[SOLVED][ASUS G2S][HDA Intel ICH8] get my 4 internal speakers working?

hi all!

i'm a new arch user ..yesssss (coming from ubuntu..)..and this is my first post here.

i've got a problem of sound with my laptop (ASUS G2S-7T040C) and linux distros ubuntu, and arch now (on windows it works properly).
this forum seems to be well frequented, so my question is...in the title

my asus laptop has 4 speakers; but i've got only 2 speakers working (front).
It's ALSA related, but i can't find a solution.

could someone tell me what should i do please ?

Thank you !
regards,

Kendy

Re: [SOLVED][ASUS G2S][HDA Intel ICH8] get my 4 internal speakers working?

Have you tried adding the following line to your /etc/modprobe.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL

Where MODEL - in your case - probably is one of the following:

asus
asus-laptop

Just to be sure about the codec, open a terminal and type:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec\#* | grep Codec

Afterwards search the "Module snd-hda-intel" section of Alsa-Configuration.txt for your codec and try the corresponding model options for your laptop. The "Module snd-hda-intel" section starts at line 739.

You will find Alsa-Configuration.txt under:

Re: [SOLVED][ASUS G2S][HDA Intel ICH8] get my 4 internal speakers working?

:D it works !!!!!! thanks a lot !!

for information:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec\#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC882
Codec: Generic 1543 Si3054

So i've searched for "ALC882" in ALSA-Configuration.txt
list of models:

ALC882/885
3stack-dig    3-jack with SPDIF I/O
6stack-dig    6-jack digital with SPDIF I/O
[b]arima        Arima W820Di1[/b]
targa        Targa T8, MSI-1049 T8
asus-a7j    ASUS A7J
asus-a7m    ASUS A7M
macpro    MacPro support
mbp3        Macbook Pro rev3
imac24    iMac 24'' with jack detection
w2jc        ASUS W2JC
auto        auto-config reading BIOS (default)

'arima' was the best choice !

cat /etc/modprobe.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=arima

thanks again !
arch is the best !!
