I have a ASUS M3N78-EM. The stock ALSA that comes with Ubuntu 9.04 did not support my external SPDIF fiber interface – but after following this HOWTO it works now…..In my case I unintalled the ALSA base and utilites – rebooted – followed all of the steps except I went with the latest ALSA code.

Thanks Stephane for taking the time to write such a clear howto….

Hi.
Great manual! Thx a lot!
My HP tx2520er won’t play any sounds, until I following this instruction. But! It won’t also work with alsa 1.0.20 !!! It works ONLY with alsa-driver 1.0.21, available on http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads! (same steps, but newer driver needed).

ok.. I did everything and no succes.. i just installed ubuntu 9.04 in my gateway laptop model mx7118 and its beautiful except for my sound problem, i dont know what to do anymore, i already checked if anything was muted, i went to system preferences and picked ALSA, when i run the last comand line sudo alsaconf , it tells me that i have 2 sound cards:

atiixp ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC’97 Audio Controller (rev 02) │
│ legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) chips

i picked the first one atiixp and then it asks me:

Configuring snd-atiixp │
│ Do you want to modify │
│ /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf (and │
│ /etc/modprobe.conf if present)? │
│

i clicked yes and it answers me:

OK, sound driver is configured. │
│ │
│ ALSA CONFIGURATOR │
│ │
│ will prepare the card for playing now. │
│ │
│ Now I’ll run alsasound init script, then I’ll use │
│ amixer to raise the default volumes. │
│ You can change the volume later via a mixer

then it returns me to the terminal with this great message:

“Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

Have a lot of fun!”

Of curse i want to have a lot of fun but it still has no sound.. im very frustrated i have been in this problem since i installed ubuntu 10 hour ago!!! im starting to think that i might be condemn to Windows… Noooo!!
please help me!!!!!
Remember im new in this so i need a lot of advice.
