Comment 56 for bug 195605

All these audio chipset problems are related to the hardware support in the Linux kernel component for audio called 'ALSA', http://www.alsa-project.org/
The place where these issues are resolved is the mailing list called 'alsa-devel' (at http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel).

The general idea is that for each case of hardware problem, we file reports here on launchpad.net and then we contact alsa-devel for help. If you are an end-user, you probably do not need to contact alsa-devel yourselves.

As an end-user with the affected hardware, what you need to do in order to help solve your audio chipset problem is to obtain the audio hardware details of your computer and make it available here.
To do so, you can open a terminal window and run the command

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh

You will be prompted to send the details to the alsa-project.org website. Answer Yes and then post the URL with the details in the bug report. The URL looks something like 'http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fd4e474d6a86b436ec099186793df142a2b94170'.

Your audio hardware will be fully supported if you do not need to specify manually an 'options' line; it should just work.
