snd-hda-intel sound - Ubuntu 64bit - Jaunty - It worked!

Hello,

I found a lot of guys with same problem.

After reading some threads here, I did the following things to make my sound works OK:

Laptop Model:
Gateway P-6831FX
Core2duo Xtreme 3ghz
4gb RAM
8800mGTS
Sound: IDT 92DT71B8X
lspci -v:

Code:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Gateway 2000 Device 0690
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 2294
        Memory at f4600000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

1 - put following lines on /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Code:

---

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable=1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

---

Note that my notebook is an Gateway, BUT i'm using model hd-m4 (HP DV laptops) because apears to have the same chipset (IDT 92DT71B8X)

The list of the supported models you can find on following place:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentat...dio-Models.txt

Code:

---

STAC92HD71B*
============
  ref                Reference board
  dell-m4-1        Dell desktops
  dell-m4-2        Dell desktops
  dell-m4-3        Dell desktops
  hp-m4                HP dv laptops

I've tried with some Gateway listed models, but none of them worked, so, i'll continue to use the hp-m4 model.

A strange thing happend after all configurations. I needed to put/remove the headphone jacket to turn on the laptop speakers. I think that is maybe because the model hp-m4 isn't complete compatible.

So, I hope it help.

best regards.

David

I had begun to think that it wasn't going to ever get sound. I'd go through threads and think that I didn't want to try stuff because I didn't think it would work. Then I saw this one, and I just knew somewhere that the right line to the alsa-base.conf file would fix it, and in that list was the answer for my Adamo:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq

Now to fix some of the actual sounds themselves since I actually have audio. Thanks for the link David.

Hi!

I had already thrown in the towel! I had tried every new tip, nothing! Thank you so much David, IT WORKED! Thanks!!

So it works, but we have to plug something into the headphone port, and pull it out to have the speakers start working?

Hi
I gauss I have a same problem.
I have a Gateway T-6161 and I have Ubuntu 9.4 64bit on it.
You know, its speakers work well but I don't hear sound in headphone. I edit alsa-base like your said, but it still doesn't work. I test other model but it still doesn't work.

here is my Playback list

Code:

---

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Yes. It was a little strange, but after putting the righ line on alsa-config, and do the reboot, I had to do that.

Other thing that I hear the could work is pull the kernel option "irqpoll" on grub.

You may try that.

Go to /boot/grub/menu.lst
Fine the line kopt..
Put irqpoll on the end of the line.

I´ve found a thread on launchpad saying that.

Just for the record, this worked on my gateway 6860-fx. The mic always get re-muted when I close the volume control box, but it's useable. Thank you very much!

Insert the following in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

Code:

---

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

---

made the trick.

I have an 6860FX laptop. Running 32bit jaunty on it.
Don't use the mic, so I can't really tell much about it.
