[Sound] ASUS G50Vt, sound doesn't work

[t0mdrew]

Hey all. I'm somewhat new to Linux, but I know basics. (I know my way around the terminal, etc.). Today I installed Debian 5.0 on my ASUS G50Vt laptop. I know ASUS laptops have a notorious problem with Linux and the headphone jack, but my problem seems to be different. I installed all of the ALSA drivers and tools, ran

Code: Select all

alsaconf

and picked my sound card (hda-intel). This was all fine and dandy, but my sound doesn't work. My built-in speakers don't play any sound. I checked

Code: Select all

alsamixer

and nothing is muted. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for a response! I tried appending /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base with the lines listed here, but it hasn't worked either. Would you mind telling me why you linked what you linked and why you quoted what you quoted?

Edit: Also, here are a few things that might help,

aplay -l

Sorry, can't help much more, I thought I point you to the documentation, because your model -is- listed.

How do you suggest I use this documentation? Which files should I read? Just because my model is listed doesn't mean I magically know what to do and where to look.

Solved this by the way. Had to update some stuff. Thanks anyway.

I'm have the same model too. And I have the same problem too. How did you solve this problem? Earlier I used alsa linuxant build package. But it seems this package doesn't work with the newest kernel

Oh. I get it. The solution on linlap(http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Asus+G50V#sound) still works. Restarting service didn't help. I just need too reboot computer.
