Hi All,
I have spent hours reading internet posts, trying code, reinstalling, removing, updating etc. The last thing I tried was reinstalling the kernel.
I am unable to get any sound to work.
Instead of me blindly leading you down the wrong alley, I want to start from the beginning. Please tell me the first step that I should do and we can walk through this together.

[Solved] No sound on Jessie
Re: No sound on Jessie
If your computer contains some recent released chipsets, it would help a lot to install stretch.
Check for common problems such as muted channels in alsamixer, or device not selected in pavucontrol.
Test with speaker-test or aplay. Watch terminal output and journalctl -f for traces of error.
Or if you could provide some more basic background infomation, it would make it easier for the other more experienced forum members to help you. Execute the following commands:
Select "OK -> UPLOAD/SHARE -> No"
The script will return a link http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, post the link here.

I do not see alsamixer. I am using XFCE if that matters. I see Audio Mixer but it open has dummy output.Bulkley wrote:I don't know if it is still the case but in the past the default for Alsa was OFF!. Open alsamixer and make sure that the master column is ON.
Re: No sound on Jessie
You have an invalid parameter 'index' for snd_hda_intel, which is causing it refuse to load, which causes no soundcard detected. Remove such option, possibly in /etc/modprobe.d/, and reboot.chadrick wrote:snd_hda_intel: index=#CARD NUM#
[ 10.999912] snd_hda_intel: `#CARD' invalid for parameter `index'
I would guess such an option was put there by yourself earlier when you were "reading internet posts, trying code" as you failed to replace the placeholder "#CARD NUM#" by the actual index.
That being said, although removing such an option would allow snd_hda_intel to load, but due to the fact that you put that invalid option there trying to fix audio, you would probably still hear no sound even if snd_hda_intel is loaded. If so, post back and we'll futher investigate the "original" issue. Or you might self-test before post again following the few instructions in post #2.
Run alsamixer in a terminal and check output channels. You probably would have to choose the sound card by pressing F6. Of course, you have to remove the invalid option first to let your sound card being detected.chadrick wrote:I do not see alsamixer.

Re: No sound on Jessie
You could let us know something about your hardware, just so we don't waste time trying to get something working on the Jessie kernel that never will.

Re: No sound on Jessie
That worked! Thank you very much! My daughter will be very happy to have sound back.orythem27 wrote: You have an invalid parameter 'index' for snd_hda_intel, which is causing it refuse to load, which causes no soundcard detected. Remove such option, possibly in /etc/modprobe.d/, and reboot.
