Sound doesn't work on Intel ALC1200 (ICH10 chipset)

[Scott Bronson]

The built-in audio on my motherboard (Asus P5QL-EM HDMI) is totally broken in Jaunty. The audio device isn't recognized at all and the following appears in the logs:

syslog:Apr 16 18:38:20 rox-jaunty kernel: [ 10.056003] hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x100f0000
syslog:Apr 16 18:38:20 rox-jaunty kernel: [ 11.060003] hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode: last cmd=0x100f0000

I managed to find a workaround here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=203389

So, if I create the file /etc/modprobe.d/hda-intel.conf with the following contents

       options snd-hda-intel model=auto probe_mask=1

audio works 100%. The important bit is the "probe_mask=1"

Is there any way to include this in Jaunty so things can work out of the box?

I second that this solution works ( I came via the same fedora thread )

[Paula (pmgazz)]

Didn't work for me, knocked out networking! Commented out the line but still no sound although networking is restored.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Could you please try 9.10 final or 10.04 alpha 1?

[Scott Bronson (bronson)]

Hi Daniel. Yes, this bug appears to be fixed with Karmic. I just did a clean install and everything worked out of the box.
