Thanks for your attention, I dont have /dev/snd/hwC0D0 but I do have /dev/snd/seq /dev/snd/timer /dev/sndstat I guess I should try it on seq, but I'll await your advice

No, don't, that's wrong!

It's an odd situation. I guess you didn't install the driver properly. Otherwise you must have /dev/snd/control*, PCM, else.

How to install the alsa-driver externally depends on the distro. I'd advise you to ask on a distro forum about it at first. The rest debugging starts after you can install the sound drivers properly.

thanks,

Hm, just through a quick look at the output, there is no obvious
problem.  It's only the problem from speaker, not about the headphone,
right?

If so, the problem is likely the missing amplifier setup, which is
usually powered up via COEF verbs or GPIO verbs (ALC888/1200 have no
EAPD verbs).

Try to install hda-verb program and check the command below.

       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 7
       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 GET_PROC_COEF 0

Which value do you get?  What happens if you set

       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 7
       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0x3060
or
       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 7
       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0x3070
or
       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 7
       # hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0x0830
or so?
