Sony Vaio VGN-397XP Ubuntu 14.04 no sound / audio / sound?

Have no sound on my Vaio VGN-397XP neither headphones nor speakers. In the volume mixer output device is always on digital S / PDIF output and there's nothing else to select.

The Sony Beguessungsound before booting is ok.

detected device in Alsamixer 1.0.27.2 / (k4.4.0-031 generic): HDA Intel, Chip Realtek ALC260

Did various things in the mixer tried (also mute cancel, take care) without success, have also tried basic position.

I also tried a lot in Pulse Audio.

The laptop I bought with a formatted hard drive and have Ubuntu 14.04 replayed.

I once tried my old hard drive with Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 7 with exactly the same error.

With Windows 7, installing the sound driver always resulted in only a brief cracking in the speakers.

What else can I do? Please describe exactly.

Install pavucontrol via 'apt install pavucontrol' and see if you can fix it.

What does he have for hardware?

Yesterday and today I already tried everything and selected without success

Pentium M760 2GHZ, 2GB RAM (but only 1GB detected), 250 GB FP, audio: HDA Intel, chip Realtek ALC260, otherwise nothing connected

Do not annoy for a long time, off to the barrel with it.

You gosh, that's almost antique [and I thought my T60 is old] 8-O

What does the equipment look like?

How much memory?
Which CPU with which clocking?
Which graphics chip?

Show what is being spent:

lspci -nnk | grep -EiA 2 audio
aplay -l
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
ps -C pulseaudio
journalctl | grep egg 'sound | alsa | pulse'
lsmod | grep "snd"

and please put in code tags or upload on a https://linuxhase.de/paste/.

What else can I do?

It is best to choose a distribution that manages well with low resources.

Everything selected without success

This statement does not help troubleshooting, we need error messages, e.g. From the log files like here:

sudo journalctl | grep -Ei 'error | fail' || sudo dmesg | grep -Ei 'error | fail'

Pentium M760 2GHZ, 2GB RAM (but only 1GB detected),

According to the specification, 1 gigabyte is also the highest that the motherboard can handle!

Either you install a slim, better still very slim distribution (AntiX, SliTaz, Puppy, TinyCore ect) or you bring the device to the Recyclehof of your city / municipality for the proper disposal.

So the best 1GB memory purely (I have there) and with other system try maybe then the sound or?

Nice website and cool service. But you should say goodbye to PHP 5.6 as soon as possible, see https://www.heise.de/...91009.html

Your non-working sound has nothing to do with RAM, so it does not matter if you use the 2gb bar or the 1gb bar; it would only be waste.

I would advise you to AntiX, because it is based on Debian and thus somewhat compatible with Ubuntu.

Linux Hase

Yes you are probably right.

Ok, I'll try it now

I would advise to use a current distribution. Best of all the current Ubuntu LTS release (18.04). Alternatively, with so little memory, the use of Xubuntu 18.04 or possibly Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 is certainly not the wrong idea. Ubuntu 14.04 is hopelessly outdated.

Yesterday I installed Antix. Sound is not yet.Bin still trying.

Ton, I say.

Healthy new.
