Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

I've had good success troubleshooting #! problems in the past, but this one has had me flummoxed.

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One 722 netbook, and got Crunchbang 10 Statler OpenBox working on it, fuss-free, except I can't for the life of me get the sound working [with the exception of a system beep when plugging/unplugging the power cord].

I've tried several pieces of advice from searching the forums, and random Googling, but nothing has helped so far. I tried a couple other distros before I ended up settling on Crunchbang again, and the sound worked fine for those, so it's not a hardware problem. alsamixer lists two sound cards, but nothing happens when I unmute and crank them both. I don't have a volume control icon in the taskbar.

if anyone has any ideas where I might start troubleshooting, I can provide terminal output as needed.

Thanks much in advance.

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Hello,

if you have two cards listed, we maybe have to blacklist one or change the order. 

lspci -k

in [ code ] brackets, please.

 cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
uname -r

please, and

sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel

, then try to play a sound.

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Ok, then let's check the codec: 

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0  | grep Codec

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

There could also be another 'card' directory in /proc/asound/ (for example card1)

ls /proc/asound/card*

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

There we have it. You need to set options for the card, check this list: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation … Models.txt

It is a bit of hit & miss, because the exact codec is not in this list - I would try the laptop option. So, do following:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and add the line 

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

save and close, then run sudo alsa force-reload or sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

If there is still no sound, you can try other options listed in the Conexant Card section in the kernel list. If you get it to work, please let us know. If all options won't work, let us know, too smile

Good luck!

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

by the way -> to have a volume control in the task bar (in Openbox edition), run volumeicon

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Sadly, nothing seemed to work. I tried 'laptop', 'laptop-hp', 'laptop-eapd', 'test', and 'acer', restarting/reloading alsa after each one.

Thanks very much for your help so far. Hopefully someone else picks up the ball if you're tapped for ideas.

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

ein@crunchbang:~$ volumeicon
volumeicon: asound.c:54: asound_get_volume: Assertion `m_elem != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted

A new problem rears its head! hmm

Edit: Putting my sound problems on hold until the morning [EST].

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Yes, that's related now. When sound works, volumeicon will work too. We hope.

Just to be sure: what is your

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

For whatever reason, one of those instructions worked partially --  I can get sound when I play .mp3s through VLC. Still no volume icon, and still no sound when I try and watch Flash videos, but I'm getting closer!

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Now, in a terminal window, use:

alsamixer

Set ouput levels for Master, Master M and PCM to about 80%
Use left and right arrow keys to select item, ten up arrows to set it up,
Esc when finished

then try

alsa-speaker

to test if you have sound.

Edit: Check this thread http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ound-hdmi/
if you still have no sound, specifically "unmute HDMI device"

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Looks like alsa-utils didn't install correctly.

ein@crunchbang:~$ alsa-speaker
bash: alsa-speaker: command not found

When I try to re-install alsa-utils through synaptic, I get:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/adobe-flashplugin_10.2.p2.092710-1_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

Not sure why I'm getting an error for flash, of all things. I was messing around with it during this session.

I'm beginning to think I should just go for a clean install.

Re: Acer Aspire One 722 - Sound not working.

Yeah, I'm going to go back to distro-hopping. [I've still got #! running on another box, so no worries. big_smile]

Thanks for your support, community!
