Playing with Wheezy. No sound from the onboard sound - Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)

Soundcard works and suse works the onboard sound no problem so I am assuming this is a drive issue. Googling

Debian driver C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)

has not turned up anything except sound troubleshooting so I am maybe not searching for the right thing?

now solved

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

And add the following line:

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

Save, reboot.

Once again I cannot work out how to mark this thread as solved. Perhaps someone could let me know. (Why doesn't this forum either have a control at the top of the page or else allow editing the subject?!)

For some reason I cannot edit the title of the first post. If someone can tell me how to do this I can mark it as solved

Thanks man, you saved my life

Wow. You made it easy. Thanks a lot!

Hey, So I've had the same problems as all of you, but I'm using Linux Mint Debian edition.

Your fix was somehow what I was looking for but in Linux Mint 15 Debian it didn't work what I had to use was:
options snd-hda-intel-model index=0

Thank you for pointing me to the right direction

Thanks for the info. Linux Mint 15 Debian is on my list to try.
