Need help with sound

jmak · 2011-05-30 00:18:48

Hello,

I'm unable to make my sound work. I've already gone through the alsa wiki but found no help there.

Could anyone help me make my sound work?

This is a new install. Everything works fine except the sound.

Here are some info about the cound card.

Thanks,
jmak

Do you have alsamixer ? execute it and see, if it is not muted. Try speaker-test and see, if sound comes

jmak · 2011-05-30 00:48:01

The alsa mixer showing only one scroll, the Master, and it is unmuted.

modprobe snd-hda-codec snd-hda-intel

No, it wasn't loaded either.

The output:
