Hi All, My new machine has an ASUS motherboard:
H170M-E D3 and an AMD Radeon R7 360 video card. I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 I am getting no sound through the motherboard's onboard sound card. I get sound over HDMI and fortunately my monitor has an HDMI port AND built in speakers. However these are no-where near as good as my desktop speakers. The only option in the BIOS is HD Audio Controller (enable/disable). However nothing I change here has any effect. In the GUI the onboard sound is greyed out. Alsamixer shows HDMI sound only. The desktop GUI shows only HDMI. aplay -l shows only the HDMI sound. I have tried a number of things including /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I have added snd_hda_intel and adding a line in GRUB radeon.audio=1 and using 0 as well. I have found another possible solution here: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ Which suggests, under Linux kernel parameters Option: radeon.audio Value:: 0,1 Default Value: 0 Explanation: Disable/enable HDMI audio My question is: what *do* I do with this? I'm assuming I need to add/remove something *somwhere* but...where/what? Any help would be most appreciated. Without the onboard sound card I'm stuck with the crappy monitor speakers and cannot use headphones nor use a microphone for video conferencing etc. Regards, Patrick -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
