Hello,

I wish I was coming back to you with good news. I have tried the suggested addition to my modprobe. I added the line you gave me to the alsa-base file in my modprobe folder. I have attached it and you will notice that I took "mobile" out and replaced it with m4. Both options allow me to use audio through my headphone jack, but notice that the audio buttons on my laptop funtion properly when I have m4 instead.

1. Ubuntu 8.10 2. kernel 2.6.27-14-generic 3. Alsa 1.0.19 4. AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16

I notice that when I try and update Alsa snapshot, I get errors. See alsa upgrade log.

I have also included my alsa-base file, uxchecker for addtional alsa related information and the actual alsa updater script that I used.

Nothing is muted from what I can see, I can hear audio through my headphone jack perfectly. Any help I could receive is truly greatly appreciated. Thank-you

We added the following to /etc/modprobe.conf:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=mobile

My boss and I just had the same issue with the same hardware (a couple of months ago). We were able to resolve the issue. However, I am not at work right now so I will have to get back with you tomorrow on our resolution.

Good afternoon,

My name is Jesse. Forgive me if this is not the correct address to be sending this type of request to, but I am looking for support in getting the Alsa drivers to work correctly with HP DV4 laptops. The DV4 1228ca has a Azalia RS780 soundcard. I have the ability to hear music through the headphone jack, but not the internal speakers (please see ubuntu forum for additional information). I would truly appreciate any information you could provide. Thank you.

Hi, I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and would be thrilled for any assistance anyone can provide me with this problem. I have an HP DV4 1228ca. Just like everyone, I did have sound through my front audio jack and could listen to with headphones. Unfortunately after trying all of your helpful suggestions, I don't even have audio in my front jack anymore. If I go into my sound properties, it doesnt seem to recognize my sound card anymore. I beleive this has to do with the entry in the alsa base file. Here are my results:

"[code]#> ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors #> make"

winblows@ubuntu:~/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver$ make make dep make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver/acore' copying file alsa-kernel/core/info.c /home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver/utils/patch-alsa: 24: patch: not found make[2]: *** [info.c] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver/acore' make[1]: *** [dep] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver' make: *** [include/sndversions.h] Error 2

#> sudo make install-modules

This is where my noobishness may shine through. I wasn't quite sure what to take from the make process above so I continued... winblows@ubuntu:~/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver$ sudo make install-modules [sudo] password for winblows: find /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound -name 'snd*.*o' | xargs rm -f find /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound -name 'snd*.*o.gz' | xargs rm -f find /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound -name 'ac97_bus.*o' | xargs rm -f find /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound -name 'ac97_bus.*o.gz' | xargs rm -f make[1]: Entering directory `/home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver/acore' mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound/acore cp snd-hrtimer.ko snd-hwdep.ko snd-page-alloc.ko snd-pcm.ko snd-rawmidi.ko snd-timer.ko snd.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/sound/acore cp: cannot stat `snd-hrtimer.ko': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `snd-hwdep.ko': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `snd-page-alloc.ko': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `snd-pcm.ko': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `snd-rawmidi.ko': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `snd-timer.ko': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `snd.ko': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [modules_install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/winblows/Desktop/AlsaDriver/alsa-driver/acore' make: *** [install-modules] Error 1

#> sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [add 'options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5' sans quotes to the bottom of the file, even if you have a dv4, etc.]

I have tried each of the following, rebooting in between them:

options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv4

# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard options snd-pcsp index=-2 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard options snd-pcsp index=-2 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=hp=dv4 options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

I have also tried using the 3.4 compiler and "unstable" alsa snapshot package recommended by uticamarco.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most grateful. Thank you very much.
