Realtek HD Audio!!PLEASE HELP

[Mohamed Ali Marican]

I have been trying to do everything i can to get my sound to work and have ehausted myself.

i'm using Realtek HD Audio on my Fujitsu Laptop
previously i could run alsaconf and it gave me two soundcard choises
1)intel 80xxxx
2)pnp devices.(which you could probe)

After trying to install the drivers from the realtek website which did not install proper and had errors,the two options in the alsaconf is totally gone.No Pnp and no legacy drivers!!!!

alsamixer:
error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

First, I would do a file search and look if this file "libasound.so.2" is still on your computer and where.

Then I would try to re-install this alsaconf or the additional stuff that comes with it.

If you look for "intel 80xxxx" in this list from lsmod, it looks like that the appropriate driver hasn't been loaded. But it is difficult to tell as they sometimes get completly different names.

From your hardware info ("intel 80xxxx", e.g., or the alsaconf stuff) try to figure out what driver does it needs (binary file ending in *.o on 2.4, or *.ko on 2.6 kernels).

[antidrugue]

Which Linux distribution is that ? The card you are referring to (Intel HD) is very common and should work without any configuration (or manual drivers installation) in any modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu Edgy, Suse 10.2, Debian Etch, Mandriva 2007, etc.).

Guys i managed to get the sound to work....i re-built the latest kernel and the intel hda works.....only thing you should not allow via8xx(default driver) driver to load in etc/modules/modules.conf...otherwise it works like a breeze.....

Thank You
