No sound on internal speakers on June 2009 MacBook Pro

[Jeroen T. Vermeulen]

I just upgraded my June 2009 MacBook Pro from Karmic to Lucid. My sound card is now recognized, and analog headphones work, but the internal speakers still don't.

Hi Jeroen,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please 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 linux 551441

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.

Thanks in advance.

This problem was present throughout the Lucid beta. I can't reach the cdimage site right now (unsurprisingly, given the traffic it must be dealing with right now) but I've been running regular apt-get updates.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

This bug report was marked as Incomplete and has not had any updated comments for quite some time. As a result this bug is being closed. Please reopen if this is still an issue in the current Ubuntu development release http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . Also, please be sure to provide any requested information that may have been missing. To reopen the bug, click on the current status under the Status column and change the status back to "New". Thanks.

  * Disable the dbus-protocol by default, as there have been recent reports
    of crashes and race conditions, and upstream no longer finds the code
    trustworthy.
