Re: [Alsa-user] No sound on Linux Mint Sylvia

2018-04-13 Thread Chuck Pergiel 
I gave up on trying to get sound to work 18.3 and have gone back to 18.1
(download iso file, burn DVD, boot and reinstall).

 You are using the Linux 4.4 LTS series. Probably your problem is fixed
 in the current Linux kernel 4.16.1, and the fix wasn’t backported yet.

 I do not know, if there are such packages for Linux Mint. Maybe
 something similar to [1] can be done

Re: [Alsa-user] No sound on Linux Mint Sylvia

2018-04-13 Thread Chuck Pergiel 
I run Linux Mint on my personal computer.
There are two bootable partitions on the hard disk.
SDA2 boots Sylvia, the current version. NO SOUND HERE.
SDA4 boots Serena, an older version. Sound works fine here.

Looking for differences between the two systems I found this (differences
are in *BOLD*):

uname -r returns 4.4.0.-53-generic on both the working system (SD4 Serena)
and the non-working system (SDA2 Sylvia), so I don't see how changing the
kernel will help.

lshw on (SDA2 Sylvia - no sound) has this to say about sound:

lshw on (SDA4 Serena - yes sound) has this to say about sound:

Please run the script [1], which should collect a bunch of information,
