[alsa-devel] Dell Studio 15 - aka Inspiron 1535 sound problems: HDA intel and codec IDT (STAC) 92HD73C1X5

Tue Aug 5 17:23:51 CEST 2008

hi, i own a brand new Dell laptop Studio 15

the audio speakers stay mute if i play an audio file. :-|

i'm using debian lenny kernel.

it seems to me a wrong port mapping. i put in place a newer Alsa 1.0.17
kernel modules with debug enabled, but still no sound.

i append some relevant info about HW, alsa dmesg and codec description

you can find more info about this laptop and the audio not workig here 
(look for audio support):

http://www.avalpa.com/assets/andrea/studio15/debian_on_dell_studio15.html

this is the dmesg detection WHEN i tried to remove the Subsystem Id:
0x10280254 autodetection (because it catches my subsystem albeit it says 
"unknown Dell"!)

i'd really like to help more and try to solve myself the quirks of this
new laptop but this NID stuff with the port/mixer configuration is
really beyond a casual user workload.

let me know if you need more info.

bye

andrea Venturi
