Soundcard not detected

[Andras Koczka]

The built-in speaker is not working, but when I plug the speaker in that works. It happened before, but after I plugged in and out the headphones that solved the problem. Now it does not help neither.

Please try updating your alsa drivers, as outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules. Please report back as to whether this helps at all.

Thanks. I updated the alsa drivers properly, but no change only the headphones worked and the speakers didn't.

I think I have the same problem like these guys here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845

I checked my card
Codec: Analog Devices AD1981
Codec: LSI ID 1040
from the list its:
basic 3-jack (default)
hp HP nx6320
thinkpad Lenovo Thinkpad T60/X60/Z60
toshiba Toshiba U205

The alsa-base file was empty therefore I modified the modprobe.conf file. Restart, no change.
I inserted a line into the alsa-base, restart and now neither the speaker is not working and I can not change back these files, the terminal respond with Permission denied answer.
Than I uninstalled the alsa-driver. No change.

What could I do, any advice?

[Andras Koczka (andras-koczka)]

The headphone is working now.
Sorry, I wrote wrong command in the terminal, so I CAN modify the files.

Anyway the same problem like the beginning, no speaker.
Any ideas, advice?
