Hello, The problem is that when my friends are instaling any linux distributions, after instalation they are unable to find any sound. They are using intel 915 chipset motherboard. They are asking me the solution coz i am reading Digit regularly . But i am unable to solve . Please anyone help me.
915 uses Intel High Definition Audio. To use this soundcard you need to install ALSA >= 1.0.10 and then pass extra options to the module snd-hda-intel, depending on the type of sound card you have. The in-kernel ALSA drivers will NOT work. The various options available for this module are Code: Model name Description ---------- ----------- ALC880 3stack 3-jack in back and a headphone out 3stack-digout 3-jack in back, a HP out and a SPDIF out 5stack 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front 5stack-digout 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front, a SPDIF out 6stack 6-jack in back, 2-jack in front 6stack-digout 6-jack with a SPDIF out w810 3-jack z71v 3-jack (HP shared SPDIF) asus 3-jack uniwill 3-jack F1734 2-jack test for testing/debugging purpose I am currently using the following option with Intel D915GLVG Motherboard Code: model=3stack position_fix=2 Oh and btw, you didn't need to create a poll for it.
Alsa 1.0.7 onwards snd-azx (Azalia) and afterwards snd-hda supported.so u may need to update ur Alsa and have kernel-module-alsa made and installed.And if u have internet,you can update your kernel to >=2.6.12.So best of LUX.Also all these distros DRI/graphics drivers installed and supported for i915.. @eddie:where do those options listed..i could not find any in my debian's /sur/share/doc/alsa*
Its in official ALSA-Configuration guide. /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
well even i had this problem with ubuntu but the guys on ubuntu IRC helped me out of it i just had to change some settings and increase the volume...
