Hi guys,

I'm having a lot of trouble getting sound out of my Alienware M17x. I've attached the output from alsa-info. I'm running kernel version 2.6.28 with ALSA driver version 1.0.18.

1.0.18 is very old. Any chance to try the later version?

I'm now running with the latest version (1.0.21), initially with the same results. After some fiddling I've managed to get the headphones working by adding:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. But still no speakers.

Try model=intel first. This will use the BIOS setup together with GPIO1.
