[alsa-devel] Ubuntu sound problem - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1073090

[jesse fillion]

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"

#> 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...

#> 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.
 
 
 Jesse
