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.

                                                Emperor Does it work on another operating system?

                                                Try echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

                                                    [deleted] Wow...now the combination of using analog stereo duplex and the command got the sound working 😀
                                                    But from time to time it gets back to digital...also the front jack is just not working...I had to connect the jack directly to the motherboard outputs...on the 1st only left speaker works..on the 3rd only the right works and on the 2nd both of them work! But they work in many modes like 5.1 or 7.1 or just analog stereo...not sure which one to use...also the sound from both speakers is a little strange(maybe just that I used only the right one thinking the left one is broken).
                                                    But now when they work I lost my sound on W10 xD
                                                    Got it to work for a little but it was strange as in Solus and there was only music-the voice of the speaker is so low that it's very hard to hear it.

                                                    Speaker fill option is the difference between sound working bad and not working at all...
                                                    Also on the folder on the top right there is an option to dissable front panel jack detection...if it's not used the front jack would not work-so if there is an analog of this in Solus it would make front panel work 🙂

                                                        Emperor It's a matter of fiddling with alsamixer and pavucontrol. Some soundcards are tricky. Basically you just need to use the right output device.
