I had a problem before where Ubuntu didn't detect my headphones which still is not fixed.



The problem now is that when i type alsamixer into terminal I get cannot open mixer: No such file or directory and when i type aplay -l I get aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found....



Ubuntu does find my soundcard when i type lspci -v | grep -i audio, it returns following:



00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 High Definition Audio Controller


Also cat /proc/asound/cards gives cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory



I have tried to reinstalling alsa-base, alsa-utils and linux-sound-base, and also tried



sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2


with no success.



The sound settings show a "Dummy output" as speaker.



sudo lspci -vnn | awk -vRS= '/Audio device/'


Generates this:

  • As root, run rmmod snd-hda-intel; modprobe snd-hda-intel. Are there any new messages in the system log?

  • try booting with live usb and see if sound is working ok. if sound is working there it is something you changed after installing. if still no sound it could be hardware problem.
