Bug Description
I report this bug just for information, cause it took me several hours to find out the solution.
--- System ---
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04
Package: alsa-base 1.0.22.
--- Problem ---
After installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on HP 625 Notebook, you won't get sound through the internal notebook speaker. Line-out works perfectly.
The ALSA Information Script reports the wrong hardware:
HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
IDT ID 7667
That's because of the wrong alsa driver version, missing the newest drivers:
Driver version: 1.0.21
--- Solution ---
You need alsa driver version 1.0.23 or higher. To install at least driver version 1.0.23 at this time, take the following steps:
* Activate the "Recommended updates (lucid-updates)" and "Pre-released updates (lucid-proposed)" repositories in Synaptic Package Manager (Settings -> Repositories -> Updates).
* Reload your package information.
* Install the package "linux-
* Restart and your sound should work properly.
* If not, raise all available volume levels in alsamixer (start alsamixer in terminal).
Now the ALSA Information Script reports the right hardware:
HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
IDT 92HD88B1

To insure that the latest driver code still works for you, could you please install the package linux-alsa- driver- modules- generic from the Ubuntu Audio Dev PpA, https:/ /launchpad. net/~ubuntu- audio-dev/ +archive. Please remove any backports alsa packages before you install the package from the PPA.
Please report back as to whether things still work for you as they do with the newer backported alsa packages.
