Audio not working [RESOLVED]

I am just install Bunsen and have no sound.

alsactl init give me No soundcards found and in alsamixer I can't select my card. 

But if I do lspci -nn |grep -i audio I see
00:06.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio [10de:0371] (rev a2).

How can I enable sound?

Re: Audio not working [RESOLVED]

please post the output of

lspci

is the nvidia your only sound card?
is it a seperate soundcard? i think inever heard of an nvidia soundcard before.

a quick search revealed a few interesting-looking results:

maybe, just maybe, the problem goes away when you install the proprietary nvidia driver...

Re: Audio not working [RESOLVED]

ok, HoaS agrees, a good sign.

i just wanted to see the lspci output to make sure there's no other soundcard in there.

vitaly, let us know how it goes with installing the nvidia driver.

Re: Audio not working [RESOLVED]

This might help too.

(don't pay attention to the DDM part, it's just a drivers installer tool in that distro. The topic is still relevant when drivers installation fails whatever method you used)

clearly that didn't work.
try
"sudo rmmod -vf snd_hda_intel"
followed by
"sudo insmod nvidia"

(disclaimer: your machine might hickup and freeze. be sure you save all important documents before and be prepared that you might have to reboot)

and post output of commands.

Re: Audio not working [RESOLVED]

yes, but does it change anything in your sound?

also, it seems you did not install the nvidia driver.

Re: Audio not working [RESOLVED]

Video driver is installed (for my PCI-E GeForce 6600 GT) - I see soft nvidia-settings that see my GPU. I rebooted PC and tried again this commands - nothing

As I remember this motherboard (M2N SLI DELUX) had Realtec AC97 audio...

I'm sorry for missing this issue, but doesn't that screenshot show the output channel as being muted? What happens if you click the Mute icon there?

Re: Audio not working [RESOLVED]

It seems like problem with my hardware... I tried Fedora and few others Live USB - I can't hear sound at this old PC.
