Like some other users I'm having trouble getting sound to work on my laptop, an Acer Travelmate 240. Following this thread
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"antix.freeforu ms.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=4759&hilit=sound"
linktext was:"antix.freeforu ms.org/viewtopic.p ... ilit=sound"
====================================
this is what I did:

Code: Select all

# aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

aplay: main:722: Fehler beim Öffnen des Gerätes: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Apparently no driver is in user for my sound card

When trying to reload the alsa-drivers, my system doesn't get finished:

Code: Select all

It is stuck there....

Any suggestions?


I'm not sure which kernel module to load to get my sound working.

I am member of the audio group:

Perhaps try looking in dmesg for any reference to sound (?), or lspci maybe.

Edit: sudo lsmod | grep snd might also help

Schon mal

Es sollten wohl als Minimum vorhanden sein (von der Versionsnummer nicht irritieren lassen):

Please post the results of

Code: Select all

# inxi -A
Then we can check for the correct drivers.

With your sound card, and alsa we may need to set OSS as its front end.

Well, as in my original post I had already checked lspci

Code: Select all

# lspci -nnk | grep audio

No driver in use.. __{{emoticon}}__

Doing a dmesg which reloading alsa modules doesn't show anything.

Also nothing when testing for sound with:

Code: Select all

aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
I only get these errors messages as stdout:

Code: Select all

Looks like you have the correct drivers, so we need to try to set OSS as ALSA's frontend.
Run the following as root

Code: Select all

# alsa  force-unload

Code: Select all

# apt-get update && apt-get install alsa-oss

Code: Select all

# modprobe snd-pci-audio ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss
As user run

Code: Select all

# alsa reload

Code: Select all

# aplay -L
Do you have sound now?

Unfortunately I'm having trouble unloading the alsa modules:

Code: Select all

# alsa force-unload
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-seq-device snd-timer (failed: modules still loaded: snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-seq-device snd-timer).
So I'm stuck with that:

Code: Select all

# lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_oss            20893  1 
snd_seq_midi_event      3645  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                34663  2 snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_oss
snd_seq_device          3890  2 snd_seq,snd_seq_oss
snd_timer              12034  1 snd_seq
snd                    36700  4 snd_timer,snd_seq,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_device
soundcore               3447  1 snd
The alsa-oss package is already installed:

I need the output of

Code: Select all

# lspci
This will give me more information on your sound card information.
Then try

Code: Select all

# modprobe snd-intel8x0


I hope this works.
I’m not going to give up till, I find a solution.

Did you have sound during your live session before the install?
Sometime things go wrong during the install process.
My need to just reinstall the AC'97 Audio Controllers.
You could always install kernel 3.2.51-1 for better hardware support.
I'm just going over the list of possibilities.

Your welcome.
The modprobe will automatically set it for you.
