Hi,
I am running Kubuntu 8.10 64-bit and have no sound. Using the distribution supplied Alsa version, I was at one point able to have sound through just the headphone jacks, but after using this script ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137&highlight=alsa+upgrade) and trying to upgrade to the latest version 1.0.19, I have no sound at all. Attached is my alsa-info.txt file to help in debugging what is wrong.
- Name your Ubuntu revision: Kubuntu 8.10 64-bit
- Kernel revision: 2.6.27-11-generic
- Alsa revision: 1.0.19
- A bit of background what you've done resp. done before:
I have tried multitudes of values in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, nothing seems to work. Saw in changelog for Alsa 1.0.19 there were many changes geared toward HP dvX series laptops, seems to have no effect with mine.
Try model=hp-dv5 with the very latest alsa-driver snapshot below ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
If you have a luck, it may work. Some HP dv4 model seems to have a broken BIOS while some has a correct one.
