[Mint] [Solved] Linux mint - No sound on Speakers, but heaphones work.

This is very similar to the issue I had in Ubuntu, however the fix was not the same,

here is what you do:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf 

And on the last line add this line:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=hp

To the bottom of the file.

now, we have to modify it to work with your computer,

run this:

inxi -A

the output should look like:

Audio:     Card: Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel

           Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ver: 1.0.24

and  where it says 'snd_' 

that's the driver you need,  if it's not 'snd-hda-intel' 

then use what ever your output was instead.

next for your model,
it should be your pc's manufacturer, here is the full list:

save the file, and reboot!

and now you're done!

Note:
Just in case you have come from reading the Ubuntu version of this Fix,
No, you do not have to block the RTC module.
(if you have not read the Ubuntu version, ignore this note.)

Moving to Linux Mint.

Hey guys,
I just moved to Linux mint!
Don't worry, I'll still be posting here, because mint is based off Ubuntu the steps should work on either.

If I make an article for just mint, it will be labeled [Mint]

As for why I'm leaving Ubuntu, it's noting personal, I don't dislike it, or hate unity.
I've spent some time in both, unity, and Gnome 3.

It's just with all the issues I've had to fix by hand, and all the half installed drivers, broken dependencies, and messed up config files, (all caused by me) it began to have some issues.

I won't go in to details. but I saw some video about mint. and I liked the gnome2/3 hybrid desktop.
and some of it's cool features, so instead of re-installing ubuntu for the 3rd time on this laptop,
I decided to try something new. the past two years I was ubuntu->debian->ubuntu->fedora->ubuntu.
So I'm trying something else.

[Fix] Ubuntu Speaker not working, but headphones are!

This will be my last update as a ubuntu user (for a while at least)
I'll be switching to mint tonight!

sudo gedit  /etc/modules

change the line:
rtc

to:

#rtc

---
save, and reboot.
it should be working fine now.
