The realtek is the packager of the chip - intel is the chip manufacturer, so Intel HDA is ok cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound ... alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel ... options snd-hda-intel model=ref index=0 the ref is important to let ALSA guess your audio card you can try other settings that match your hardware though: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m22 index=0 options snd-hda-intel model=gateway index=0 probe_mask=1 have a look at the ALSA Documentation for the proper settings you can check also the mixer settings (after initial setup they are switched OFF = NO SOUND) regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
