It seems to be somehow related to the kernel, as Takashi Iwai asked Linus to "please pull yet another ALSA updates for 2.6.28 from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git for-linus "

See the updates and diffs in "http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/28cf31415dfcf172"

I'm having the same problem on ASUS X71A notebook (Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27-7-generic, Intel Pentium T3200 (core duo) )

System->Preferences->Sound->Sound playback: HDA Intel ALC622 Analog (ALSA) -> Test

[susu (asusu)]

Completely the same problem (=> villofish), and same laptop :)
HP 6735s Ubuntu 8.10 i386

Completely same infos:
$ lspci | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
and so on and on.

The sound works perfectly on 8.04 (but there are problems with the processor [AMD Athlon(tm)X2 DualCore QL-60])

I tried:

- recompile the latest alsa-driver ... (beep works, no mixer, and no loaded kernel module [snd_hda_intel])
- copy module files from 8.04 (at the moment i've got two ubuntus on my laptop: 8.04 and 8.10) (beep works, nothing else)
- install the previous alsa-driver; has the same (beep works, but nothing else)
- set so many option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base - doesn't work

OFF, but it is also a bug: wireless(802.11)...8.10 dont know anything about my wireless...lspci does not list this device. Bluetooth works very well, but nothing about "wifi"...chipset: Broadcom 4322 (a/b/g/draft-n 2.0)

[Peter Klotz (peter-klotz)]

With a self compiled 2.6.28-rc3 kernel the sound works in Ubuntu 8.10 amd64.

[blink38 (matthieu-marc)]

I have an HP 6735s too, and to make my speaker working, I had the following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/options file :

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

[Levon (terentiev-alexey)]

Hi, I have HP dv4-1120. In kernel 2.6.27-7-generic i'm using parameter ircpoll and sound works.

After upgrade kernel to Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic I lost sound and irqpoll does not working. pci=noacpi does not working too

[Peter Klotz (peter-klotz)]

The "model=laptop" option did not work for me.

After an upgrade to Jaunty Alpha 2 (kernel 2.6.28-3-generic) the sound works. However I would not recommend this update on a production machine since bugs like #310345 (freezing GUI) are worse than no sound.

[Area Europa (john-area-europa)]

nice one blink83 !!
I now have sound on HP 6735s after adding the following line to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/options:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

Heres some output if its of help to anyone googling:

Thank you blink83!
Your suggestion worked perfectly for me,

great idea!

I've ALC662 and works out-of-the-box in 9.04. Default mixer settings could be better, though, now it's silent at first.

[Keith Patton (kaipee)]

I have just installed (fresh) Kubuntu 9.10. Sound worked perfectly. Then I installed VLC and plugged in my external HDD to listen to music. after playing 1 song the devices fails to respond

···forcing alsa to reload worked. I'll try to narrow it down to why its stopping.
