Dear all,
I have come to your website after A LOT of googling and searching in
forums. I have just started using Linux (literally, a week ago) and
understand VERY little about computers...
Long story short, I cant find the soundcards on my Linux Mint 17.3 (despite
them being installed). So I get no sound. After much digging it looks like
the drivers for the two cards are not installed: (inxi output)
Audio: Card-1 Intel Device a170 bus-ID: 00:1f.3
Card-2 Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde/Pitcairn HDMI
Audio [Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series]
bus-ID: 01:00.1
The driver manager shows that I have the below installed, in terms of
drivers
xserver-xorg-video-ati version 1:7.3.0
It seems (as per your website) that there are some issues with Radeon 7800
in terms of (I quote):
-
Audio over HDMI or DisplayPort
- Multiple cards sharing output connectors
Is there something I need to do / I can do to get sound? Can I get
something from your website or do I need to wait?
Could you please help me? I am really really lost and about to throw in the
towel. If it is a matter of time, I can wait (ie for drivers to be there)
but I really dont know what to do. My kernel version is, btw, 3.19.0-32
Many thanks in advance for ANY guidance!
Judith
