[566GE, Realtek ALC880, Line Out, N/A] No sound at all

[Alex Myers]

The sound does not work. I was able to get the sound to work by installing kernel 3.0.0 and worked.. but made the system lock up.

do your gateway 566GE have spdif or CD ?

try model=3stack

refer to figure 11 of Intel D915GAG

Raymond you are going to have to help me out a little more than that.. lol, tell me what to do, such as: open terminal and type:

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

add the following line at the end of the file

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

and rebooted.

[Alex Myers (myersg2013)]

and what do you mean by spdif or CD?

[Alex Myers (myersg2013)]

ok, I just added it. let me reboot

[Alex Myers (myersg2013)]

I can hear! thank you. I hope it stays fixed!

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

if the front panel support Jack detection

you need to send email to alsa devel mailing list to add ALC 880_FIXUP _3ST_AUTOMUTE similar to ALC880_FIXUP_6ST_AUTOMUTE and a PCI quirk for your gateway

Raymond, now how do I do that? sorry I am a little lost on what you want me to do.

[Alex Myers (myersg2013)]

Also, with headphones, if I plug them in, the speakers still work (sound plays out of them too) so I have to unplug the speakers from the computer to just use headphones.
