[SOLVED!!!!!]no sound , and no speakers found

[NIKK]

[root@localhost nikk]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf

Code:

install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe pata_atiixp; /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true
install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /bin/true
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

[root@localhost nikk]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf


install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe pata_atiixp; /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true
install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /bin/true
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

I removed the code box so I could highlight the part above in blue. You seem to have an ATI chip set, as do I. My results for the above command are below.

[root@fatman ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe pata_atiixp; /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /bin/true
install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /bin/true
alias eth0 r8169
alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
alias pci:v000010ECd00008168sv00001458sd0000E000bc02sc00i00 r8169

Note the first line where the first module loaded is the same for both of us, but you are then loading the sata_sil, module where I am loading the ata_piix module. Is this something you changed when you were trying to edit the file?

For now, edit your /etc/modprobe.conf file to add the line from my output (above in purple) directly above the options line you already placed there, so it looks like this;

alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

Save the file, reboot, and again check your sound.

Post your results.

well, i did just that, checked my sound, and checked kmix, and nothin. any more ideas?

[NIKK]

Code:

install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe pata_atiixp; /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true
install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /bin/true
alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

Have you rebooted?

[NIKK]

well , technically i accidently shut it off trying to swing my mouse over to the reboot button. But i'm not sure that would make a difference.

[Just18]

I would be inclined to try the alternatives I posted and reboot between each .......  other than that I know nought 

[NIKK]

bummer, nothing worked. does anyone else have any ideas? i'm open minded at the moment

[Just18]

Maybe install Qasmixer and see if there is anything there that you could tweak. It has worked for others.

[NIKK]

AH, Thank you so much, i installed qasmixer and turned all of the volumes way up. Worked like a charm.

Good!

Glad you got it sorted
