HP dv6 & dv7 hw not supported by module snd-hda-intel

[Caio Fratelli]

Hi everybody,
I'm running the latest Ubuntu Jaunty (alpha-5) and I have two HD Audio devices on my PC, a VIA VT1708/A HD Audio and a ATI HDMI Audio (from my ATI Radeon HD4650 card).
Well, sometimes when I boot up the machine, the system sets the VIA card as the default output and everything goes fine (because I want this card to be the default) and sometimes I got the ATI as the default and everything goes wrong until I change on "System -> Settings -> Sound" and set the VIA as the default.
I was looking for a way to disable the ATI HDMI device but when I did the 'lspci -v' command, I got the following output:

02:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]
 Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd. Device aa38
 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 25
 Memory at fbdec000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
 Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

04:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)
 Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 81e7
 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
 Memory at fbefc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
 Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

Both are using the same module 'snd-hda-intel'. So I cannot disable any of them.
(Sorry about my bad english)

Hi everybody,

I have a HP dv6 laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, with the same lspci -v output as soisenpaix:

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3061
 Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
 Memory at d2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
 Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]
 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3061
 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
 Memory at d2310000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
 Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

I had no sound with Ubuntu's default installation. After reading other distro's forum, the only solution I've found so far is to update the ALSA driver and configure it for an HP dv5 laptop.

1) Open a Terminal and type:
     sudo apt-get install kernel-package
2) Go to the ALSA project web page http://www.alsa-project.org/ and download the latest ALSA driver. Currently is 1.0.20.
3) Uncompress the file (double click). Go to the folder created, build and install the driver. Briefly, type in a Terminal:
    cd Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.20/ remember you can use TAB to auto complete
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
4) Configure the ALSA driver. Type in a Terminal:
    sudo echo -e "alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel \noptions snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 \nalias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
5) Reboot.

I know we are using HP dv6 and dv7, not dv5, and the sound is below the hardware's capacity, but at least it works. The Gnome volume controls don't work, so I need to use the volume control from elsewhere.

Hi,

Looks like I had a corrupted Gnome user session file, now volume controls work properly. Anyway, I've reinstalled everything to be sure, upgraded alsa libraries and I still need the "model=hp-dv5" option to make the sound work.

There is workaround to this problem. Selecting similar device manualy with snd_hda_intel module parameter will enable sounds. So it might be only required to add the cards to autodetection logic.

I have Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] (IDT 92HD75B3X5) in hp dv6 notebook.

Hi folks,

Can you please test if you're still having the same problem in Maverick?
If so, and you're not having the same hardware as the original poster (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/SameHardware ), can you please file a separate bug for your issue? Thanks!

[Andres Suarez (andrestepeite)]

It is solved for me.
