Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series isn't being detected by any module

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 16700 / 2 Years ago, wed, september 7, 2022, 4:55:04

I have the same problem that the user in "Dummy Output in Ubuntu 14.04".

The difference is that cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec outputs:

cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec*: No existe el archivo o el directorio

(It's in Spanish, it means it cannot find the file or directory)

More info:

$ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel  

modprobe: FATAL: Module snd-hda-intel not found.



$ sudo alsa force-reload

Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded).

Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload).



$ sudo aplay -l

aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found... 



$ lspci | grep -i audio

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family 

    High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)



$ lspci -v | grep audio

(nothing)



$ locate snd-hda-intel

(nothing)



$ lsmod | grep snd

(nothing)

First, we need to know what type of audio hardware (if any) the system detects:

lspci -v | grep audio

And

:~$ lsmod | grep snd

Please run this command and post the output. Should be something like the following:

:~$ lspci -v | grep audio

00:1f.4 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 

  Audio     Controller (rev 02)

:~$

And

snd_intel8x0           38153  0

snd_ac97_codec        130285  1 snd_intel8x0

ac97_bus               12730  1 snd_ac97_codec

snd_pcm               102099  2 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0

snd_page_alloc         18710  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

snd_timer              29482  1 snd_pcm

snd                    69238  4 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0,snd_timer,snd_pcm

soundcore              12680  1 snd

:~$

Additional information for troubleshooting

What is the output of the following?

:~$ locate snd-hda-intel

Several users on other posts were able to get this audio chipset working by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

And add the following line:

options snd-hda-intel model=generic
