Hi,
No sound on an HP based system is a common issue if you are using the
onboard audio with ALSA and it is easy to fix. The problem is that the
Intel based audio chipset does not get the proper sample rate when caed
starts it up, so you end up with no audio.
You will need to be root and edit the file /etc/asound.conf by adding a
rate line. If you are using a sample rate of 48000 (for example) the
the /etc/asound.conf file should look like this:
pcm.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
rate 48000
}
ctl.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
}
Of course if you are running 44100 as your sample rate then make the
line 44100 instead of 48000.
Save the file and restart your daemons (or reboot). You should have
audio. If you still don't have audio, then run alsamixer and make sure
the audio card is not muted and the various channels are turned up.
