[SOLVED] Problem with no sound

Derson5 · 2014-12-28 21:29:48

I installed Arch on new laptop (Lenovo G510), and I have problem:
I installed all package with alsa, (I didnt install pulseaudio) and when I walk in to alsamixer, appearse this:

Card: HDA INTEL HDMI
CHIP: INTEL HASWELL HDMI

And there is choose S/PDIF; S/PDIF1 and S/PDIF2
Any of this 3 options didnt change when I want to change something.
When I click F6 I can choose second sound card (HDA Intel PCH).

Card: HDA Intel PCH
Chip: Conexant CX20757

And there is all sound options like Master, Speaker, Headphone etc. I unmute Master and change it to 100, but still there isnt sound. I change in VLC to output from HDA Intel PCH and there is sound, but only in vlc.

Derson5,

i suggest for the 2nd issue you create a new topic and add Xorg logs to it.

sound issue

please post the output of aplay -l and lspci -k .

then re-read section 3.2 of that wiki page, it has a potential solution.

@Lone_Wolf I cut second issue from this topic, as you suggest.

Edit: I create /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

[x@arch64 ~]$ cat /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_hda_intel
 1 snd_hda_intel

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd_hda_intel index=1
options snd_hda_intel index=0

But this didnt change anything.

Atleast the problem is now clear, your system initializes the hdmi sound output as default card.

try using this alsa-base.conf :

options snd_hda_intel index=-2
options snd_hda_intel index=0

then reboot to console/multi-user mode, and run aplay -l again.
(Some DM / DEs can mess up sound configuration, that's why we should verify things in pure console mode first.)

Hopefully then card 0 will be listed as PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CX20757 Analog [CX20757 Analog]

Derson5 · 2014-12-30 20:54:30

aplay -l is the same as previous. I tried launch moc player

[x@arch64 ~]$ mocp
Running the server...
Trying JACK...
Trying ALSA...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Trying OSS...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!


FATAL_ERROR: Server exited!

Lone_Wolf · 2014-12-30 21:58:15

I found something here : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1446773

It seems the options for snd_hda_intel have changed and index is now an array.

try

options snd_hda_intel index=1,0

in alsa-base.conf .

Derson5 · 2014-12-30 22:49:43

Now everything is all right. PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CX20757 Analog [CX20757 Analog] is actually on top in aplay -l. MOC player, vlc, youtube etc is now with sound.
Thank you very much!
