Please deinstall sl-modem-daemon (or kill slmodemd) if it's installed
(or running). If that is insufficient (or you don't have
sl-modem-daemon installed), install
linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and reboot.

I add the following line to the /etc/modprobe.

d/options file :

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

I went to the console and tipped :

echo 'options snd-hda-intel model=laptop' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options

Done this by dyscovering the Bug #282116 reported by Radzian

Thanks a lot :D

Note that there is an existing quirk for your laptop:

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x19c3, "ASUS F5Z/F6x", ALC662_ASUS_MODE2),

Are you sure that you weren't encountering the slmodemd issue?

Hi onnix,

Please, if you are still having issues, test with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p alsa-base 476744

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

Please let us know your results.
