sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

[Ubuntu810]

nope

but the line did appear in the alsa-base
only oss ... still no alsa or video sounds in a browser...
thx for the help... the other forums didn't reply yet

Can you edit alsa-base with vi? It shouldn't make any difference but I have seen strange effects in combination with permission-rules on other systems.

[Ubuntu810]

vi? I don't see the difference but yeah...
what line(s) should I add?
what line(s) should I remove?
How should my alsa-base in the end look like?
In the 8.0.4 all sounds worked fine... (maybe an important note that I forgot ot mention...)
so many questions...

[hikaru]

open a shell & type sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

If I use this as an example, then call

Code: Select all

sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

use the cursor to go to the end of the file, switch to editor mode by typing

Code: Select all

i

add this line (the best would be to copy it)

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba

leave the editor mode by pressing

Code: Select all

Esc

and write the file with

Code: Select all

:w!

Maybe you will have to confirm an override-question. Then leave vi with

Code: Select all

:q

Basically it does the same like the statement roadrash wrote. He surely can describe better, what it does.

How did you make the sound in 8.04 work (with alsa)?

btw: For security reasons you should restore the alsa-base permissions to 644 again.

[Ubuntu810]

8.0.4 was autodetect for sound... all worked well then
what do you mean by:
"btw: For security reasons you should restore the alsa-base permissions to 644 again."
i'm a newbie...you know
I'll try the shell this evening
edit: or should i reinstall 8.0.4 & look at the alsa-base in order to solve this issue?
& where should i look at then

[hikaru]

sudo chmod 777 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

If you did this your alsa-base will be fully accessible to everyone who has access to your notebook. This might be helpful for troubleshooting but should not be left this way.

You can check this with:

Code: Select all

sudo ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

If you see the 777 there you should restore it to the default settings which means to type:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 644 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

ok thanks... no-one else has access to my laptop, but it's good to save me from myself...

[roadrash]

Ok to get alsa working give this a try.

open a shell and type: sudo alsaconf

it should start a alsa configuration program its very straightforward.

tell me what happens
