Realtek ALC883 Hda-Intel --No sound --Any distro!!

vikrang · 2011-04-21 05:32:21

I am posting this in desperation,..You may find this in other forums as well...I am not able to get the driver to work (Realtek ALC883 Hda-Intel)..

Tried the different models specified in ALSA Matrix for the card but no luck

Tried to download Realtek Unix driver , but got some error during compile

Is there a fix for this?? Pl help

Posting the Output of some commands if it could be of assistance to solve the issue

I also have the ALC883 on my board (asus P5K-vm) working on arch for many years. Its a ich9 family board so i dont know if it applies to your configuration, but i have a bios setting for selecting hda-intel or ac'97. Make sure that hda-intel is selected if you also have this setting. Did you try the 'alsaconf' command as root?

vikrang, can you please use BBCode code tags when posting outputs.

Also, have you followed the ALSA wiki ? Did any step give any errors or did not work?

Yes ...I tried to give options as per the ALSA Matrix but no luck..This card seems to be nag for most of the users...Unfortunately though I am able to see the queries , nobody has successfully reported resolution of the issue in various. forums

Someone asked me to run ALSA info script which gathers info about my machine and posts the result in a website..

Hopefully if someone could crack it it would be nice

SOLVED !! ( Solution to be adapted to Arch suitably ie try only steps 7 to 11 as there are no preinstalled PA drivers)
