No sound with Realtek ALC1150 Debian 3.16.7

#1 Post by DataSolver »

I am unable to get any sound out of my Debian system. I am trying to use the line out jack on the motherboard. There is no other sound card installed. The Realtek is part of a Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI motherboard.

I have tried:
  • unmuting sound (both with 'amixer sset Master unmute', and alsamixer
  • Seems to find sound card and device OK (see outputs below)
  • Switching between HDMI and DVI cable to monitor (thinking the HDMI audio device was becoming activated)
  • speaker-test, hangs on default, says resource busy (same as aplay) when I use hw:0,0, which I think is the device I want
  • aplay <files> (see below)
Seems like marco (MATE desktop manager is keeping sound card busy (see lsof output)? Does not play sound through Firefox browser as well.
I also tried building driver from Realtek source, but got a compile error, and based on other posts, not sure that would fix the problem so stopped pursuing that angle.
Thanks.
