What does aplay -l show

3

It shows:

[toby@toby-swiftsf31552 ~]$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:279: keine Soundkarten gefunden ...

What in English means: no soundcard found

4

Tip: use

LANG=C

in front of a command to make it output English.

And welcome!

I don’t know if this will work but you could try it. Under /etc/modprobe.d/inteldsp.conf

add

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1

After you would have to reboot and see if it works.

inteldsp.conf

doesn’t exists in this folder on my system :confused:

You have to create it with

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/inteldsp.conf

add

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1

Then press Ctrl + o and then enter to save
Then Ctrl + x to exit nano

Then reboot.

Edit: You could also use kate to create this file in the folder and save.

Thank you very much, it worked this way !

If you enter aplay -l in the terminal it should list the sound card now!

Edit: Just wanted you to check it so you can see what it’s supposed to show for the sound cards. Afterwards please mark the post that provided you with the solution.
