Need help getting audio working on Intel miniPC

[debianwannabe]

I have a miniPC powered by Intel Atom Z3735F and started testing to run Debian on it.
After a successful netinstal i noticed that the audio is not working.




I guess is has something to do with incompatible drives, after searching and testing different solutions i have to turn to the experts for advice.
Im not sure how to check what Audio chip is integrated in this device, other then checking the drivers info in Windows.

Here a screens from windows about the hardware:

Right click to see the full image and Device Manager details.






If anyone is intrested to see the device in action i have make a short video:

A quick search brought up https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/ ... 00084.html which suggests that your audio driver is not in debian.
Try installing the liquorix kernel and see if it works: http://liquorix.net/

Thanks, i never thought of using the search term "Bay Trail".

I have never installed a kernel before, is it as simple as just running following command?

Code: Select all

apt-get install linux-image-liquorix-686 linux-headers-liquorix-686

NO.

See the instructions on the liquorix page.(!)

sources.list:

edit /etc/apt/sources.list with your favourite editor, add

deb http://liquorix.net/debian sid main
deb-src http://liquorix.net/debian sid main

# apt-get update

# apt-get install liquorix-keyring

# apt-get install linux-image-liquorix-686 linux-headers-liquorix-686

and

you have to be root to write to sources.list and don't forget to save and don't forget to # apt-get update

Note that if you are running Debian 7 Wheezy, the headers package will not be able to install, since it will depend on unavailable versions of gcc, such as gcc-4.9.

Yes, i did all steps logged in as root.

The question is if these steps will work on Debian 8.0 which im running on the box?

Its actually running Debian 8.0 Jessie.

OK managed to add the sources in the right place, as the path is not same as my debian 8 istallation.

I also managed to insall the kernel but got a surprice after reboot



So im back to square 1, i will reinstall Debian 8 from scratch and if anyone have any advice on the audio drivers issues let me know.

Did you ever install Wheezy and did sound work with it? I've recently installed Wheezy on my PPC Mini (2005) and sound wasn't working until I read I needed to remove the sound portion from the module/blacklist file. But upgrading to Jessie caused it not to work again and I haven't been able to sort it out!
