No sound, Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) HDA Controller (Solved)

I've tried everything from the wiki to get this to work, along with alsaconf, but no such luck. KMix recognizes the card as "HDA Intel"; apparently the chip is a Realtek ALC262. I'm more or less at a loss: configuring my desktop was a snap.

Reboot and try running soundon again
Also check that you have not compiled sound support statically

Will another reboot actually fix anything, or do I need to remove more modules before I continue?

  • RM CL-51 laptop driver missing (intel(r) 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller CODE 28

    As the heading i have an UNKNOWN DEVICE with a yellow ? beside it. the only thing i can see is it is to do with intel(r)82801DBM LPC Interface Controller with the CODE28 which is no driver installed. I went to intel and downloaded and installed the R114079
    driver but still the same. I have tried downloading the drivers from RM and running them but again no help. Can anyone help me with this. it would be much appreciated. i have just bought the laptopwith a fresh install so i think there is a missing driver but
    i cannot find it.,....

    Unfortunately the hardware drivers are the sole responsibility of the hardware manufacturer.  If the device is defective then there is nothing you can do in Windows to make it work.  You will have to have some hardware diagnostics run on your system
    by a computer repair technician.  Troubleshooting hardware problems are not within the scope these forums.
    You might obtain more information about the controller in one of the Intel forums where you will find people much more qualified to discuss issues with Intel hardware than here.
    Your Intel 82801 chipset is part of the Intel southbridge family:
    http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/290655.htm
    Otherwise you will have to discuss the problem directly with RM technical support.

    Hi,
    It really helps us help you when you identify your notebook with its complete product name or product number and include it in a post in you thread..
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a printed part number and a product name (p/n). Post one or both of them (with all alphanumeric characters here).

    Not very likely.  It's an old and obsolete chipset and Intel has ended support of it with Windows 7.  The latest drivers are almost 6 years ago.

  • G580 with Windows 8.1 Pro - Installer can't find Qualcomm atheros AR81 family ethernet controller

    Dear Support / Friends.
    I am using G580 for the past 1.8 years. Over the last two days i am unable to connect to the internet using the Ethernet cable.The Lan Adapter is a constant Green/Orange Light. Tried reinstalling the AtherosLan(v2.1.0.21) driver, it says Installer can't find Qualcomm Atheros AR81 family Ethernet controller.
    I have already rebooted the system by loading OS default in BIOS setup,removed the RAM modules for a while after switching off the laptop, but to no avail the problem still persists.
    Surprisingly, I can connect to the internet only through the WiFi adapter.
    Can any one help me resolve this issue, as I have been racking my head for solutions on the internet, including opening up the laptop and removing all the hardware components and re-assembling the G580.
    Please help me fix this, as I have a feeling it is a software workaround more than a hardware failure.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Cheers,
    air_289

    What interests me is the "LANDevice" listed. That is not present on my G580, even when showing hidden devices. I can not see mention of it anywhere on the net, would that be a possible indicator showing that Windows has remapped the LAN Device to some incorrect driver?
    If I could see the Hardware ID from that device it would help me locate what it might be attached to. Right click on device, choose properties, then the details tab, then use the drop down to select Hardware ID, copy and past into your response.
    Good luck.
    PS - while you are cleaning, look at the pins inside the socket - none should be touching or crossed over, would "short out" the port.

  • Intel 6 series/C200 Storage controller and AHCI

    Hi All,
    I have a T420s with the Intel 6 series/C200 storage controller and an Intel 160Gb SSD.
    Its currently configured to use IDE. I've been reading that switching to AHCI will improve the performance.
    What i haven't been able to figure out is, does this storage controller support AHCI?

    I could not agree more with you Jaco,
    Since it is working very well, I should not make any further change. Thanks for your kind note.
    I only wanted to have more supporting comments about the referred issue in order to proceed. Particularly from HP.
    Thanks again Jaco....

  • Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller not working out of the box

    Dear all,
    I'm using, for my tests, an old server with a supermicro X7DBN Server motherboard.
    This motherboard comes with an embedded Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller.
    When I try a native installation from the technical preview DVD it sees the RAID1 volume that has been created (2 disk mirror) but when I select it to proceed with the installation there is an unknown error stating that it's impossible to write to this disk.
    The same installation works perfectly with 2012R2 and the out of the box driver provided bin the install media.
    An update from the previously installed 2012R2 to the Windows Server Technical Preview also works without problem.
    It would make sens for MS to revert to the driver version embedded in 2012R2 for Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller which is:
    Name : Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller
    Date : 10.08.2010
    Version : 8.6.2.1025
    inf section : iaStor_Inst_RAID
    Device ID : PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104

    Hi,
    Thank you for the information. As you said from the behavior it seems that the build-in drivers of Windows Server Technical Preview will not work with the specific motherboard hence the RAID1 cannot work well. 
    I'll log the issue down. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Intel HDS (ICH9 Family) - Stuttering Audio

    I'm at my wits end trying to get this sound card to work. It's the last outstanding problem on my new laptop!
    I've spent ages trying to get this going, but I've only gotten part of the way there.
    The problem at the moment is, when I try to play a WAVE file as per below, the first (I'm guessing here) 500ms of the file just loop and stutter over and over again.
    fukawi2 ~ $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav
    Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Stereo
    ^CAborted by signal Interrupt...
    fukawi2 ~ $
    It keeps going until I ^C the process.
    Same thing if I try to play and MP3 in VLC... VLC says it's playing, but only the first half-a-second stutters over and over again

    Will be an alsa problem then I would say. You could try a snapshot from the link i put above. There are a load of hda fixes in it. Its just the current vanilla kernel (2.6.28-rc4-git1 last i checked) with all the current alsa patches/fixes applied so any other custom kernel patches should work fine on it.
    Nvidia driver is a bit of a hassle with the new kernel though, Ive done all the googling for you earlier today when I built mine
    For the PKGBUILD you need this (the bit with the comments around it) after the cd $startdir line. Its a total hack so I didn't worry about it being pretty
    It relies on the src/linux-xxx dir being there, as the alsa kernel is packed into alsa.kernel or something, just rename it to linux-2.6.28.
    cd $startdir/pkg/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include && ln -s asm-$KARCH asm
    # HACK : NV 177.80
    cp -R $startdir/src/linux-${_basekernel}/arch/$KARCH/* \
    $startdir/pkg/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/arch/$KARCH/
    mv asm-$KARCH/asm-offsets.h ../arch/$KARCH/include/asm/
    rm -rf asm-$KARCH
    ln -s ../arch/$KARCH/asm asm-$KARCH
    Then whack this patch in the nvidia PKGBUILD where it says to put patches.

  • Question about the Intel driver for the IDE controller

    Greetings to all:
    Lenovo has recently published another driver for the IDE controller and I wonder how many of you that have a T60, T60p, T61 and T61p have been able to actually install it.
    My controller device is:
    Intel(R) 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4,
    both in XP-SP3 as in Vista SP1, 32bits versions ( see bellow details of my T60p, which has 2 hard drives)
    Interestingly enough the driver on each is v:7.0.0.1020 (2005/05/23) for XP and v:6.0.6001.1800 (2006/06/21) for Vista-B. They are working well as far as I see, but now and several times before, I have tried to update them but they do not install. The message is that I have already the  best driver. I noticed that the label of the controller is not quite exactly spell out in the instruction text file or the .inf, and the one that comes close, is that of the so call ICH7-M family.
    Why is this? There are at least 7 versions discussed in the history.  It it perhaps because the one for the ICH7-M family is always the same? System update does not install them either.
    Forgive my curiosity but why bother publishing if they can not be installed? Or perhaps somebody has. This is not logical.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For those who think I can not follow directions.
    First, the driver for the Intel IDE device in a T60p is obviously from Intel. But there are two ways to get it fulfilled.
    Lenovo publish the Intel drivers with perhaps there own twists, refinements and in the absence of clear contrary information, that they are perhaps more fine tuned to the machine. It uses the following inf files to have them install: iaahci.inf and iastor.inf. They are revised whenever Lenovo fell is necessary and eventually published.
    I must assume they are in use if you have a Vista system originally installed by Lenovo and that is why those inf are the ones you find in the updates.
    Mi T60p was purchased 2 years ago with XP-Pro, just before the release of Vista, with the understanding of a free upgrade to Vista-B shall be send when finally released. An Indeed they keep their word and send me a Lenovo branded full version of MS Vista-Business, some 4 months latter (not an image). Rather than upgrade XP-Pro and to avoid the time in limbo and work interruption of the Vista less desirable over XP, I did a successful clean install into a new hard drive, followed by a Lenovo system update, which changed many drivers and installed programs, etc. But as you might imagine, the Intel IDE-SATA driver installed is the one provided by MS (v:6.0.6001.1800 of 2006/06/21), (which uses a different installation file mshdc.inf) and, until proven otherwise, I must assume more generic, since it is for any and all machines, following the standard of the hard drive SATA type.
    Talking to Lenovo support for nearly 1 1/2 hours last week, was at least not good for my blood pressure, while attempting to explain the issue and refuting a collections of nonsense from the support tech. Eventually a supervisor assure me that the driver was the same and that it has not change for a long time, as it is the same even for XP. Well, why bother with updates if that is the case? But I see that there are others IDE drivers species for animals such as Dell, or HP, etc. Thus you must accept that there is a strong case for a Lenovo modified Intel driver and thus the updates. Tech support could not answer such question, nor they were able to install version 8.6.0.1007 (date 2008/12/04) of the driver.
    I fell the machine is working well, but have nothing to compare with (MS Experience Index 4.3). And as usually happened, sometimes you do not appreciate how sick you are, until you get cure. The question remains about the driver been generic and sufficient or specific and optimal.
    Cheers and happy holidays.

  • Intel Graphics Display Controller [Solved]

    I like to spend time trying to understand my installation. In my investigatiosn I found the following:
    # lshw -C display
    *-display:0

    does this "*-display:1 UNCLAIMED" mean that the device is not used and lacks the correct driver?
    Thanks

    That means you only have one display device connected, so unless you have two connected, just ignore it.
    If you look under description you will see that one is VGA and the other is the display adapter.
    Regards.

  • T440s display question / Intel HD Graphics family

    I bought T440s (windows 7 pro) with FHD WWAN screen and I am noticing that my older T430s (windows 8 pro) has a clearer and brighter display. Both have the same Intel controler (Intel Graphics 4400). Screen colors on T440s are warmer (yellowish) than on T430s which has whiter and more appealing/cleaner display/colors.
    T430s explicitely shows Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 in the device manager while the new T440s shows Intel(R) HD Graphics family only. There is no reference to to 4400 although my order information shows Intel 4400.
    Could someone please clarify how this display difference is possible. Should I check with tech support if I received a less quality hardware on my T440s.
    Many Thanks!

    Go into BIOS by pressing F1 at the ThinkPad POST screen > Config > Display. You should see a switchable graphics option here. Make sure it is set to Optimus.
