This may feel a dumb question at this point, but was the situation like that out of the box?

    [deleted] Yes! From the very begging I felt that Solus was so polished yet so dump for not putting a short sound after logging or unlocking...then I got to my favorite Youtube to find out that despite W10 giving me problems with Wi-fi and Solus being perfect it's quite the opposite for Sound.
    Probably you would agree that Solus is almost useless without sound...

        Astonishingly, I've met a number of people who mute all sound on their computer. I don't understand it..but it's their right 🙂

          dbarron I do mute all the sounds of my computer apart from the music/video player. Why should a computer be noisy? I like quietness, what's the aim of having a noise when you turn on your computer, turn it off, etc...

          Why not adding a sound when you turn off your car, when you turn on your TV, when you turn on your shower, when you open a door in the house, when you sit on the toilet, when you open a book, when you turn on/off the light, when the heating system starts/stops.... 🔉

              That actually seems to be a common issue with ALC892, based from what I googled.

              Try this and reboot
              echo "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

              Report back whether that has solved your issue.

                  kyrios You are right- it's just bad habit from W10...I even stop the sound most of the time, but logging sound sounds like the system is OK so it feels good xD
                  But noisly or music for concentration if a huge free bonus to have and for that I need sound as well for watching videos.

                    kyrios Well, I'm a unique animal, I kinda like the pc action sounds, hate music (oh yeah...rare bird), and hate beeping appliances like the microwave. If it weren't for pc notification sounds, occassional tv, and my dogs, I'd live in a mostly silent world. 🙂 It's all different strokes for different folks.

                      Emperor I guess the directory does not exists. Try to create it first then run the command:
                      sudo mkdir -p /etc/modprobe.d/

                          Emperor it is not about making combinations.
                          tee is a linux command:

                          ❯ whatis tee
tee (2)              - duplicating pipe content
tee (1)              - read from standard input and write to standard output ...
tee (1p)             - duplicate standard input


❯ tee --help
Usage: tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.

  -a, --append              append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
  -i, --ignore-interrupts   ignore interrupt signals
  -p                        diagnose errors writing to non pipes
      --output-error[=MODE]   set behavior on write error.  See MODE below
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

                            Open nautilus the file explorer and check if there is any folder with name "modprobe.d" inside "etc" folder.
                            so path is /etc/modprobe.d/
                            This command:
                            echo "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
                            adds: options snd-hda-intel model=generic
                            on alsa-base.conf file.
                            If the file doesn't exit, it will be created.
                            if it exists them the option -a will add a new line "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" at the end of file alsa-base.conf
                            without -a, it will overwrite everything and there will be only the line "options snd-hda-intel model=generic".

                              kyrios algent
                              Well I tried everything xD First created modprobe.d directory (via sudo command from kyrios)...
                              then used algent commands...and then the old commands from watpi...no result-so I restarted and this time there is digital HDMI...but there is no sound using either one of them:


                              I quick look at pulse audio shows there is still nothing other than digital output available.

                                    Emperor The screenshot shows that the command succeeded.

                                    Set auto-mute to disabled (via alsamixer). Then in pavucontrol select Internal Audio as device

                                        [deleted] auto-mute disabled, but don't know which is internal audio-I can't see such an option.

                                            Emperor What output devices do you see on pavucontrol?

                                                Emperor You need to set that as analog stereo duplex. Dunno why it says it's unplugged though.

                                                    [deleted] When I do that it's still the same...it's probably unplugged because it doesn't recognize it/detect it.
