[Realtek ALC269VB] ALSA test tone not correctly played back, sound does not work after booting into windows in a dual-boot system, and requires that I boot into recovery mode to have the sound back again!

[paulo bessa]

I am using Ubuntu lucid 10.04.1 LTS
And in dual boot I also have Windows XP
This is Dual boot, not a wubi installation!
This is a Asus eee pc 1001px.
Very few software installed, and the ones installed are very common: audacious, open office, chrome...

Every time I boot into windows, usually to use Skype (because internal microphone does not work at all in my Ubuntu desktop, yes that's another sound problem I have: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/689258), so after booting into Windows, the sound does not work when I boot into ubuntu again!

I have to reboot the system into recovery mode, shut down, and then boot again ubuntu, so that I have the sound finally back working again!

What's the problem with this? Do you know how to correct this bug?

Do you also know how to set the internal microphone working? I have tried every suggested solution. No result so far.

I am tired of these sound bugs in ubuntu that seem to have no solution.

Just discovered this problem. Booted Win 7 to play Starcraft, then rebooted into Maverick, and have no sound from internal speakers. External work fine.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

This is likely a proc coef problem. I made a kernel patch to dump these a while ago but it seems it's not working correctly nowadays.

Also, it might be that suspend or hibernate could solve the problem.

Yep! Restoring laptop from suspend bring sound back to internal speakers.
