I’ve recently installed Ubuntu Jaunty on an HP Pavilion dv6-1110ss and everything I tried worked fine except for one thing: there was no sound.
After searching for a while and trying out some stuff, the solution is easy. Just open file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the following lines:
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-m4
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
(Before finding the previous solution I tried upgrading ALSA -following this instructions- so I’ve tested this with ALSA 1.0.20, but I guess 1.0.18 should work aswell).
im very new to the ubuntu .. so new i just installed it yesterday . i went to the folder that you said and inserted the text that you have given and the bottom . but it wont let me save it says
You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
if you could please help me with this it would be greatly appreciated
thank you for your time ..
@tattoo: You have to open the file as admin. For that, press Alt+F2 and write into the dialogue which will show up: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
You’ll be asked for your password and after that the text editor will show up but this time you’ll be able to save.
When I am trying to open the file as admin I am asked for my password. After entering te password nothing happens. I get no text editor. Can someone help me?
Maybe you are using KDE? If that’s the case, try “gksudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf”.
You absolute legend! I’ve been trying to get my sound back through speakers since installing 12.04… this did it, thankyou soooo much!
