good day all
I recently installed Kali 1.0.6 Native AMD64
- I did a clean install, dual booting Windows and Kali, sound was working
- I booted into Kali, did some downloading of packages, etc. Sound was working!
- I rebooted as per usual to start off with fully functonal OS, no sound...?
- reboot 2, 3, 4... times, no sound???
inbetween these reboot with no sound, I tried different fixes, no luck
I do not know what is required, except for Windows I require VIA drivers for sound card
Linux - Alsa Mixer Chipset = Intel HDA PCH
module = intel_hda_pch (i think, im writing this from Windows boot)
fixes tried:
- tried force reloading alsa modules
- tried reinstalling alsa modules
- tried editing alsa-base with "options snd" string and changing model
- check that sound is not muted
I have had sound problems with ALL linu distros, from Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Backtrack, Kali (all Latest versions with latest kernels)
For what it is worth, I have a Mecer W550EU, with built in HD 4000 graphics, NO graphic card module
p.s. For every linux distro I have installed, sound works 1 reboot, next it doesn't, next 2-10 times no sound, then sound works for 1 reboot, then doesn't, etc.
