Bug Description

There is no sound by default and I have added the ubuntu-audio-dev ppa to my package sources and have the latest packages and still there is no sound.

My guess is the card is recognized.
I have tried adding "options snd-hda-intel model=basic" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_base.conf to no avail.

I have tried using the debugging guide(s):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

Here is the alsa db link, created by alsa_info.sh

[
work around #1:
Please refer to comment #46.
You can get hda-analyzer here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer

Do the 'quick run' mentioned in that page. Find Node[0x19] on the left hand side pane and click it. Look under "widget control" on the Right hand side pane. Change VREF's value from whatever it is to HIZ.

This has worked for me and others who have commented here.

I have been able to get sound from the headphone jack by specifying model=generic in /etc/modprobe.conf/alsa-base.conf

Others have as well. See ALSA bug referenced above.

I think a new ALSA model patch is going to have to be created for Sony VPCEBs.

Confirmed. Thanks rvaliant. Adding:

gokul (dotgokul) wrote :

although model=generic works for the headphone jack, the balance and volume functionality don't work -- they don't change. Using gnome volume control to adjust the balance automatically makes the volume zero. Using alsamixer does not change the volume levels to anything other than 99 or 100.

Hi ppl,

I can confirm that headphone jack is working on my Vaio VPCEb1z1e by setting mode=generic, but nothing else (also no microphone input).

Not that this helps really, but you can get internal microphone input by specifying "model=auto" in alsa-base.conf.

Input or output, but not both. :(

FWIW, the internal speakers on my particular VPCEB are REALLY poor! Maybe not hearing them isn't so bad! ;)

gokul (dotgokul) wrote :

Yes, as far as the speakers go, sound reproduction is bad and my left one is already bust I think - it fizzles at >80% (windows 7 terminology) volume.

Another observation, playing around with an external speaker sometimes freezes my USB devices. I am not able to reliably describe the scenario -- may be there is some power leak/feedback from the speaker?

gokul (dotgokul) wrote :

Not sure if this also related to [#532095]. Will add this comment there too.

running multiple sound apps at one time introduces noise (fizzling/buzz).

Another note:
Chromium and totem played the same .flv file (go to youtube, play a video in chromium (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Vbs84MziY&feature=related) and play the temporary file corresponding to that ( /tmp/Flash*) in totem):
* totem plays it as mono
* chromium plays in stereo
* Starting totem (along side chromium) introduces noise, stopping totem restores clarity to chromium's playback (I am not talking about sounds overlapping, this is white noise) -- the streams appear to be interleaved and correspondingly tempo is halved -- and girl sounds like a guy etc.
* Stopping playback in chromium does not restore full clarity, totem still has residual noise but tempo appears to be restored
* closing chromium and restarting totem restores clarity to totem playback.

* if totem plays first and chromium starts after, all symptoms are inverted except that stopping playback in totem fully restores chromium's playback clarity.

pavucontrol says chromium uses ALSA playback whereas totem is reported as using Playback stream.

update:
I tried to ensure that it is not a bug with a snapshot so I rolled back all non-lucid packages to lucid versions and the problem I have reported in comment #43 is not valid since it does not occur with default lucid packages.

I have this bug and managed to fix it temporarily on vpceb1c5e:

using HDA analyser I set NODE 0x19 Widget Control VREF from 50 to HIZ or GRD (either seems to work) -- this enables PLAYBACK only, jack sense between loudspeaker and headphone jack does work, I will try and dig up what enables recording:

I think there is some problem with hda-analyzer 's revert feature or I don't know if some settings are automatically applied. Node 0x19 had changed from HIZ to 80 after a reboot and there was no sound in either the builtin speaker or the the headphone jack.

I had to change IN on Node 0x19 to HIZ or GRD, and now the builtin speakers and headphone jack are both functional and the speakers are automatically OFF when the headphone jack is plugged-in. (along with changes to Node 0x14 and 0x15 mentioned in comment #50)

Intuitively and by the observed behavior, Node 0x14 is the builtin left speaker out and 0x15 is the right speaker out.

After a second reboot, I have observed that Node 0x19's IN does revert back to 80 instead of staying as HIZ/GRD.

Hi gokul,

If you could also please 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.

Please refer to comment #46.
You can get hda-analyzer here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer

Do the 'quick run' mentioned in that page. Find Node[0x19] on the left hand side pane and click it. Look under "widget control" on the Right hand side pane. Change VREF's value from whatever it is to HIZ.

This has worked for me and others who have commented here.

See Daniel T Chen's comment#97

Here is the link to the ppa with instructions how to add it: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa
Once you add the ppa install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) package, e.g. linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-22-generic and reboot. Sound should be working after that.

This workaround works fine and we'll have to use it since the update of http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/alsa-base to version 1.0.23 (which has the fix) may take a while.

Hope that helps,

i am also having the same laptop, and i updated my alsa driver to 1.0.23 and sound worked but there were some conflicts with flash player and other music players...i couldn't play sound in both of them simultaneously. anything about that??

"Works perfectly in maverick beta" as by comment #119
and also is this problem resolved in maverick completely?? because that is the most important thing now??

@Bhavya,
I can confirm that in maverick, using multiple applications such as flash player (say, youtube), totem and rhythmbox does not cause any problems.

I think I love you (if you're a man, know that it is a pure non-homo love :D). Work around #1 worked like a charm. The moment I switched to HIZ the beautiful sound of Mr. Mozart started pouring out of my speakers, for I was testing my audio with a track from this great genius. So thank you very much and wish you best of luck and keep helping poor buggers like me. :D
Btw I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx on a Sony Vaio VPCEB3M1E (uncle Google can show you the specs ;)).

First work around worked. I also had a problem with changes not being there after a reboot so I used the analyser's ability to generate a script (after using the interface to set 0x19 widget control vref to HIZ) and then made the script run on start up (I saved the script in /etc/init.d/soundSet):

sudo update-rc.d -f soundSet start 99 2 3 4 5 .

Sound works every time now. Thanks.

I'm using the PPA for ubuntu-audio-dev with the linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32 and haven't had a single problem (sound-related that is) ever since. :) No need to edit any values inside the HDA_Analyzer or stuff like that.
