One of my nephew just bought this NVidia GT240 for his desktop replacing the old 6600 and complaining about not having audio when playing youtube contents. The audio from music files have no problem at all, just the audio from youtube and other streaming site that cannot play from Firefox. The card has a HDMI output port and it seems that this video card has a sound chip on it, I guess it somewhere related with the HDMI sound channel output. I’m not really sure, maybe during streaming media playback is launch they were try to find a corresponding audio output for their media content and somehow found the audio hdmi chipset on this vga as a default audio output channel so the audio was sent through it. So …, did a quick look on the net and investigating the /etc/modprobe.conf file for an onboard soundcard settings. Did a quick and dirty modification to modprobe.conf file, Reboot and now I have sound everywhere.
Here is the modification :
From :
alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
To :
alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
alias sound-slot-1 snd_cmipci
remove snd_cmipci /sbin/modprobe –first-time -r –ignore-remove snd_cmipci
install snd_cmipci /sbin/modprobe –first-time –ignore-install snd_cmipci
Someone also said on that forum that he had similar problem with his ATI Radeon HD 4350, but has different parameter to make it work,
From :
alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
To :
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd_hda_intel index=1
Thank you for the OP for this trik.
