no sound from speakers on HP Mini 1000 (hda-intel, IDT 92HD75B2X5)

[gohai]

On current Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha I don't get any sound from my built-in laptop speakers - plugging in headphones does work though. I used Kubuntu 8.10 before - there the sound did work, also from the build-in speakers.

I tried to follow the steps for debugging sound issues in the Wiki, this didn't work out for me.

You find the output of the ALSA Information Script here:

[gohai (gottfried-haider)]

I managed to compile and install alsa-driver-1.0.19 from sources and sound is working for me now. (I did not update alsa-lib or alsa-utils, so I was not sure if this even has a chance of working out..)

The current output of the ALSA Information Script:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=33d727162af1551fc6ecb5aba93382ba67c9b3dd

(modules snd_hda_codec and snd_hda_codec_idt seem to have been added, and the resulting codec file in /proc has some differences)

I hope this ends up in a package anytime soon..

[Tom Haddon (mthaddon)]

I can confirm this bug on an HP Mini 1000 as well. Same symptoms (works fine from audio port, not from speakers)

[Tom Haddon (mthaddon)]

I should say, I was testing with the UNR jaunty beta release.

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

This isn't just a problem with UNR, there seems to be a lot of people on the forums having this with HP Mini's running standard Ubuntu. I'm getting this on an HP Mini 1010NR running Kubuntu Jaunty.

Alsa Project script info can be found at:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e8288c5dd752a7077fd630edd0f28ec9eec90332

Given that ALSA 1.0.19 seemed to fix the problem for Gohai, and that Luke Yelavich's PPA has it, I suggest trying to add:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/themuso/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

to your sources, updating, rebooting and seeing if that helps. Either way, let us know here along with your model so we can see who this works for.

[Azrael (darren-hewett)]

I have an hp mini 1001 and i tried adding that line to my sources and did a dist-upgrade. It installed a bunch of sound stuff but after a reboot I still have no sound.

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Same here with HP Mini 1000 (1120NR).

I added "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but it does NOT help.

Here's my alsa info: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=45c860d5a8a871bdce19775c7b8b4fac0978eaa8

I have lpia architecture and my card is:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Last system update: Thu Apr 2 13:56:38 UTC 2009

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I forgot to mention that it's a fresh cli installation + ubuntu-desktop.

[coCoKNIght (cocoknight)]

Confirmed. HP Mini 1000. This issue's been there since I upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty before christmas I think :-)
Speakers work fine on my Ubuntu 8.10 installation

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I confirm what cocoknight said. It worked fine in Ubuntu 8.10 using the 8.10 lpia alternate iso and then installing ubuntu-desktop (just needed to change some volumes in the mixers).

Here's what I tried so far, with NO SUCCESS:
- "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
- using the ppa (given above) which updated libasound2, libasound2-plugins, libtotem-plparser12
- using module-assistant, compiling alsa-source. It just added more choices in the mixer (e.g. headphone, pcm, pc beep...) I tried put them all to 100% but still no sound (except for the loud pc beep but that may be independant).

We need to see what the regression comes from between intrepid and jaunty. Would it come from linux-image?

I've fixed sound problem following these steps ( https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/64930 ):

Built-in speakers and headphones work. However, I didn't test mic.

Between some updates I need to do all process again (I don't know if there another procedure).

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I tried it too but it didn't work for me, I don't know why. Anyway I switched back to intrepid.
What's your laptop mauricio? 1120NR?

[coCoKNIght (cocoknight)]

Would be nice if you HP Mini guys could help me with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/348959
It's about hibernate not working on the HP Mini. Thanks

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

I tried recompiling the drivers as above but it didn't work for me on a HP 1010NR. I may have been missing a step not in those instructions though as install complained about not being able to install the compiled deb because of pre-existing files. I used dpkg --force-all to still install them, but still no sound.

[Mauricio Marambio (alt256)]

Mine is a 1020la, running UNR 9.04.

@Shaved Wookie: I'm not sure what it could be your problem, since i'm relatively new to ubuntu. Perhaps some packages are not installed.

[Mauricio Marambio (alt256)]

What I did before installed drivers was going to System>Preferences>Sound and change everything to ALSA. Also I've added my user to pulse group (System -> Administration -> Groups & Users -I think is that option in English, since I use ubuntu in spanish-). Then reboot.

Also, you should try another models in line "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1" in alsa.conf file if your sound card is different, as described here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/64930

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Yeah mine is a rev 01, seems like it is quite different... but I've read
on Opensuse forums that this bug might be fixed in Linux kernel version
2.6.29.

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

Installed 2.6.29 on a vanilla, updated Jaunty and rebooted. No speaker sound so far. Will try the other usual suggestions (alsa-base.conf) and report back.

This is on a HP Mini 1010nr which reports an:
Intel Corporation 8281G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

Hey maurico,

Did you actually *remove* any alsa / asound packages before compiling and installing alsa 1.0.19? I'm just wondering if I should have given the errors about pre-existing files...

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

Good news! It's definitely narrowed down to the kernel version as after adding the lines above to my alsa-base.conf sound works (after a couple of reboots). This means that:

vanilla updated jaunty + 2.6.28 kernel = speaker sound doesn't work
vanilla updated jaunty + 2.6.29 kernel = speaker sound works

The only problem is that with 2.6.29 my wireless fails. :(

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Hey, good job! And you still have alsa 1.0.18 or is it 1.0.19?
For your wireless, this can also be from your new kernel as the modules are not compiled for 2.6.29.

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

It's still running 1.0.18. I didn't do the whole compile 1.0.19 thing above.

Is there any way to get the broadcom wireless modules for 2.6.29?

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Take a look at http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=219908#219908
for the wireless.

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

I was asked how I installed 2.6.29 to get my sound going. I just followed the pretty easy steps at:
http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/03/24/linux-kernel-2629-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/

Just remember that anything that uses restricted-headers (eg Broadcom wireless) borks, and you're also on an unsupported kernel. You have been warned!

The *nice* thing is that, being a kernel, that you get the choice at boot up in GRUB whether you want to boot into this kernel or your currently installed one.

[xapt (jeremy-iglehart)]

I have a HP Mini 1030 (writing to your from this computer now :)

I had experienced sound problems in the beginning - I never knew if my headset worked or not before doing this... but after the following steps everything works for me EXCEPT the external mic. I'm not able to test the mic by way of the jack because I don't have the combo jack adapter thingy.

I only experienced one problem while compiling.

All of the following commands worked great!

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

Hey Coredata,

There's a couple of solutions suggested in that thread.

Did you mean that you enabled backports, or that you wen through the whole sequence over at the link in that thread (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller). Not sure how the second option can be applied to an HP Mini as they don't seem to be on the list of models there.

* confused... ?:-( *

[Jayhawk (brandoncolorado)]

I tried the PPA option and it didn't work for me. I am running 9.04 on a mini 1000 and I still have no sound. I bought the laptop with the HP Mi edition, so isn't it weird that sound worked there but not in regular Ubuntu?

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

"not in regular Ubuntu?"
Sound works fine in Intrepid. Jaunty isn't released yet, and if it still
doesn't work when released, I'm sure there will be post-release fixes
for this.

[Jonathon Anderson (janders5)]

What is the chance that this will be fixed for the 9.04 release? I just received notification that the RC has been released, and at least as late as last night, this still wasn't fixed on my wife's HP Mini.

This might not be the right forum for this, but it makes me sad when she says "I like the idea of running Linux on it, but I like it better when everything works." Given that (a) this worked in 8.10, and regressed for 9.04, and (b) 9.04 is explicitly a release that is supposed to focus on improving netbook compatibility, I am disappointed that something as simple as sound from the speaker is broken out-of-the-box. It would be more understandable if this were some esoteric sound card, but there are only a handful of netbook architectures, and the HP mini is exactly the platform that this release is supposed to target.

[llimaa (llimaa)]

I'm becoming tired of Linux at all after using it for a long time. I never got a Distro working out of the box without any probs. Linux+software has to be developed with a single leadership else such problems this will never get fixed. Looks like everybody code how they want without caring about of breaking other stuff.

I really like the idea of open-source and the how it connects people but I have no more patience to tweak around and waste hours trying to get something like sound to work. Just have approx 80 of life and dont want to spend 10y of it fixing software problems.

Linux is powerful but this distributed development is a nightmare.
No Leadership, lot of discussions and often complicated or no solutions.

And the worst thing is, you have to update your whole system just to have a newer version of a fav. application. Sure there is PPA and backports and still can compile it but this is dangerous or tweaky.
Even OpenSource applications works better and installs easier on closed source operating systems.

That's really sad. :/ And please don't come with "its a Beta/RC and ... not final" I think we all know that this issue will not be fixed for final release.

And Im starting to think, that "Mark S." is wasting his money.

[Mark Baas (mark-baas123)]

llimaa,
- this is not a complaint forum, this is a bug report.
- who cares what you think of open source and how Mark S. has spend his money.
- Jaunty is in beta, no complain about beta go back the stable intrepid or hardy.

xapt,
the reason the configure failed is you dont have curses headers installed

Jayhawk,
1. Jaunty is unstable, in intrepid there was no problem
2. Mi is pŕobably no based on a beta release as is jaunty, it is probably based on hardy or intrepid. Jaunty is latest and has all the new "cool" stuff. If you wanne stick with something well tested get Mi or hardy.

Shaved wookie,
The wireless doesn't work anymore, because you didnot use i ubuntu kernel which has additional like special wireless drivers which are not in vanilla. I think if you download the alsa which is in that kernel (1.0.19?) and do what xapt did, it should run fine.

I hope this helped,
please keep this a bug report and not a discussion forum

Mark

[Shaved Wookie (shavedwookie)]

Thanks Mark,

I have an exceptional track record of breaking more things thank I fix when compiling. Does anyone know of a compile-free way to get the correct Kernel and ALSA (PPA? Deb's? Repo?)

[Mark Baas (mark-baas123)]

SW,

I recommend you to stick with the ubuntu kernel. A PPA is always missing packages like backport-modules, ubuntu-modules etc. So you might get problems with update processes. Either stick with one kernel or everytime recompile/install (how i do it). What is the problem with compiling? To decrease compiling time you can compile for specific cards only, i always compile for usb and hda-intel only like this:

./configure --with-cards=hda-intel,usb-audio
make
make install

only do that, no external packages etc. Compiling is the cleanest way to install kernel modules. Your wireless probable didnt work of other kernel. And Im telling you Ubuntu is not gonne fix this until next release in half a year.

[sedd (sedillard)]

Got speakers / sound out working with HP Mini 1030NR (9.04 UNR) by installing alsa 1.0.19, following instructions of Maruico and xapt above. This was a pretty clean install so some things were missing. I had to apt-get install the "patch" and "ncurses-dev" packages. Also, rather than install the 30megs or so of docbook stuff for alsa manpages I did "./configure --disable-nls" for the alsa-utils build. After that, "sudo alsaconf" then reboot and sound out worked.

Sound in _kind of_ works. In alsamixer I have "Input Source" set to "Front Mic", "Capture" up to full, "Digital" to 0db (half way) and "Mux" to full. I can hear myself using the gnome Sound Recorder app, but the signal is faint and there's lots of noise. Anyone have any ideas?

[sedd (sedillard)]

Ok to follow up, I've got the built-in mic working. Starting from fresh 9.04 UNR image, I followed Maurico's instructions above to build/install alsa 1.0.19, with one change. In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf instead of

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1

I put

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4

Found that here:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

I also tried model=ref-no-jd and that worked too. This enabled a third option in the "Input Source" section of the mixer. In addition to "Mic" and "Front Mic" there's now "Line" which is the internal mic. Haven't tried the mic jack but everything else works.

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I just installed daily lpia alternate iso (as of april 20th) + ubuntu-desktop, and still no sound on the hp mini 1120NR.
I ported debian packages for alsa 1.0.19 to ubuntu on a ppa (https://launchpad.net/~minichoco-team/+archive/ppa) and installed it on the 1120NR but it doesn't fix the problem (using any 'options snd-hda-intel' above).
Still no sound.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Confirmed here on hardware

[Chih-Hsyuan Ho (chih)]

Verified on both Gnome Sound Recorder and Skype, sound playback and recording using internal speakers/mic work after following instructions highlighted in sedd's earlier comments except that there are no changes made to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in my case.

/proc/asound/version shows:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.19
Compiled on Apr 20 2009 for kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (SMP).

By the way, in gnome-sound-properties, Check:
* Default Mixer Tracks: Device: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) and Master in the list is picked
* try to disable "Play sound effects when buttons are clicked" in Sounds tag as it seems to conflict with the overall audio functions. No event-triggered sounds work at this point in time.

In gnome-volume-control, check:
* Device: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)
* Options: Input Source: Line

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I tried what Chih Ho said, but nothing worked for me. (HP mini 1120NR)
I guess the only last thing I have to try is a new kernel (2.6.29).

[sedd (sedillard)]

Arnaud:

Please verify that your alsa-1.0.19 binaries are configured using

   ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

The --with-cards=hda-intel is important I think. If you can't verify that this is the case, you should try compiling them yourself, following the instructions given above by Mauricio. Also, try varying the line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf that looks like

   options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4

Some other values for model to try are "ref" "ref-no-jd" and "dell-m4-1". A full list of models is here:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Sound!!!! Finally working! :)

Okay, thanks to sedd, I thought: maybe I should use module-assistant and compile the alsa-source package, and so I did that and rebooted and it worked.

So here's the proper workaround for my HP Mini 1000 (1120NR) (without any manual compiling needed!):

* Add my team's ppa from https://launchpad.net/~minichoco-team/+archive/ppa
* sudo apt-get update
* sudo apt-get upgrade
* sudo apt-get install alsa-source module-assistant
* (optional) edit /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf on line 11 you must have ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" and this will reduce the compile time.
* sudo m-a a-i alsa-source # this will build and install automagically the audio card drivers
* sudo reboot

No need to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
This *might* need to be compiled again if there is a kernel update.

Then open the sound properties, unmute Speaker.
You can also mute the annoying PC Beep (you have to into preferences first, and check the pc beep box).

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

If i am interpreting peoples comments comments there is a suggestion that the 2.6.29 kernel may fix things. We already have a number of the changes to the sigmatel codec support (which is where the flaw is likely to lie). If those of you who have a virgin system could test the mainline kernel v2.6.29 and report back that would help a lot. This kernel can be found at the URL below:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds

I have also backported a likely sounding change from v2.6.29 and build test kernels for this specific change only. If you could try these kernels and report back here that would be very helpful. Kernels are at the URL below:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp318942-jaunty/

[macrowiz49 (macrowiz49)]

Andy, I installed kernel 2.6.29-020629-generic on my HP mini and the sound is working fine. However, that build doesn't seem to have broadcom wireless support yet. It's currently not working on 2.6.28, but I have yet to try any Arnaud's suggestion.

[macrowiz49 (macrowiz49)]

I followed Arnaud's suggestion in his last post and it worked! I have sound now!

[Chih-Hsyuan Ho (chih)]

Andy, I applied your backported kernel package (in http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp318942-jaunty/) on a freshly installed Jaunty UNR image and the audio playback works! However, I have yet been able to make audio recording (through internal mic) work as I did through upgrading Alsa driver to 1.0.19.

[Chih-Hsyuan Ho (chih)]

Andy, sound recording now works. I changed the target format in "Record as" in gnome-sound-recorder from the CD Quality, Lossy (.ogg type) to CD Qaulity, Lossless (.flac type) and that did the trick. Maybe the performance of this unit couldn't keep up with certain audio format?

[Mark L. Potter (romeosidvicious)]

I can confirm that Arnuad's solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netbook-remix/+bug/318942/comments/44 working on the 1030NR model Mini 1000. Never used module assistant before and was impressed. Simple solution but still not one for the "unwashed masses" ;) thanks for the help getting the sound running.

[Jayhawk (brandoncolorado)]

I can also confirm that Arnaud's solution works on my laptop. I just got the laptop, but I think it is actually a model "1100" although I am a bit unsure. It is still part of the 1000 Mini line. Here is my soundcard from lspci -v:

[bigbrovar (bigbrovar)]

am not getting sound when i try to play videos from youtube on firefox, is it just me or is there anything i should be doing? every other thing works fine though

[ski (skibrianski)]

This sort of works for me. The only problems are:
1 - I have to go to volume control and unmute the Speaker channel on every boot.
2 - the magic blue keys (fn+f8/f10/f11) don't control anything anymore.

But at least I have some sound...

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Youtube works for me, and f8,f10,f11 do work too. They worked by default
(right after ubuntu was installed). In the keyboard shortcuts window, it
says XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86AudioRaiseVolume,
respectively.
I have the HP Mini 1120NR.

[James Pain (jamesepain-gmail)]

Fresh install of the latest Ubuntu Netbook Remix today on my HP Mini 2133 and there is indeed no sound coming from the speakers.

[Jayhawk (brandoncolorado)]

Bigbrovar,

I have similar problems. However, I believe the problem occurs when trying to play two different sound sources at once. For instance, open RhythmBox and play an mp3. Sound will work fine. Keep that playing and then open a browser and watch a video or any other sound producing content. Audio stops entirely for me. This happened after using the update mentioned above to fix my sound.

[Jayhawk (brandoncolorado)]

Arnaud's solution seems to have broken headphone output while fixing speaker output for me. Can anyone else confirm this?

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I just tried it and the headphones work. But first, I had to go into
Gnome Volume Control and unmute Headphone in the HDA Intel (Alsa mixer).

[jasonq (jason-quinn)]

Everything can be made to work on the HP 1030NR including sound and the internal mic.

Assuming a fresh install of UNR 9.04, you'll want to install the packages patch, gettext, and libncurses-dev before compiling the three ALSA modules as described above in Mauricio's comment. In volume control, you'll want to set the input sources to "line" and "front mic" for the HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). Make sure your volumes are not set too low after a reboot, you're off and running.

[Mauricio Marambio (alt256)]

I've did fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 Desktop (not UNR) and sound is NOT working on my HP1020la.

So I tried again with the script I posted before, and following some suggestion in this thread, I made some modifications:
- First, check that you have this packages installed (sudo apt-get install package_name):
 patch, gettext, libncurses5-dev, xmlto, xmltoman
- Use this script:

cd ~
mkdir soundtmp
cd soundtmp

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.19.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.19.tar.bz2

tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2
tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.19.tar.bz2
tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.19.tar.bz2

cd alsa-driver-1.0.19
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
make
sudo make install
cd ..

cd alsa-lib-1.0.19
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..

cd alsa-utils-1.0.19
./configure --disable-nls
make
sudo make install

- Change your alsa-base.conf file (sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf) adding these lines:

options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

- Go to System>Preferences>Sound and change first 4 options to ALSA

- Reboot!

- After reboot you should hear login sound...

- In volume control, you'll want to set the input sources to "line" and "front mic" for the HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). Make sure your volumes are not set too low after a reboot, you're off and running (thanks to jasonq).

Built in speakers work, headphones and internal mic. Magic blue keys works too, and i'm not having issues about playing from 2 different sources at the same time (youtube in firefox and mp3 in rhytmbox). However, I didn't test external mic.

Maybe between kernel updates you have to do all this process again.

I hope this helps...or try Arnaud's solution mentioned above (I haven't tried) that works for some people.

[Kevin Wallace (kevjava)]

Mauricio's solution ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/11 ) worked perfectly for me on a fresh Jaunty install for my 1030NR.

[Scott Henderson (scotthva5)]

You, sir, are my new hero. Confirmed your solution worked perfectly on my Mini 1020NR with UNR 9.04. Many thanks.

[ski (skibrianski)]

Yeah, Mauricio's solution worked better for me (HP 1035NR, lpia -- headphones and speakers work, no need to unmute on boot). Just a few notes for completeness:

If you want to make sure you keep these versions of alsa you've just installed so future upgrades don't overwrite them, you can do this:
echo alsa-base hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo alsa-oss hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo alsa-utils hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections

And if you're like me, you'll want to uninstall xmlto and xmltoman, as well as its dependencies, after you've compiled and installed alsa:
sudo dpkg -P xmlto xmltoman docbook-xsl docbook-xsl-doc-html

Thanks all!

[John Montgomery (blueyonder64)]

Mauricio's solution worked a charm for me as well on a 1010NR. Big thanks to ski, also, for throwing out the tip on keeping the changes from being undone by future updates.

[gneman (luis6674)]

I've just tried 9.04 final and this is not fixed. The thing is:

With a vanilla kernel 2.6.28 sound doesn't work on this laptop (upstream problem). With a vanilla 2.6.29 sound works. So the fixes need to be backported. For example, openSUSE (and SLED) have backported the fixes to 2.6.27. I'll attach that big patch with all the fixes in case it's useful for anyone in charge of solving this (it is openSUSE's patch for 2.6.27, just for reference!).

[Ronald McCollam (fader)]

Andy, with your kernel with the backported fixes, I get audio playback but only static when recording. This seems to be the case regardless of whether pulseaudio is installed and running.

I have an HP mini 1000 with Jaunty UNR on it. Arnaud's fix works (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/44) but the alsa settings aren't saved so I need to unmute the speakers on every boot. I've tried running `sudo alsactl store` and that didn't solve it. Tried Maurico's post (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/63) and same symptoms. audio works but I have to unmute on reboot. the blue keys work fine though.

[rrwood (roy-wood)]

I have an HP Mini 1110NR and manually installing alsa-1.0.19 fixes the speaker sound problem perfectly.

This was applied to a fresh install of Ubuntu NBR 9.04 (not sure what kernel and other packages that entails as of April 26, 2009).

Anyone know when Canonical is likely to push out an official release of Alsa?

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

If you look at the status of this bug report, it says "In progress" and assigned to "Andy Whitcroft". Andy already proposed a couple .deb files that might fix the issue. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/45

[James Lewis (james-fsck)]

I have updated to ALSA 1.0.19 using Arnaud Soyez method above, and sound works as expected now.... Hope Andy can work out exactly what component it is and backport it, because it doesn't look good for Ubuntu if loads of people have this issue.

[jcuhoh (jerrycrabb)]

Just purchased HP mini 1000 for my wife, removed HP's Distro and performed clean install with current 9.04 Netbook Remix.

After i installing the backported kernel from http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp318942-jaunty/ sound work on my compaq 700 (exactly the same model as the HP Minihp mini 1000)

thanks!

[ski (skibrianski)]

@jcuhoh - That site has been down for at least a couple of days. Check out the mirror list from www.alsa-project.org, and grab it from the alternate site. That's what I had to do. Good luck!

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

Ok the previous kernel change was too intrusive to be applied for all users of the hda driver. I have respun it such that the updated codec is only used for the HP mini 1000 Could those of you with that system please test this kernel and report back. These new kernels can be found at the URL below (take the apw10 version):

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp318942-jaunty/

This kernel is intended to only apply specifically to the HP mini 1000, which reports as below:

    egrep 'Codec:|Subsystem Id:' /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
    Codec: IDT 92HD75B2X5
    Subsystem Id: 0x103c361a

If you had sound issues which were resolved by the apw1 kernel on a machine other than this please report that here and include the output of the command below:

    egrep 'Codec:|Subsystem Id:' /proc/asound/card*/codec#*

[Donald Pellegrino (donald-a-pellegrino)]

@Andy Whitcroft,

Thanks for working on the patch. I downloaded and installed

     linux-image-2.6.28-12-generic_2.6.28-12.43lp318942apw10_i386.deb

I tested on an HP Mini 1000 (1030NR) with reports the Codec and Subsystem Ids expected:

     $ egrep 'Codec:|Subsystem Id:' /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
     Codec: IDT 92HD75B2X5
     Subsystem Id: 0x103c361a

After a reboot I did hear sound as I got the login prompt. This is great as I wasn't getting sound before. Unfortunately although the sound was fixed the wireless networking broke. The wireless activation switch on the front of the device was amber during boot and it wouldn't turn blue for me no matter how many times I switched it or how long I held it. I then rebooted and selected 2.6.28-11 from grub and the sound went silent while the wireless network switch functioned again as it should.

Sorry for the bad news but technically the sound was fixed. I didn't see any obvious problems in syslog or messages regarding the wireless driver. Let me know if I should grep those files from the 2.6.28-12 boot and provide any of the lines. It looks like some good progress is being made.

Thanks.

[taspankya (taspankya)]

@Andy Whitcroft,

Well the image worked and sound was heard, but it seemed to be at the cost of losing wireless... I did not experience the amber light, as mentioned by Don, (it remained blue). However the problem was the same- there was only wired network available, no wireless. My experience is pretty much word for word as Don's.

Also, I dont know if something else needs to be configured, but I couldn't get the microphone to work. Below are some terminal input/output. Hope this helps...

Well It's possible that wireless stoped working because of the kernel version number ?
-11 vs -12 which makes ubuntu restricted drivers not work together anymore ?

[Donald Pellegrino (donald-a-pellegrino)]

@llimaa,

I am not familiar with the framework used to manage restricted drivers but your hypothesis seems consistent with the behaviour we are seeing. If you know more about the code managing the relationship between the restricted drivers and the kernel version maybe you could suggest some actions I should try to test. Also, would you expect a message to one of the log files if this were the case?

[llimaa (llimaa)]

Just found that older custom kernel with restricted driver package tutorial hack on the net but I did not try it. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-441013.html

I think the wireless network stopped working (broadcom closed source) because of the restricted driver modules -11 package does not fit to the custom -12 kernel. But works with the -11 custom kernel because the original kernel is also -11.

Solution would be a hack of the precompiled package to work the the custom made kernel.
Or create a decent package of the restricted-driver-modules for the custom kernel by Andy.

I tried the solution of Arnaud https://bugs.launchpad.net/netbook-remix/+bug/318942/comments/44 and works!!!!.... speakers, headphones but i dont tried the micro... and also works the buttons f8, f10 y f11. Thank you very much...

[Scott Love (scott-aquaminds)]

I've been wrestling with this issue on an HP Mini 1000 for over three months or so. A solution has been found to restoring sound to the external speakers as linked below. Working great. I hope the UNR build team will resolve this so that HP customers can enjoy running a real Ubuntu on their netbooks.

(Changes are not ported to the alsa-driver source, which aims to remain a pristine upstream tarball.)

[taspankya (taspankya)]

As stated before this is a Bug fix forum, not a support forum. So I think we need to stick to what the person who is assigned the bug (in this case Andy) requests of us. The other "fixes" might not be addressing the problem correctly, even though they seem to fix part or some of the issue on the surface.

The only way to get this into the official fix is through Andy. With that being said, is there anything else that we can do, Andy, to help you resolve this bug and move this device from tier 2 to 1?

[Lauren (xmad-hatterx)]

Arnaud's fix worked! My sound works perfectly! I still have a youtube problem, though.

[mozillar (mozillar67)]

Hi,

this is the 1st bug I've tracked in launchpad. Regarding Daniel's post above:

Changed in alsa-driver (Ubuntu):
status: New → Won't Fix

Does this mean there will NOT be an official bug fix for Ubuntu Jaunty for this speaker issue?

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Fixes come from the linux source package (that generates kernel images).

To clarify that, mozillar, what you see there means that the bug won't be fixed in the alsa-driver package specifically. If you look near the top of the bug page, you'll see three projects listed as affected by this report :)

I am also experiencing this issue, as described, with a mini 1035nr. I'll try the fix soon.

[Matt Merkey (powermatt)]

Confirming that Arnaud's solution from comment #44 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/netbook-remix/+bug/318942/comments/44) works for my 1030NR. Sound is coming from the speakers as it should.

[jasonq (jason-quinn)]

A version 20 point release of ALSA is out which also works fine (if not better... sound seems louder than with version 19... dunno if it's my imagination). I just did a fresh install of UNR on my HP1030NR following the prescription in Mauricio Marambio comment 63 above. That recipe works great. I would change the "sudo gedit" command to "gksudo gedit" though.

[Jordanchap (jordanchap)]

I just registered and logged in to say that Arnaud Soyez's fix above fixed my sound. Thank you very much for the support you add to Ubuntu! You've converted another Windows fan (not me but my brother who I install UNR on their HP Mini 1000).

[EtherNomad (jmcinnis-gmail)]

HP Mini 1000 (1030nr)
I installed Jaunty the night it was released and had sound straight out of the box. Updates killed my sound at some point. Here is how I recovered full use of speakers and mic (Skype works like a champ!)

Enable Sound, Video & Mic (Skype)
- System | Administration | Software Sources
-- Click Updates tab and enable "Pre-released updates (jaunty-proposed)
- System | Preferences | Sound
-- Select "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architechture" for all
- Download and install Linux Kernel 2.6.28.12-generic or above...reboot
- Launch terminal and check kernel version
-- cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
- Type sudo alsamixer and click tab twice to show all
- Adjust settings to match the following:
-- Master = 68 | Headphone = 79 | PCM = 100 | Front = 100 | Capture = 60 (Space Bar to enable) |
-- Capture 1 = Disabled | Analog Loopback = Off | Analog Loopback 1 = Off | DAC0 - Enabled 84 |
-- DAC1 = Disabled | Import0 = Enabled 100 | Import1 = Disabled | Input Source = Line | Input Source1 = Line |
-- Mux = 0 | Mux1 = 0 |
-- Click Escape to exit
- Download and install Skype (use .deb package)
- Launch Skype | Options | Sound Devices
-- Change all 3 to "HDA Intel (hw:Intel,0)
- Video Devices
-- Enable Skype Video
-- Start my video automatically when I am in a call

I am doing this with alsa v.1.0.18.
Some people might gripe about the 2.6.28.12-generic kernel but let me say, every utility and application I've tested works perfectly! Note that some of the settings in alsamixer are arbitrary but what I've posted above works 100% for me.

[Metyelkin Evgeniy (mea-john)]

on 1119TU sound isn't working... alsa .20 and new kernel doesn't helps...

[todoleo (todoleo)]

I followed Arnaud Soyez's post on my Compaq Mini 702ea (UK) [vanilla ubuntu jaunty]. It worked perfectly!

Thanks for the help!

[taspankya (taspankya)]

@Andy,
Is there any thing else you need tested from us?

[todoleo (todoleo)]

I followed Arnaud Soyez's post on my Compaq Mini 702ea (UK) [ubuntu netbook remix 9.04]. It worked perfectly!

Again, thanks for the help!

[taspankya (taspankya)]

@todoleo
I know, you said that on the post before...
This bug is assigned to Andy.
although Arnaud's approach seems to fix it, it is only a work-around.

The goal is to fix this officially, and for it to be in the release, and official updates. So that it works out-the-box..

[eightwhitepawsinc (eightwhitepawsinc)]

Arnaud Soyez:

I appreciate your workaround......my sound is working, but whenever i reboot, the sound is muted and i need to go into preferences are unmute the speakers. i am a noob, but i've tried to fix this without success.

i saw one other poster had the same problem. do you have any ideas on how i can get sound straight from bootup?

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Hit alt+f2 and type:
gksudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
Hit alt+f2 again and type:
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

And add these lines before 'exit 0' to make sure your volume is always the same:

amixer set Speaker unmute
amixer set Speaker 100%
amixer set 'PC Beep' mute
amixer set Master 70%
Save and exit.

[Elisiano Petrini (elisiano)]

I did in a different way but still using /etc/rc.local
Once I set al volumes the way I wanted (which might differ from the above ones) I issued from a terminal: sudo alsactl store
Then in /etc/rc.local (before the exit 0 as Arnaud pointed out) I put "alsactl restore" (no need of sudo here since it's executed as root at boot time).

[llimaa (llimaa)]

WOW still no user friendly solution, looks like bug #1 is far, far away.

[John Montgomery (blueyonder64)]

Not exactly sure what your definition of "user friendly" is, but Arnaud's solution seems pretty straightforward to me, and I'm definitely no linux genius. Just my two cents, but considering the fact that this is a single issue on a particular machine that otherwise seems to work 100% with everything else in 9.04 I'd say that this is fairly minor in the bigger scheme of things related to an operating system that is mostly maintained by a community that consists largely of volunteers, especially considering the fact that the guy that this issue is assigned to has 115 other bugs on his plate.

[taspankya (taspankya)]

Just out of curiosity... Why wouldn't this be prioritized as High instead of Medium? Considering its the only known bug on this device and that fixing it would move it from a Tier 2 device to Tier 1. That's a huge plus for Ubuntu...

As I have mentioned before we aren't looking for workarounds. We want this to be an official update. Sorry to hear that Andy has 115 other bugs :( ... that's quite a list. If you need some testing performed, Andy, let us know...

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

The priority is related to both the bug report and the concerned package. High priority would mean that the linux package would keep you from using your computer or also it could mean that it can't install itself. High would also suggest that the bug needs to be fixed within a few days.

Andy has already given a couple deb package to test. And I think now we need to wait and see what Andy wants us to do.

[llimaa (llimaa)]

@John Montgomery:

That's the problem... an operating system that is mostly maintained by a community that consists largely of volunteers. Canonical have to employ an Armada of developers, else this Distro will never get out of this sittuation. Today its the sound, tomorrow the graphic card, etc...

By Userfriendly I mean an official and supported way to fix it. Like apt-get update and then upgrade.
A solution easy enough for the grandpa.

It's not Andys fault don't get me wrong but its sad that linux/Ubuntu/etc. depends of Robin Hoods like him.

Arnaud Soyez solution is not a solution, it is a workaround. I want to startup my OS with the volume settings i left when turned the system off. An official solution that does not break stuff on the next upgrade, which this one would probably do.

[Billy V (wnvalliant)]

I just ran the automatic updates and it hosed the sound again. I tried repeating the steps used the first time and I have had no such luck yet. Is there anyone from the sound team working this? Is there any way that we can go back through all of these fixes and come up with a form of macro that we could run in order to fix the speakers? I appologize, but I am a novice at ubuntu, and I really don't want to ever go back to windows... ever. But I am forced with the uphill battle of somehow managing to learn another operating sys. The best I have been able to do so far is copy and paste commands from some of these fixes and get the speakers working.. But that was before the updates that got released sometime around june 25 2009.. If someone that is more fluent at ubuntu (than me) could release another walk-through that I could just copy and paste into the terminal program, It would be much appreciated.

Also Thank you all for all of the hard work that you have put into addressing this bug and the others that you are involved in, that is the only reason that Ubuntu/open source freeware is free. I salute you.

HP Mini 1030nr
PS if there are more gripes, please open a seperate string for blamestorming/lynching volunteers that are trying to make things better. I don't think that any of them deserve to be treated this way after working so hard for so long for the very users like myself and other novices new to Ubuntu. Don't bite the hand that feeds you :)

Thanx
Billy

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

In case of kernel updates, if you followed my work around, you have to re-run:
sudo m-a a-i alsa-source
sudo reboot

And please ANYONE (billy especially), don't change the statuses of this bug unless you are planning on fixing it, or you are a package maintainer!

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I can't put it back as Won't fix, so I set it as Invalid in alsa-driver. but this is certainly not In Progress!

[llimaa (llimaa)]

And here an Arnaud Soyez method addon to optimize the procedure to start the system with the volume settings you left on last shutdown, reboot, etc.

Create a file halt.local in /etc with:

1.) sudo touch /etc/halt.local

2.) gksu gedit /etc/halt.local
Add this content into that file:

#!/bin/sh -e
alsactl store
exit 0

3.) Then cd to /etc/rc0.d and create a symlink with
sudo ln -s /etc/halt.local K00halt.local

4.) And in /etc/rc.local you have to add this before the exit 0:
alsactl restore

Have fun...

[Andre Tavares (anderos)]

Just reporting: I have the problem in a HP mini 1033cl. No sound from built-in speaker, but with headphones or whatever from sound jack or output. I tried the workaround (they all) and I still have no sound. Its probable that after kernel and ALSA scheduled update it will be fixed? If so, when it will be the next actualization of these components?

[nh2 (nh2)]

I experience the same problems on a Samsung NC10 on Jaunty UNR.
Can anyone tell me if one of the fixes/workarounds has gone into Karmic? Sound works well there.

[Andre Tavares (anderos)]

Reporting again: I have sound in my HP mini 1033cl.

 I had tried Marambios' workaround <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/11>, but it failed. I just kept the lines added in [/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf] (without brackets, of course). Well, yesterday Ubuntu updated the kernel to 2.6.28-13-generic, and some reboots later (I don't know exactly why), I have sound in the built-in speakers. I have to say again: I kept the lines added in alsa-base.conf

# Finally, edit file alsa-base.conf

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

# Add these lines:
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

Maybe it will also work to someone else. Thank you all.

[James Lewis (james-fsck)]

Can someone confirm if this is resolved in the base distribution without any workaround as I need to work out how to back out the workarounds above since it also interferes with USB/Bluetooth headset.

[Paaguti-hotmail (paaguti-hotmail)]

No... unfortunately no... I have made a fresh install on a MINI 110c-1010ES and after the install a sudo apt-get update/upgrade and I have no sound. Trying minichoco's PPA right now..

Can't we figure out which drivers the HP MIE uses? That's Ubuntu based, and
sound works fine.

@Chad... that would be great. AFAIK the only problem is that the MIE doesn't seem to

[James Lewis (james-fsck)]

@Chad

We know which drivers work, infact it worked in 8.10... I have been using Arnaud Soyez workaround since before the official release of 9.04. I'm quite surprised that it's taken so long to filter a fix for this through but I am guessing that a real fix needs a lot of kernel work, or a kernel version bump, and that isn't desirable.

If somone who knows exactly what the problem is could post an explanation then I'm sure a lot of people would be happier, but it seems to me that we're not gonna see a fix until 9.10.

[Finog (finog)]

A fresh install of Jaunty on the HP Mini 1000 1030NR had sound working out of the box, with only one slight tweak.

It's necessary to go into the volume manager, enable the visibility of the recording device "Import0 Mux", and turn up the volume its volume. No other changes were necessary for me.

I have not yet tested the microphone.

[coCoKNIght (cocoknight)]

Finog: Thanks very much!
Finally I have sound again!
This is on an upgraded jaunty. My Mini is a 1020LA I think.
How did you figure that out?

[coCoKNIght (cocoknight)]

Mic works for me. Just make sure "Capture" is not muted and on max. And that the "Import Source" options - which you can make visible in the "Volume Control Preferences" window - are set to "Line"

[LiamG (liamg-uw)]

I have the same problem but unfortunately none of the solutions listed above have worked. I'm running Jaunty on an HP Mini 1000 (110) and have tried countless proposed solutions countless times. I know that this thread has been dead for a little while, but I would really appreciate some help.

I can confirm Finog'a simple tweak worked for me.

Under volume preferences, I checked the recording device "Import0 Mux" check box. Then confirmed that its volume was up and not on mute. Had sound immediately after. This is on a fresh install with the 2.6.28-13 kernel.

Andy, please let us know if you need testing done, or any other reporting that may help.

[modulistic (modulistic)]

I can also confirm that this was no longer a bug but a configuration issue.

I would like to note here that the "Import0 Mux" appears under the "Recording" tab, and that it has two "mutable items", the one that was muted for me was the one with the microphone icon, the speaker icon does not seem to have any effect, as far as I can tell.

I have Ubuntu Netbook Remix, up to date:
Linux black 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:57:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

My hardware is a Compaq Mini 701ES

Thanks a lot everybody!

[Finog (finog)]

Glad to be of help. For the record, I'm using the 2.6.28-13-generic kernel right now.

I'm afraid I still haven't figured out how to convince the Mic to work. Turning Dac0 up will produce an extremely high-pitched, loud sound, though.

Pardon me for raining on the fix, but if an _input_ configuration item
controls the use of an _ouput_ device, how is that not a bug?

As many have pointed out, this "just worked" on 8.10; I never had to
mess with any of the volume control settings to get output from the
speakers.

FTR, I am on a standard HP Mini 1000 running the following kernel:
Linux mini 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC

[taspankya (taspankya)]

cRaig, you are correct. This is still not a true fix, but until the person assigned to this bug (Andy inthis case) fixes it we are out of luck. This is still the easiest workaround by far. Again my plee to Andy is "let us help you help us"... give us something to test.

[LiamG (liamg-uw)]

I have no "Import0 Mux" line on the volume control (the device selected is HDA Intel (ALSA Mixer). I recently followed Arnaud's "apt-get install alsa-source module-assistant" method--could that have changed the mixer so that there is no "Import0 Mux" device? If so, how do I get it back?

[Finog (finog)]

I believe I also tried following that method, although it didn't make "Import0 Mux" go away. If you've tried following other "install from source" guides recently it may be that you, like me, have hopelessly discombobulated your system. Hence, my fresh install. Unless anyone on the thread has a better idea, that would be my recommendation - it will also put you back on the deb-threads for receiving the patch/fix when it becomes available. If you do a fresh install, make sure to set your home directory to a separate partition, it makes the process easier.

[coCoKNIght (cocoknight)]

Finog: Did you follow my instructions to make the Mic working? Also make sure that in "System"-->"Preferences"-->"Multimedia Systems Selector" you've set "Default Input" to "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture"
LiamG: HDA Intel (ALSA Mixer) is correct, if you click on "Preferences", you should see an "Import0 Mux" that can be enabled.

[LiamG (liamg-uw)]

"Import0 Mux" just isn't there, I'm afraid. Is there a text based way of un-muting it?

Finog, my installation is only a few days old, as I too have frazzled several installations by tampering with ALSA. Literally the only thing I've dome to this one is run the "alsa-source module-assistant" that Arnaud suggested. I even loaded my live CD version of linux from USB drive in case I'd lost the mixer channel somewhere along the way--still no Import0 Mux.

Incidentally, with only the "alsa-source module-assistant" having been run, will I have been taken off the deb-threads, as you warned?

[taspankya (taspankya)]

LiamG
Maybe you need to run to get the 2.6.28-13-generic kernel in order for Import0 Mux to show, if you are not on that newer kernel already... Not sure though.

[Finog (finog)]

LiamG,
I don't think just having run that would take you off deb-threads. You have checked the "Preferences" panel in the "Volume Control" dialog and "Import0 Mux" isn't there, yes? If not, I'm not sure where it's gone. I'm running the HP Mini 1000 1030NR, it may be that you have a slightly different model... I'm not sure what else it may be.

coCoKNIght, thanks so much for following up, that worked!

To flesh coCoKNIght's solution out a bit more. You'll want System->Preferences->Multimedia Systems Selector (if you don't see it, check in System->Prefences->Menu).

Under the "Default Input" heading, make sure that Plugin reads "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" and that Device reads "STAC92xx Analog" (or some such).

Interestingly, the "Default" device setting seems to be working for Output, but not Input. It would seem that a fresh installation for HP Mini 1000 1030NR, 2.6.28-13-generic kernel does work, but requires you to fidget with what are, to me, inobvious settings.

It is too bad that we can't move these fidgets somewhere more visible on this Bug List so people wandering in for the first time will try them before mucking about with install-from-source.

[Theodore Fox (theoforx)]

Same observation regarding the absence of Import0 Mux as LiamG. Running the HP Mini 110-1030CA. Absent on a clean install as well as after running the Arnaud Soyez fix.

I'm running into the same issue: no "Import0 Mux". I had tried
installing from source and, as you say, no dice. I did a completely
fresh install last night to get rid of those changes. The only things
I've installed since are Thunderbird and the Flash installer.
I have the 1030NR, like you. Kernel is 2.6.28-13-generic on Jaunty UNR.

[Gamabunta (tliang12)]

HP Mini 1030nr with 2.6.28-13-generic.

Finog's fix worked for me.

All I did was,
1. Volume Icon -> Volume Control -> Preferences -> Check "Import0 Mux"
2. In the "Recording" tab, unmute the microphone icon

I'm still having trouble locating this "Import0 Mux". The list of
devices I have is

Master Playback
Headphone Playback
PCM Playback
Front Playback
Front Mic Recording
Line In Recording
Capture Recording
Capture 1 Recording
DAC0 Recording
DAC1 Recording
Mono Mux Options
Digital Input Source Options
Digital Input Source Options

I've activated them all, made sure none are muted and volume is up. ALL
of the "recording" devices keep defaulting to the "mic" icon being
muted, even when I un-mute them. When I go back they're all muted again.
Nothing has any effect.

[roachdaniel (danroach3)]

I had Mauricio's solution (posted on 2009-04-25) working for me for some time. I also added Ski's suggestions (posted the same day) to prevent the fix from changing after update .
Everything was working including the volume buttons on the keyboard. After an update yesterday I lost my sound so I did the fix again only I used the latest ALSA 1.0.20. All sound items (speakers, mic and headphones) are working again except the volume buttons (not a big deal but it was fun when they did).
BTW I am using 2.6.28-14 generic kernel. I have an HP 1030 NR that I purchased with XP and switched to Ubuntu NBR.

[J Nelson (jnmnus)]

Hi all,

I have an HP 6530b notebook with the following codecs:
<code>
$ egrep 'Codec:|Subsystem Id:' /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
/proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Analog Devices AD1984A

/proc/asound/card0/codec#1:Codec: LSI ID 1040
/proc/asound/card0/codec#1:Subsystem Id: 0x103c1378
</code>

Like others, I had the problem of sound not coming out from the laptop speakers, but sound worked from the headphone jack. I'm running Jaunty with:

 kernel 2.6.28-14-generic
 alsa-base 10.0.18.dsfg-1ubuntu8
 alsa-utils 1.0.18-1ubuntu11

The solution I found that worked for me is much simpler than the fixes proposed in this thread; no special kernel, no recompiling of alsa sources, no download of special alsa package. Instead I followed the directions here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269027/comments/31

I'm passing this along in hopes that it helps others too.

-Jeff

[Gerald (gforel)]

There are weird issues if you boot with an headphone plug in the output : there will be no sound at all through the headphones in these conditions.

To recover headphone output, I found that I have to cold boot with headphone unplugged, wait for the Gnome desktop to come, then plug the headphone back.

[coCoKNIght (cocoknight)]

I can confirm what Gerald said.

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

HP110, Ubuntu Netbook Remix here, 2.6.28-13-generic. No sound without headphones.

Arnaud's solution did not change my situation, I still got headphone sound, but nothing in speakers.

Mauricio's solution left me without sound even when using headphones. (Actually, if I plug the headphones half way in, I can hear sound, but when they are flush, I get nothing).

Did not find Import0 Mux, but checked all the other inputs and cranked all their volumes, still only get sound when headphone jack is partway in.

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

Trying to cycle through options after
"options snd-hda-intel model="
in "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf", since that seems to work for some.
So far "laptop" and "hp-m4" fail.

"aplay -l" showed STAC92xx Analog, so I gunzipped "/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz" and consulted it, hoping for some suggestions.

No luck so far, but those sources might give help to people with other cards/configs.

[Mauricio Marambio (alt256)]

@Thomas:
I couldn't find any suggestions about sound in jaunty for your specific netbook (HP110). Also, I'm not sure if there are hardware differences regarding sound card.

aplay -l gives me:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I'm running 2.6.28-14-generic, but also worked for 2.6.28-13-generic before.

I'm using solution posted before (comment #63) since I've installed Jaunty, and always did the trick for me. Between kernel upgrades I have have to do the compilation process again... just run the script. Verify that you have mentioned packages installed before compilation process.
UPDATE: you could try using latest alsa version. In comment 63: where it says 1.0.19, change it to 1.0.20... I've using that version without problems so far.

Also, you could try this in your alsa-base.conf file:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1
or
options snd-hda-intel model=ref-no-jd

(just make sure to reboot after changes)

Good luck!

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I just tried Karmic alpha-3 and the sound *works* (HP Mini 1000 1120NR)! *BUT* there is a crackling sound lasting a few milliseconds, it seems to happen a little while after the last sound has been played (maybe some kind of powersaving?). This will probably be very annoying to end-users.

- In dmesg, I get this, but this might not be related as I don't get it every single time I get crackles:
hda-intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x00af0900

- Some more info:

[Martin Albisetti (beuno)]

I had the fix applied in Jaunty, and on upgrade to karmic, it still works.
I'm not sure if it's because the fix stuck, or if karmic alpha3 fixes it, but I have sound :)

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

@Mauricio

Thanks for your feedback, good to know the hardware appears the same.

I tried model=hp-m4, laptop, ref, no-jd, ref-no-jd, and dell-m4-1, then tried these with alsa .20, but still no luck.

Made sure the packages were installed. Is there any way to verify the make/configure/installs are working correctly?

In System-Prefs-Sound I changed the first four options to ALSA, then even tried changing the fifth option to ALSA as well, in case we somehow had different options there.

One thing I may not be following correctly, though, jasonq's instructions:
- In volume control, you'll want to set the input sources to "line" and "front mic" for the HDA Intel (Alsa mixer).

In volume control, I used preferences to make sure every source is visible, unmuted everything and pumped it up before testing sound. I think the settings for input sources are under the Options tab. But when I go to the options tab, my options don't permit jason's suggestions. I see three drop down menus.

The first is labeled Mono Mux, and it has the options DAC0, DAC1, and Mixer. It is currently on DAC0.

The second is Digital Input Source, and it has: Analog Inputs, Digital Mic 1, Digital Mic 2. It is currently set on Analog Inputs.

The third dropdown is exactly the same as the second. Digital Input Source, same options, same setting.

Is there an option I'm missing? Am I in the wrong tab?

Thanks for the help,
Thomas

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

Ooh, maybe jasonq meant:

System-Preferences-Sound:
Devices tab:
Default Mixer Tracks section:
Device: HDA Intel (ALSA Mixer):

select "Front Mic" and "Line In"

Should anything besides those two be selected? It seems to only let me select two actually. So is it "Line In"? And not "Master" or anything else?

I selected those, closed the Sound Preferences, but did not immediately get sound. Maybe rebooting...

[Finog (finog)]

Now here's an interesting thing... when I'm using Skype with my Mic on, the Mic's volume is constantly adjusting itself downwards. No good solutions, but a simple bash script will improve things. Similar ideas will solve other ghostly phenomena:

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
  sleep 0.5
  amixer set Capture 100% > /dev/null
done

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

Skype's a separate issue, but you can go into Skype's Options->Sound Devices and uncheck "Allow Skype to Automatically Adjust Mixer Levels" to fight that problem.

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

Using Mauricio's suggestions on kernel -14 and ALSA -20, but still no luck. I was working through the Sound Troubleshooting guide when I noticed something interesting.
( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting )

The guide helps you generate a long ALSA info page. My ALSA info page is here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1dee76a881f8e3dfa53fed17b931f8b6a2508ffd

It lists my codec as "IDT 92HD81B1X5", even though "aplay -l" makes it look like my codec should have something like "STAC92xx" in it.

I couldn't find the IDT codec for any more detailed kernel support here:
http://is.gd/1Xdjf (git alsa project kernel configuration guide).

So I was stopped short of completing the troubleshooter.

Anything jump out about this that's fishy? I appreciate all the help I'm getting trying to debug this issue.

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

SOUND! WOOHOO!

I finally added "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"

I have been editing "alsa-base.conf", but it was the edit in "alsa-base" without the ".conf" extension that did the trick.

Other than that one line, "alsa-base" is empty, so I thought people editing that without the .conf just made a typo. On the other hand, maybe my "alsa-base" file was overriding the .conf file somehow.

Anyway, works now, for anyone else for whom Mauricio's solution doesn't, you might start by checking your alsa-base without the .conf extension.

[Schnecki (schneckenreitherm)]

Got microphone to work:
1. Did these 3 steps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=ee9732a9b053e16bc9684c4a6f4fcde9&p=1997541&postcount=4

BUT: You have to change /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

2. Activated the new tracks under Volume Control - Preferences

3. Set for first one: Line
    Second one: Microphone

4. Tried different inputs in Audio Recorder

Everything works perfect. Probably you have to reboot between step 1 and 2

Hope it will also work for you

[LiamG (liamg-uw)]

Thomas B:

Congraulations on getting the sound working. I'll surely be trying the steps you took.

Here's something funny though: I'm pretty sure that the file "alsabase" (without the "conf") didn't exist before you edited it. the gedit command will create the file you ask it to edit if it is not there, hence you found it blank (linux gurus, back me up here). But you got it working, so this suggests to me, amature that I am, that you might have stumbled upon the flaw in the alsa driver. I know that alsa switched between using "alsabase" and "alsabase.conf" when they released one of their update versions. Could it be that some part of the new driver poiints to "alsabase"--a file that doesn't exist?

Just a hypothesis.

Has anyone else found that they accidentaly type the word "alsa" when trying to type the word "also" during normal speach? I have.

[LiamG (liamg-uw)]

Damn it, it worked! I wrote that last message before testing Thomas B's suggestion because I've been trying for about two months to get the damn speakers to work and nothing has ever worked, and I was convinced that this would be no exception. I almost had a heart attack when I heard sound coming out of the speakers!

Let me reiterate: I have to *create* the file "alsabase" (without the ".conf") to get the speakers to work. I then had to go to the mixer and activate and unmute the control called "surround" It's also worth pointing out that the mixer is significantly different than it was before I created "alsabase"

Fantastic! Thanks Thomas!

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

Strange, my "alsa-base" already had a line in it, setting "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to some other value before I changed it. I think it was "laptop", but I'm not 100%.

I suspect that I made a typo early on trying to fix this problem, dumped a line in an empty file I created, and then forgot it was there to undo it.

What's strange is that this early typo blocked my other attempts to fix the problem. Might be that alsa defines some static variables for its options, and gives priority to these files that probably shouldn't ever exist.

So what about Liam's success? If his fix wasn't being blocked, why did creating the file help? Well, it sounds like he created "alsabase" with no hyphen. Maybe that's one step up in the priority, and by placing a line there, it overrides that setting in either "alsa-base" or "alsa-base.conf".

If I'm right, Liam will be able to check those three files ("alsabase", "alsa-base" and "alsa-base.conf") for "options snd-hda-intel model=". Harmonizing the ".conf" version to whatever file he just created and then deleting the new "alsabase" file should leave him with working sound if I'm right.

[SKPeterson (skp-bumblebeehill)]

I appreciate the dialog on this list. Special thanks to Mauricio and to Finog.

I have used two different fixes, each of which worked on a different HP Mini. Both were Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop (not UNR).

Original HP Mini 1000: #135 Finog 2009-07-07 ("Import0 Mux")

Newer HP Mini 110: #63 Mauricio Marambio 2009-04-25.
I used Alsa 1.0.20. I put Mauricio's suggested additions in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (as he had suggested, I did use the .conf extension).

[SwissMike (mvaneerd)]

I had major audio difficulties as well on an HP Mini 1199 ("Vivienne Tan" model), using Ubuntu 9.04. After installing Mauricio's (comment #62) ALSA 1.0.19 drivers + config changes, I only got audio on my headset.

I guessed "If upgrading to ALSA 1.0.19 makes a difference... then what would happen if I upgrade to 1.0.20?". After all, Maurico wrote his note in Apr/09 when v 1.0.20 was not yet available. Another guy explained how to install 1.0.20 (see http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/05/09/upgrade-alsa-1020-on-ubuntu-jaunty-904/), and... everything WORKS! Straight out of the box. No need to change audio settings. From speakers + headset. And Skype works straightaway.

So Maurizo was right, and time caught up with him. And I have a very happy member of the house using her new HP Mini.

Sound Working on HP mini 110!!

These are the steps I took:

1) added "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" (not sure it did anything but listing it just in case)
2) reboot
3) Volume -> Volume Control -> Preferences -> check EVERYTHING
4) Unmuted "Surround"

Sound on headphones and speakers work!

Hope this helps someone else.

[mjurow (mjurow)]

hi all running UNR 9.04 on an HP mini 110. had the sound problem which was fixed neatly by nervzy's fix above but cant get the microphone to work for the life of me. i cant quite distill what of the above is a fix for the mic and what isnt and im a bit scared to break what i just fixed!

can anyone clarify a mic fix specifically for the 110?

[Andre Tavares (anderos)]

I have sound from speakers and headphones, volume is ok. But I can't fix the built-in microphone or any external mic. I checked all the options in "preferences" but it doesn't display any "line" option in input source, just "front mic". I can't use Skype or any other voice recorder/transmission program.

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

Hi, I've got a suitable patch to work my HP Mini 1000, the kernel deb can be downloaded from:

http://people.canonical.com/~cking/sru-318942/

Can you test this (HP Mini 1000 ONLY!) and let me know. Also, can you attach the first 5 lines from /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 if it differs from the following:

Codec: IDT 92HD75B2X5
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x111d7608
Subsystem Id: 0x103c361a
Revision Id: 0x100102

Some versions of the HP Mini 1000 may suffer from a static crackle when you reboot - this is a known issue. Apperently a BIOS upgrade may fix this crackle problem.

Thanks, Colin

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

Please note that this bug is focused specifically on the HP Mini 1000 only. The fixes here are only applicable to that model, please file a separate bug if you have issues on another HP Mini model. Thanks!

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

"please file a separate bug if you have issues on another HP Mini model"

Sorry for any confusion I caused.

The discussions above ultimately reveal that the HP mini 100 uses the same sound hardware and faces the same bug. I originally made it sound like the HP 100 behaved differently, but our discussion on that eventually concluded that the difference was my fault.

I know you don't want to mislead Mini 100 users to make them think that these solutions were designed with that model in mind, but I think we've now established that the sound chips there are the same, and that the bug that model faces is the same.

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

I'm not 100% convinced that having the same chip necessarily means going to be wired up the same, e.g. pin configurations may be subtly different and BIOS config may be different.

For this bug, I've got a fix for the HP Mini 1000 - and I'd like that verified before pursuing different models.

[Thomas B (tbrownback)]

I have submitted another bug for the Mini 100 here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/413181

I respectfully disagree that the bugs should be separate, as they feature the same hardware, same symptoms, and same workaround. That dissent noted, it is apparently in the minority, so you have your new bug.

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Colin, I would love to try your fixes but I use the lpia kernel, and I don't think I can try them using a i386 live cd as they will be discarded at reboot.

[Jonathan T (jtidmore)]

Thanks Colin.

I have HP Mini 1000 (model 1100). Did a fresh install of 9.04 UNR, installed all updates, and then installed your kernel deb.

Sound works out of the speakers without changing anything else!

I had this issue with an HP 1030nr, and the fix detailed in post 178 got my audio back. Thanks Colin!

For the record, my proc/asound/card0/codec#0 appears to be completely blank both before and after applying the kernel image.

[Jean-Marc Saffroy (saffroy)]

I tested the patched kernel from Colin (comment 178), and it solved the problem I had on a Compaq mini 700 EF running UNR (before that, I would get audio from speakers right after boot, but no longer after plugging/unplugging headphones in the audio jack, and it would come back after a suspend-to-ram/resume). FWIW the first lines of /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 match with what was expected:

Codec: IDT 92HD75B2X5
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x111d7608
Subsystem Id: 0x103c361a
Revision Id: 0x100102

Now I just hope the fix quickly makes it in an Ubuntu kernel update, because the Gnome package manager keeps bugging me, telling that there is a 2.6.28-14.47 available (official deb collides with Colin's).

Thanks for the great job!

[Lil' Kim (kim-jong-il)]

I too have had success with Colin's patched kernel (#178) on my HP Mini 1000 (1120NR).

Nice work Colin. Thank you.

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Lil' kim, Jean-Marc, Michael, We need to see if you hear a crackling sound a few seconds after a sound has been played (see bug 404554 i reported in karmic for the Mini 1000).
If no, Colin, could these changes be ported to Karmic?

[Jean-Marc Saffroy (saffroy)]

Arnaud, with Colin's test kernel (or official Jaunty kernels) I don't hear any crackling noise after playing a sound. I do hear one when rebooting though.

BTW I assume the patch Colin applied to his test kernel didn't make it in the newer 2.6.28-15.48 kernel, because it still has the same audio problem for me (Compaq Mini 700 EF).

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

SRU Justification:

Impact: HP Mini 1000 speakers do not work, and audio only works through
the headphone jack.

Fix: Patch attached includes correct Intel HDA audio verb table and
mixer settings to enable speakers for the HP Mini 1000 (Audio chipset:
IDT 92HD75B2X5, Vendor Id 0x111d7608, Subsystem Id: 0x103c361a, Revision
Id: 0x100102).

Testcase: Without the patch, no speaker output. With the patch, speakers
work and also headphone jack plug/unplug works reliably.

This has already been tested by myself on two different HP Mini 1000
builds with BIOS revision F.10 and also by Jonathan T (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/318942/comments/184 )

[mjurow (mjurow)]

i'm a bit lost in all those new changes, has anyone put together a fix for the external mic??

[llimaa (llimaa)]

I'm sorry for ubuntu. It's sad to see it with so many unfixed Bugs. In my opinion ubuntu is not becoming better at all. This shows that ubuntu or linux development at all does not have a good quality control to ensure that hardware that was working before keeps working. You can't even install the newest software packages wich are being adverted all over the web.

For me ubuntu failed as a Desktop OS. People want simply their stuff working, which does with windows. Maybe Google has more luck with their OS. Have fun tweaking on this, i'm going to be productive with win7, wich works out of the box, don't need to unmute micro to enable speakers. Thats like telling somebody to close the window to let sun light comes in.

Ubuntu 9.04 = FAILED

[sdt1 (stevendtaylor)]

Thank you soooooo much for this step-by-step instruction. I have spent the better part of two days finding this fix!!! I have an HP 1030NR with the Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family), and this fixed my sound problem! I am just wondering if there is a setting which will prevent future updates from overwriting the driver changes??

[Jean-Marc Saffroy (saffroy)]

@sdt1

You can set a package to be on hold. As root:

# echo <package> hold | dpkg --set-selections

This is what I did to prevent Colin's test kernel from being replaced by the regular Ubuntu kernel.
This change can be reverted with:

# echo <package> install | dpkg --set-selections

[sdt1 (stevendtaylor)]

@Jean-Marc Saffroy

Thank you for the commands. My original comment was actually @Mauricio (comment #63 in this thread), wherein I followed his installation instructions for patch, gettext, libncurses5-dev, xmlto, and xmltoman packages, along with all the alsa 1.0.19 drivers, lib, utils, etc. That is what solved my sound problem. Now I see that Colin later created and made available a new test kernel which solves this sound problem as well. My questions now are: what have I done so far; which would have been the better solution; and how do I keep from "breaking" it (keep the sound working as it is now, without missing out on important updates)? I'm very new to Linux and Ubuntu, so this is a learning curve for me. I have to say, however, that I am really liking Ubuntu (UNR), and it runs amazingly fast on my netbook, utilising only 3.4GB of my 16GB SSD!

Cheers.

I've recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop (64 bit) on my HP Pavilion dv3550ee.
I'm experiencing the same problem, main speakers does not work, but headphone works.

There is something about 150 comments here, I could not follow them to resolve this known issue, how can I find a simple guided solution to my problem?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted linux into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Chad (csa819)]

Not sure what they did, but the Jolicloud (UNR based) distro alpha released
an update a couple of weeks ago that fixed the sound issues.

[James Lewis (james-fsck)]

Excellent stuff... I assume we will see this fix in Karmic?

Was this a particularly sticky problem to solve correctly... I'm sure it would help a lot of people to understand the process and how bugs like this in both LTS and non-LTS releases are handled.

Clearly this was in the non-LTS release, but for a bug posted before the 9.04 release it does seem to have taken an extremely long time to resolve. many people have workarounds in place for 4 or 5 months, and certainly if I did not want to test the fix, I would be waiting for Karmic rather than try to back out those workarounds, or re-install.

I'm really not trying to criticize here although it does sound like it I know... I appreciate that there's a lot of upstream projects and other teams which need to be involved in this fix, and it needs to be done properly rather than just lashed up... especially given the sound problems which have been surfacing with pulse (Not that I think pulse is bad, it's potentially great)...

I just think that this could do with a bit of a post-mortem after 5 months and 200 comments so that people can understand what the issues were.

[Mortaza Doulaty (mortaza-doulaty)]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I've attached the report.

I'm looking forward to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

[WaywardGeek (waywardgeek)]

I've added jaunty-proposed as Martin Pitt requested, and apt-get upgrade on my HP Mini 1000. Speakers work! Front Mic does not :-(

I have not put much effort into tracking down the mic issue, and my system is far from a fresh install. After reboot, speaker is mute by default, until I manually enable it in volume control.

[WaywardGeek (waywardgeek)]

After setting inputs to line and line, the front mic works, but very poorly. The noise is terrible. Also, after each reboot, I have to fix the volume control settings all over again.

[bbryan (bruce-bryan)]

Tried both work arounds on my 1030nr. One worked for a day, but then stopped. I tried the patch in post 178 but it said I didn't have permission to make some of the changes. This is my first time trying to use linux so I'm a newbie but would really like to like it. Will this fix ever be available through a simple upgrade? If not, any idea why I wouldn't have permission to change things on my system when I am logged in as the only user. Thanks in advance.

[JBC (jbcatte)]

@bbryan: probably the first work-around stopped to work because you made an update of ubuntu including a kernel update: you have to rerun the fix each time the kernel is updated.
the post 178 patch is a new kernel including the fix, IO have no idea why you cannot install it. Are you able to make updates and install new applications?

[kevpen (kevpen)]

does this mean this bug is fixed and a simple update will make it gone?

It means I'm restoring the bug state to what it was before Josias changed
it, apparently accidentally.

Currently, the 'fix released' only applies to the version of the kernel in
the development release (karmic).

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Note that this bug is non-existent in Karmic (The sound was already working because there is alsa version >= 0.19 which works with 92HD75B2X5), but this fix might contain some improvements anyway.

complete newbie here...
but i just wanted to add to the discussion in saying that,

I'm running 9.04 on an hp MINI 210
soundcard IDT 92HD81B1X5

and headphone sound is now working thanks to mauricio's fix
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/11),
and nurvzy's comment
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942/comments/175)
concerning unchecking mute buttons in the volume control panel.

However......... and here's the kicker, I still don't have speaker sound. any suggestions?
for further reference, my ALSA profile:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2fd9dbd37e3be67215a905d093f9e90906b349d5

thanks for any and all suggestions!
(this has so far been really positive for me, debugging the sound enough to get headphone sound thanks to this thread -- what a breakthrough after a few days of toiling with fixes!)

[Ken Pratt (kenpratt)]

I just updated my HP Mini 110 to the latest Jaunty (Remix) packages and still only have sound via headphones. I've not yet read through all the comments on this ticket but did notice it says fix released. Was the fix supposed to fix the internal speaker problem?

[Alexander Holzinger (mail-lxne)]

I got the same problem on my Toshiba NB205.
I'm running UNR 9.10 with Kernel Linux 2.6.31-20-generic.

Sound works via headphones but not via the internal speakers.
