sudo apt-get install alsa

reboot if it works yay and don't follow the next steps
open terminal

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

enter password a document should pop up

at the end of the document copy and paste this

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1

SAVE the document and reboot and hopefully it works

Still no sound.
Why isn't there a Linux that works with HP DVseries laptop sound card.

When I test each sound option. The Test ALL Pass but I don't have any sound (Even autodetect). I'm thinking what if I load up ALL the possible Sound option and tried all of them.

Have u made sure that alsamixer or Ossxmix are unmuted
in the terminal type

Code: Select all

sudo alsamixer

and see if its not muted or not

Jeahavee ,

Here is what you need to do to get your sound to work

16. Audio Subsystem

On Ubuntu Linux Jaunty 9.04, Ubuntu Linux Hardy 8.04 and Ubuntu Linux Intrepid 8.10 the audio subsystem is mostly supported (multichannel autoconfiguration support is due in Ubuntu 9.10)

NOTE: In order to enable the internal microphone in recent models series HP Pavilion DV4, HP Pavilion DV5 and HP Pavilion DV7 you need to add an argument to the main configuration file [thanks to Enrico!].

Open in an editor file alsa-base.conf

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

add at the bottom line (ensure there are no other lines starting with ‘optios snd-hda-intel’ in they are delete them)

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 enable_msi=1

This way you would gain access to the mixer ‘digital input’ section which would enable you to use the notebook internal microphone. Remember to reboot to make these changes effective!

Bug reference: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12440

Very recent models may have a few issues with microphone and multichannel audio. They can try out latest pulseaudio 0.9.15 (for autoconfiguration issues) and latest alsa 1.0.18 (for multichannel and microphone support).

PULSEAUDIO

To install the updated deb packages by hand download it from http://ppa.launchpad.net/themuso/ppa/ub ... ulseaudio/ and double click on the downloaded .deb file. Done it!

If you instead want to have it automatically updated at every new release all you have to do is adding its repository as a third party software source in System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Third Party Software: click on ADD button and paste

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/themuso/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

You also have to add the PPA authentication key:

Code: Select all

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv B88A1AA8
gpg --export --armor B88A1AA8 | sudo apt-key add -

Update the package lists and upgrade the prompted packages

ALSA

If you have decided to try the latest drivers you can use the Bob Nelson script which I have further tweaked in order to prompt you with a choice among few most common modes to try out (download it from here).

Beware that these drivers, despite being stable, do not have any Ubuntu specific patch.

This script supports the following chipsets:

Intel HD Audio ICH6, ICH6M, ESB2, ICH7, ICH8, ICH9, ICH10, PCH, SCH
ATI SB450, SB600, R600, RS600, RS690, RS780, RV610, RV620, RV630, RV635, RV670, RV770
VIA VT8251/VT8237A,
SIS966, ULI M5461

After downloading it you need to change the permission of the script and make it executable, in a terminal type:

Code: Select all

chmod 755 alsa_setup

This command assumes you downloaded the script in your home folder.

What this script does is:

- Download the ALSA modules

- Compile the modules

- Enables you to test different module options to see which one best suits you [new]

- Enables you to test the driver with different configurations [new]

- Enables you to undo the changes in case you’ve done the wrong mode choice [new]

- Change your

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file

- Remove the installer files

To run the script type in terminal window

Code: Select all

sudo ./alsa_setup

to see what is your audio CODEC go to System->Preferences->Sound and simply click on any drop down menu to read the code next to HDA Intel (i.e. ALC800)

now confront what mode better suits your specific CODEC by having a look at file

Code: Select all

alsa-driver-1.0.19/alsa-kernel/Documentation/HD-Audio-Models.txt

If you need to add a mode not listed in the provided script type in terminal (where auto should be replaced with the correct codec mode)

Code: Select all

sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Users of recent models (eg. dv4-1117) also benefited from enabling Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI)

Code: Select all

sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Found this.Looks like it attacks the problem at the source.Look at post #4.

ummm....PULSEAUDIO

FAIL. Couldn't find which one cus I got to many choices and as I go threw them I keep getting a STATUS: Error: Wrong architecture 'Ipia'
I would need the right pack so I can install it.

bash: deb: command not found

Also ALL THIS INFORMATION is great but confusing VERY CONFUSING. If I could give you the specs could you find which ones so I only have one choice or one way to go or at least I'll know where I need to go with this.

[Hawks-SOAD]

hey choose pulseaudio_0.9.15-3ubuntu1~ppa2_amd64.deb to download as you are using a 64bit system

[Jeahavee]

was able to install "all" amd64 things from the ... no sound though
