[SOLVED] Need some help getting the sound to work again

Recently I changed the motherboard and CPU to an AM3 platform, everything works with my previous setup except sound.
Reinstalling alsa-utils and rebooting had absolutely no effect. Google didn't help either.
lspci -v
00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8415
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at dfff4000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
The motherboard documentation refers to it as "VIA VTI708S".
VLC complains about alsa-lib. Reinstalling it also didn't help.
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Edit:
Damn ASUS font... It's "VIA VT1708S" (number one, not the letter "i") !  Duh. No wonder Google couldn't find any info.
Still, any ideas ? Or would you just rather let me squirm a little and diagnose the problem myself ?

sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
(I think it's what you tried to tell me, igndenok)
Great. It took the bulk of my day trying to figure out how to get this thing to work.
VolWheel is now set to adjust "Master Front" (it was previously set to "Master" with the old motherboard) and the Sonata volume bar apparently works too, just like I wanted (adjusting the PCM volume by default). Good. Great ! Now I just need to set the "snd-hda-intel" module to load at boot so I don't have to type "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" all the time and this thread can be considered SOLVED.
sudo nano /etc/rc.conf
...and add the following:
MODULES="... snd-hda-intel ..."
(also removed snd-ac97-codec from the list because that's what the old mobo used)
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP !
PS: Just out of curiosity, why is it called "snd-hda-intel" ? Why intel ? The CPU is AMD, the chipset is Nvidia nForce, sound is VIA...
Anyone know ? I'll subscribe to this topic just in case anyone knows. Thanks again.

  • How can i get the sound to work again? it doesn't ring, play music but siri works :/

    Is there anything i can do to fix this? i just restored the iPhone and it still doesn't work. please help
    thanks!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Need some help getting my G5 "SCSI" compatible

    Aloha:
    I need some help getting my G5 to work with my SCSI scanner.
    It has been suggested that I use an Adaptec PowerDomain 29160N to connect my Lacie SilverScanner III scanner, which is SCSI.
    http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/mac/scsi/APD-29160N/
    Does anyone have any experience with this unit or another SCSI adaptor that may be of help.
    I have a G5 using OS 10.4.8
    Any help would sure be of use!
    Thanks

    Dan Page-
    I've not used this card, but a quick scan of the web page says that it is compatible with Mac OSX 10.3.X. You may want to contact them to verify that it will work with your system.

  • Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

    Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
    In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
    So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
    How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
    Thanks,
    Wei

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the response.
    Application release is 11.5.10.
    Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
    Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
    The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
    This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
    Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

  • Need some help with the Select query.

    Need some help with the Select query.
    I had created a Z table with the following fields :
    ZADS :
    MANDT
    VKORG
    ABGRU.
    I had written a select query as below :
    select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    IT_REJ is a Work area:
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
            VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
            ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
           END OF IT_REJ.
    This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
    What should be my select query here?
    Please suggest....
    Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!
    Regards,

    Hello Everybody!

    I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
    I had created a Z table with the following fields :
    ZADS :
    MANDT
    VKORG
    ABGRU.
    I had written a select query as below :
    I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table 
    select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    Earlier :
    IT_REJ is a Work area:
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
    VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
    ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
    END OF IT_REJ.
    Now :
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
    VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
    ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
    END OF IT_REJ.
    I guess this will fix the issue correct?
    PLease suggest!

    I am basicaly having the same problem with my labtop. I tried the following above and yet I still have not been able to get my sound to work. I have had some problems with my power and sound cards before but after I reinstalled windows my graphics card and sound card have not been working to their full potential. I thaught that it was a 64 bit graphics card, but now I am not so sure. I had to jostle the power cord in the back till I mannaged to find a perfect spot to keep the computer running. Before the reinstallation I had to put pressure on the left side of the computer to get the sound to work.. but even then it still came in and out.. "The sound that is." I can see the same driver in the codex menue and it is yellow but, what you stated above did not work.
    It says (Cannot continue the hardware update) The wizard cannot find a better match for your hardware than the software that you curently have installed. and then tells me to keep the current software. My sound Icon does not show up when I go to the settings.... I can't play diablo 2 on this no idea why... But my screen is choppy when I scroll through internet sites and it did not do that before. I have a 400mbs connection .... here is my computer information. :Compaq Presario R3000 Intel pent4  2.80ghz    2.80ghz       1.12GB ram and im running on windows xp2 professional.

  • I cant get the sound to work on my iphone 4 after i record a movie

    after i record a short video i am unable to get the sound to work. what am i doing wrong?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.
