[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:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt

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.)

[Fix] Ubuntu 12.10 Can't Log in to unity or Gnome3?

Hey everyone,

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 and I forgot the little thing about, not downloading the ubuntu distro updates the day they come out.... may programmers may have not made compatibility patches, and ubuntu it's self can be a little bit unstable...

Any way, what's done, is done.

So after the install was complete, I rebooted. And I was greeted with the ubuntu 11.04 grub menu (the all purple one {boring!}  )  and then a new, fancy log in screen.

So I typed my password, and about halfway through the a wifi Login box came up, asking for a Wep key for a access point I accidently clicked on months ago {neighbors wifi} anyway,
I closed the box, turned off WiFi and hit enter.

After this the screen flash back for a second, and returned me to the login screen, so I typed it again, making sure Capslock was off. Same outcome, black screen then back to login,

I tried to use Unity, and it would just hang, I'd type my password, and it would just sit their with the spinning circle thing.

So, I rebooted and tried again. Same outcome on unity/gnome3

Luckily I had LXDE installed.
(you can do this with {Ctrl}{Alt}{F6} but you'll need to be connected to the internet,
wired works better, because for some reason, it could not load my wifi setup)

--The Fix--
I was able to fix this by first turning back on the sources that the update turned off,
from 'software sources'

then I ran:
sudo apt-get update --install-missing
followed by:
sudo apt-get upgrade
And I verified Gnome was still installed with:
sudo apt-get install gnome-sessionand it should say:
gnome-session is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

then Just Reboot, and you should be able to login.
It will take some time for the first boot,
Your favorites may not show up for around 2-3mins.

Also your extensions will need to be updated, so may of them will be disabled.

Enjoy!

And I hope this helps you out!
