i don't have speakers
[ Error writing /etc/modprobe.d/sound.blacklist.conf: Permission denied ]
Sorry, I should have edited the original guide that I copied. Put 'sudo' in front of that command. Having gone back and looked, at the top it states:
"Type as a root or a sudo inside a terminal:"
i have 2 of "snd_hda_intel" wouldn't blacklisting it remove both?
If no other sound source then just choose the card with the higher number, so if one is numbered 0 and the other 1, remove the one named with 1.
i restarted now and there is no sound or noise
OK, delete the .conf file, open a terminal and try this:
rm -r ~/.config/pulse; pulseaudio -k
terminal showed nothing after i hit enter, and still there is no sound 
What happens with
sudo pavucontrol
?
it's been like 15 minutes, it's stuck on loading screen
Gday @OddToast ,
i assume you have a desktop pc? Not a laptop. (is this correct?)
If yes, does your headset have only one 3.5mm pin?
If yes, does your pc have 2 x 3.5mm ports or just one 3.5mm port?
Sorry, that didn't work. I will miss the cake.
As @Ocka is asking more information about your device I can suggest share us the output of:
inxi -Fxxxz
I will stay out of this conversation for now as I have very less experience with debugging the Hardware related issues.
(Question for Ocka: Will changing the kernel solve the issue?)
Yes changing the kernel maybe a solution, but i would tend to leave main changes until it becomes obvious,
I'd be more inclined to have users update the BIOS/UEFI,before kernel change. (As Most people have never updated their BIOS/UEFI).
Yes i should have asked more questions in my 1st reply but was hoping it was a simple issue.
My reasoning is the high pitch noises being heard, makes me think hardware issue.
I'm not sure if the OP is a little confused of the terminology, as they mention "Legacy BIOS",<(doesn't have "secure boot" , yet the op says it's disabled?)
& i'm at a loss that the OP has no speakers (hence i assume it's a D/T, not a L/T.)
I'm picturing the OP seeing the 2 x 3.5mm ports & one has the headset (earmuffs) Icon, & the other has the Mic Icon, & the OP is trying to use the Headset Icon port with an all-in-one 3.5mm pin..

You could check if your BIOS is up-to-date. Otherwise see if @Ocka comes back with a reply.
(At least we can now understand why you don't have speakers)
how do i check
