Solution 2: switch from the Realtek audio driver to the Windows native audio driver. (Start a new thread if need instructions.). Issue 5 (9350): If running Linux Mint, if you install the TLP power management tool, could get popping noise when audio starts and stops.Solution: This thread has instructions for.

You have a Realtek ALC1150 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC, Supports S/PDIF Output. OK, so that's a kernel and alsa thing. First, update your motherboards BIOS if you haven't already(And No, I'm not kidding- update it). You didn't give me your full model number- there are 10 variants of that motherboard. So I can't tell you what it should be.

Open a command prompt. Enter root pw(normally you do sudo, but there is too much shit to do).

Then enter this. Apt update apt install dkms apt dist-upgrade wget -i *.deb --==========Now reboot!=========- Open terminal.

Add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily apt update apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-lts-xenial-dkms ---============ Now reboot again. I know you have questions and lots of trust issues, and are likely to be peeing yourself right now, but let me explain what's happening. We're upgrading the kernel to the latest drivers because you have a brand ass new motherboard(which you updated the BIOS for before you attempted this, yes?). Next we upgraded the sound drivers to the latest which is kernel embedded and called ALSA. And dkms was enabled at the front end so your existing kernel modules(and ALSA) could be ported to your new kernel(4.7). But since this is LM 18 and you have AMD, those drivers are in the kernel- which you just updated. So yay for you.

No graphics card dkms modules to worry about. And after that you can look though your sound options and I suspect you'll notice a few more things working. Also, you can now remove the daily alsa PPA if you so desire with this command: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily That will leave your alsa file intact. Hp Compaq Nx6125 Sound Drivers For Windows Xp. If you did 'sudo apt-get install ppa-purge;sudo ppa-purge ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily' it would remove the associated files. They call that graceful. I call it broken.

In any case, you have an adventure ahead of you Froyo Baggins. PS- What we are doing is partially documented here: I just made it more awesome. PPS- Linux Mint 18 = Ubuntu 16 = Xenial. If you see those packages, you can install them. It's the same OS. Look through launchpad.net once you get comfortable with Linux and you'll find all the random shit you need to bring your system up to speed.

Even more awesome.
