Hi All
I just installed fresh Gentoo on my desktop. And I have no sound. When I run alsamixer it says "This sound device does not have any controls" and the chip info is empty.

Im pretty sure I have realtek 889 sound card
when I try to load realtek module i get error:
Code:
modprobe snd-hda-codec-realtek
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'snd_hda_codec_realtek': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)


Code:
lspci -k | grep Audio -A 2
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
   Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
   Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5)
--
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF110 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
   Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GF110 High Definition Audio Controller
   Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
02:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961


here is my kernel config:
Code:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SND_HDA
CONFIG_SND_HDA=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP_MODE=0
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT=m
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110 is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0132 is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054 is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CORE=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE=64


I will appreciate any help with this problem
Thank you

Code:
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter


Looks like the module was built for a different kernel.

In rare situations, this can be the right advice. Usually, a blind system wipe and reinstall is the wrong solution. If no one knows how it was wrong the first time, why would you expect him to get it right the second time?

OP: does dmesg show anything useful now? What is the output of id; aplay --list-devices?

Have you tried alsamixer as root? If it works there, then you just need to add yourself to the audio group. Seems simple, but it's easy to overlook.

its a fresh install and i could do new one. but I would do probably same way I did it in first place, since I don't know what is wrong with it now

Code:

dmesg |grep audio
[    1.000247] hdaudio hdaudioC0D2: Unable to bind the codec
[    1.238514] hdaudio hdaudioC1D0: Unable to bind the codec
[    1.238787] hdaudio hdaudioC1D1: Unable to bind the codec
[    1.239068] hdaudio hdaudioC1D2: Unable to bind the codec
[    1.239347] hdaudio hdaudioC1D3: Unable to bind the codec


it is my old Desktop. and it had Gentoo running on it for last 4 years. the only thing is new is SSD hard drive.
Thank you again
