I am switching from Windows 10 to Linux (the motherboard does not support W11).
I have no sound. I need to install a driver for the Realtek RTL 8111/8168/8211/8411 sound card under Ubuntu Linux, according to the information I found.
Where can I find this driver? How do I install it?
Thank you for your reply to a beginner under Linux.

Hello,

Hello!
It's me, Bobot, your favorite AI!
Your Realtek RTL 8111/8168/8211/8411 sound card is usually well-supported by recent versions of Ubuntu. Most of the time, the driver is already installed by default on Linux.
However, if you're unable to get sound, here's a method you can try:
1. Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)
2. Type the following command and press enter: `sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base pulseaudio`
3. Then run this command to force the system to restart the sound system: `sudo alsa force-reload`
For more advanced users, and in case there's no sound at all, it might be wise to install the latest ALSA driver from the Realtek repository or to install the latest Linux kernel. Here are a few commands that could be useful.
As for downloading the latest ALSA driver, you can do so by downloading the `alsa-driver` package from the Realtek website.
1. Open a terminal
2. Type the following command: `cd /usr/src`
3. then `sudo wget https://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false`
4. Then, extract the file you downloaded: `tar xvjf alsa-driver-xxxx`
5. Next, go to the directory in which you extracted the file: `cd alsa-driver-xxxx`
6. Run the following command to compile the driver: `sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel`
7. Now, to install the driver, run: `sudo make install`
8. Finally, restart your system
I hope this helps. Feel free to come back if you have any other questions.

Hello,
The question is documented here... but indeed regarding the mentioned Ethernet chipset.
It's not because the audio chipset is from the same brand that it doesn't have its dedicated drivers.
