Thanks, a few more questions.. sorry I don't understand most of this.. 1) hda-verb - I can't find this.. what is it? Where do I run it? 2) Inside of the snapshot, there are three steps (6, 7,8 below) that I need help with..
6 - i already have /dev/snd with some stuff in it... so, I won't run this step.. 7 - edit it to do what? 8 - I dont know the name of my card..
6) Run the './snddevices' script to create new sound devices in /dev directory. Skip this step, if you have already /dev/snd/* files, or if you're using a DEVFS or udev.
7) Edit your kernel module config (either /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf, depending on the kernel version). If you are not sure, what to do, you may try the alsaconf script available in the alsa-utils package.
8) Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card. Note: All ALSA ISA drivers support ISA PnP natively, so you don't need isapnptools any more. Don't use both together. It will conflict. For disabling the ALSA ISA PnP support, specify --with-isapnp=no configure switch.

Thanks, Takashi. I tried installing the latest snapshot but wound up recompiling a bunch of stuff (which my box is not configured for)... Is
there
an easy way to download and install the latest snapshot?
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
Is there a way to fix the 0x0d widget? BIOS flash? laptop seems kind of
new
for that...
Try the hda-verb command first to check whether it's really an issue of 0x0d.

Did you try the latest alsa-driver snapshot? If it still doesn't work, I guess this is a BIOS problem. The other HP dv laptops show the widget 0x0d as the speaker while yours is unused. Try to run: hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x0d SET_PIN_WID 0x40 Takashi
