Realtek High Definition Audio Linux
Gerarda Zmuda
Realtek chipsets all are part of the HDA standard and are usually all implemented onboard, what makes you think that the card you're seeing isn't just that? More of interest would be the codec which will likely point to some realtek device, what's your output of
Actually the sound output from laptop speaker lacks dynamic range and bass and sounds like low bit-rate mono which made me think the realtek chipset is not being utilized. Output of dmesg grep snd :
So the card is there and detected, whether it has bass or plays to more channels or whatever depends entirely on your configuration. If you haven't configured anything else you will get a simple stereo channel mix. Do you use pulseaudio? If you do you might want to post
One thing I suggest you do either way, is to up the resampler quality used in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf from the conservative default of speex-float-1 to some higher quality like speex-float-5 , which will help if your input source is to be resampled.
If you are generally unhappy with your sound you'd have to apply some form of software wide equalizer, pulseaudio provides quite a few possibilities for this. A very extensive example with a lot of options and possibilities is the pulseeffects package, which provides you with a nice GUI where you can mix and match relevant filters until you find something that sounds good, and then you can switch your applications to play back from the sink created by pulseeffects
Greetings,
So I am a kind of a newbie on linux system, and I need help to configure the sound on my Desktop PC, I have adual boot configuration with Windows 10 and on windows I also didnt have sound until manually I installed the realtek audio Codec (Realtek HDA driver 6.0.1.7533) wich fixed the sound problems.
I use a headphone amplifier (jds labs atom) connected with jack3.5mm directly in motherboard.
