please post that URL here. I need that output to understand better your HP 6530S configuration.
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/soundI also need that output. Hopefully with that I can make a good recommendation.
Thanks.
Have fun ^^.
Hi,oldcpu
Thank you for replying some much.
I ran the commands you told me , the result is below:

Please check this. The output of /etc/modprobe.d/sound does not look correct. I think you are missing a line.
Hi,thangola
I try to add the line at the end ,but failed to save.
Because there is no authority.
I am very confused.
How can i use the root authority to change this file?
I can see your HP6530s has an AD1984A.
I note this reference your mixer:
!!Amixer output
!!-------------
!!-------Mixer controls for card 0 [Intel]
Card hw:0 ‘Intel’/‘HDA Intel at 0xd8900000 irq 17’
Mixer name : ‘Analog Devices AD1984A’
Simple mixer control ‘Master’,0
Front Left: Playback 21 [68%] -15.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21 [68%] -15.00dB] [on]
Simple mixer control ‘PCM’,0
Front Left: Playback 21 [68%] -3.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21 [68%] -3.00dB] [on]I recommend for basic functionality testing, you move your volume levels up to about 95%. Only once you get sound working, back them off to an optimal level, which could be around 68% (your current setting)
For a basic sound test, I recommend you copy and paste this into a gnome-terminal or a konsole:speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twavyou should hear a ladies voice saying “front right”, “front left” , five times. Please use that test, until your sound is functioning.
For the AD1984A I note this from the ALSA-Configuration.txt file:
AD1884A / AD1883 / AD1984A / AD1984B
desktop 3-stack desktop (default)
laptop laptop with HP jack sensing
mobile mobile devices with HP jack sensing
thinkpad Lenovo Thinkpad X300
Hence this suggests you should be adding to your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file either the line:
options snd-hda-intel model=mobile
or
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
BUT NOT both.
Try the first one, adding it to the end of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file
options snd-hda-intel model=mobile
and then in a gnome-terminal or konsole, restart your alsa sound driver with su -c ‘rcalsasound restart’ enter your root password when prompted and restart your mixer if required, check your mixer, and then test your sound per the sound test I provided above.
If that does not work, then replace that line in the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file with
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
and then in a gnome-terminal or konsole, restart your alsa sound driver with su -c ‘rcalsasound restart’ enter your root password when prompted and restart your mixer if required, check your mixer, and then test your sound per the sound test I provided above.
Good luck.
You need to do this with root permissions.
If running KDE, open a konsole and type:
kdesu kwrite /etc/modprobe.d/sound
and edit the file. Save.
If running Gnome, open a gnome-terminal and type:
gnomesu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/sound
and edit the file. Save.
Sorry,oldcpu
After add line
options snd-hda-intel model=mobile
i run the commond:
speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav
but i got
:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
the same result when adding :options snd-hda-intel model=mobile
Should i do something more? Such as restart the laptop.
oldcup,
My audio controller does work after reroot.
Thanks for your help.
Congratulations.
Please, for my own edification, what is the content now of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file?
Please, if you don’t mind, type:cat /etc/modprobe.d/soundand post the output here. Thankyou for your help in showing me this.
Hi,oldcpu
Sorry to reply you later .
Here is the information of my audio controller:
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
u1Nb.7QYdUBKDIu0:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=mobile
Hope it may help others.
Thanks. Best wishes on your experience with openSUSE
some good information here.
