Topic : Company Server: Moving to Linux

I am a small business owner and I am moving my servers to Linux, Centos to be specific. We have found it to be the most stable and secure. We have actually used Red Hat in the past but paying for the support was not worth it for us. As I have said we are small.

I found the blog has all kinds of useful info and I have been scrambling trying to learn enough to get going.

alright ok thanks for telling me this. I'm just going to install Linux Mint again, and I will not mind the fact that there is no sound, but I really appreciate all your help.

Topic : Installing Fedora Linux

I checked fedora and other distros for you particular chip for sound and the problem is the same. I located Fedora, Ubuntu and Linux Mint users who has similar problems with that sound chip.

Unfortunately, this is part of the hassle with Linux is that drivers are not easily acquired for some chips as they are made specifically for Microsoft and the source code to build drivers for some chips is not available.

Hi, its Rbrownlie again. I stopped using Linux Mint due to the fact thatit will not generate sound on my laptop. a member of this website recommended me to Fedora, and I have some trouble installing it. How do I start the installation?

ok, my computer is 64-bit and I don't care if I have to boot it from a cd or not, but I just want to have it while still having Vista. Anyone know a good amount of information on Fedora? I sent this link because I am not sure which one I should download...


I have uninstalled Linux Mint. I will not risk the files of my laptop because the sound does not work

I have experienced Mandriva before, but I know they don't double-boot. What about Fedora? can I install Fedora without deleting Windows Vista?


(sidenote) I used my cds mostly on buring Electric Light Orchestra or The Human League albums. That is why sound is important to me!

Topic : Installing Linux

The sound problem on HP laptops is an official bug of Ubuntu which Linux Mint is based on. Fedora, and Mandriva are also good options for beginners and probably don't have that issue. Too bad you're outta CDs

By the way, I must ask: is there another distribution of Linux that works with my laptop's sound, or are all Linux distros like this?

Here is your audio device:
00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383]

By default that will not work, ya...I realize you figured that out. So you will need to pass some info to the kernel. This may or may not work, it has worked for some. It is also important to note that you should have backed up any valuable stuff in case you have problems as I cannot replicate this as I do not have that laptop. So try at your own risk...though I think it will work or not with little risk. If it does not work remove the file.

Create a text file called a.conf and put this info in the file. Save it in the /etc/modprobe.d directory.

options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig probe_mask=1

Once this is in restart your laptop and check audio.

The only other option is to compile ALSA to work with this audio, I do not believe you want to tackle that.

Topic : Installing Linux

Thank you so much for trying to help me. I really appreciate it. Anyway, here is what I got:
reid@mint ~ $ lspci -nn | grep audio
reid@mint ~ $ lspci -nn grep audio
Usage: lspci [<switches>]

Basic display modes:
-mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an obsolete format)
-t Show bus tree

Display options:
-v Be verbose (-vv for very verbose)
-k Show kernel drivers handling each device
-x Show hex-dump of the standard part of the config space
-xxx Show hex-dump of the whole config space (dangerous; root only)
-xxxx Show hex-dump of the 4096-byte extended config space (root only)
-b Bus-centric view (addresses and IRQ's as seen by the bus)
-D Always show domain numbers

Resolving of device ID's to names:
-n Show numeric ID's
-nn Show both textual and numeric ID's (names & numbers)
-q Query the PCI ID database for unknown ID's via DNS
-qq As above, but re-query locally cached entries
-Q Query the PCI ID database for all ID's via DNS

Selection of devices:
-s [[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func> Show only devices in selected slots
-d [<vendor>]:[<device>] Show only devices with specified ID's

Other options:
-i <file> Use specified ID database instead of /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz
-p <file> Look up kernel modules in a given file instead of default modules.pcimap
-M Enable `bus mapping' mode (dangerous; root only)

PCI access options:
-A <method> Use the specified PCI access method (see `-A help' for a list)
-O <par>=<val> Set PCI access parameter (see `-O help' for a list)
-G Enable PCI access debugging
-H <mode> Use direct hardware access (<mode> = 1 or 2)
-F <file> Read PCI configuration dump from a given file

I have done some research on this laptop and it seems that pulse audio for sure is an issue. In the system/Preferences/Sound trying changing all to Alsa ...no pulse audio and restart the laptop.


Also run this command so I can see what sound card you have:

lspci -nn | grep audio

It is Linux Mint 7 Universal. I downloaded the 64 bit version (because my laptop is 64 bit) off the linux mint website


If you think that it made new PIDS then maybe its in this list again:

So it sounds like you have restarted or the sound has restarted and created new PIDs.

Here is one thing I should of asked from the start...are you using Linux Mint Main edition or the DVD that has all the drivers...Universal edition. If you are using main you may want to try the Universal edition.

Topic : Installing Linux

when i do it it just keeps saying kill: no such process.
this is more aggrivating than i thought it would be. At least it could still work...

I still think that linux is very cool and if this problem is fixed than i might just switch completely from windows to linux mint.

When you use the kill command you should use the PID number not the name of the application.

sudo kill 3407
sudo kill 3408

Those were the process IDs for pulse audio.

The chips will work with Linux, that probably is not the issue.
