Mageia forum

Hi

I have a Samsung Q1 which has no sound. I had been running Jolicloud with the same issues and did the following to get it working a treat.
Identified I had an AD1986A Audio card on my Samsung by opening up a terminal window and running

sudo head -1 /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

it outputs your audio card type.

2.Edited the configuration file by this command:

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

found this section:

# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard

options snd-pcsp index=-2

changed it to:

# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
#options snd-pcsp index=-2
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd

3.Rebooted,and the sound worked.

I am totally new to Mageia and Mandriva as I used to PCLINUXOS and Mint.

Could anyone tell me how I do the equivilent and get the same results in Mageia, (Total Newbe remember, who has a little experience of command line the best of times... linux is so good these days I rarely have too.)

Regards

Put this inside /etc/modprobe.conf in a new line, save and reboot. That should do it.
(i need to do something similar for my Acer 5739G to get microphone and tubabass working.)

sorry to sound stupid. I would use gedit to do that with jolicloud, what command would I use with mageia

Well, use whatever text editor you like, but in a terminal i wouldn't recommend to use a graphical editor. Maybe use mcedit, from mc package (midnight commander)
or use gedit after installing it, package is also called gedit. Or simply do the following as root:

Code: Select all

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

This writes what is between the quotes in a new line at the end of /etc/modprobe.conf, no editor needed at all

thank you doktor5000.

Worked a treat..... thanks very much....
