No sound on Intel HD Audio (3400 series 5)

alsaconf complains that no "No supported PnP or PCI card found"

This is a shiny new Lenovo X201 sad total lack of sound is completely killing the Arch experience. Any pointers/advice is very appreciated

Re: No sound on Intel HD Audio (3400 series 5)

I've seen this before and have posted a few messages on this.  I have not made a howto because what I am about to help you with is a hackish workaround.  YMMV.

Having said that, the problem is that, for whatever reason, alsaconf does not know about some Intel sound cards.  When first you run alsaconf, it creates a database, and your card is not in it.  We will add it by hand and re-run alsaconf.

To get started, please post the output of your lspci -nn

Re: No sound on Intel HD Audio (3400 series 5)

Okay, I've been through my notes.  Since you have run alsaconf already, the file /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards should exist.
Find your sound card in the lspci -nn output.  Take note of the two hexadecimal numbers after your sound card description [8086:xxxx].  The 8086 is Intel, the xxxx will identify the chipset.

Edit /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards, and add a line to the file right after the snd-hda-intel.o so that file starts with:

snd-hda-intel.o
PCI: 0x8086=0x293e 

but replace the 293e with the four digits that define your chipset.  When you are done, adding the line, it should be in front of, and have the same format as the cards that were already in the file.  This file associates all of those manufacturer / chipset pairs with the snd-hda-intel.o driver.

Now, rerun alsaconf...

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

Many thanks - sound works now.

Thanks a lot, I used your method to setup my intel card.

Just for curiosity, after I rerun alsaconf the file /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards was rewrote, and if I run alsaconf again the card is missing again. Doesn't it matter?

Thank you very much smile

I was previously getting that same error, followed your steps, and the alsaconf.cards were in fact messed up. i changed it to 0x293e(thats actually what my card actually is) i checked out my /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards and there were 3 cards that had the 8086. changed each one to the 0x293e (alsa finds all of them), but when i configure them and play an audio clip (youtube, and yes flash is installed) no output.

any ideas on that one? i can feel im close, but, yet so far away.

Re: No sound on Intel HD Audio (3400 series 5)

You have to find which model you have when you load your driver in kernel. So check the directory /etc/modprobe/ and there should be a file named alsa.conf or alsa-base.conf or similar. If it is not than create it. And in there you should put a line: "options snd_hda_intel model=xxx"

Try to find your model see here http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document … Models.txt
and here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568 maybe it helps. For my Dell M2400 I had to put model=dell-m4-2 for HDMI to show up and to start to work.

Also "alsa force-reload" doesn't exist in arch, it's" /etc/rc.d/alsa force-restart" or "rc.d force-restart alsa" but this didn't work on archbang, a resrtart was needed, so to be sure that it does or doesn't work ,restart your computer every time you try differnet model...

It's not important, I've never found nowhere stated that dell M2400 uses dell-m4-2 but I've tried and it worked...

Start with option snd_hda_intel model=hp-bpc-d7000 and reboot your computer. If it doesn't work, try with some other option from the list bellow... Good luck! smile

Re: No sound on Intel HD Audio (3400 series 5)

Could you maybe help me as well?

I have quite a similar problem
But i am not that good in linux and when tryigng to follow the steps I havent even found the cong list inth var foloder... sad

As my hard drive crashed in my touchsmart 610 - I reinstalled my system on a linux external HDD - but since then when I plug in my PS3 via HDMI to the touchsmart I have no sound. The image from the PS3 is however working in HD perfectly fine

As I have tried mutliple things already I am starting to be annoyed by this. The sound works perfectly on the computer itself (music, movies etc) but only not from the PS3. When I run alsamixer I do not see however any HDMI port active.

I posted all the elements that might be relative to my issue on a different post already
