Running 9.04 on a Dell Inspiron 14 (model # is 1440, but is not the same as the previous-gen 1440). Very similar to the Studio 14 as far as the core hardware goes.

The problem I'm having is no audio from the built-in speakers. The sound does work, but only from the headphone jack. I've checked the mixers: Master, Front, and PCM are all set to 100%. The speakers do work in Windows and for the system bell.

I've tried 9.10 alpha 3 and the speakers work, so maybe there's a simple fix?

CoyoteDen, as count_alucard suggested on this post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7743076&postcount=1) I updated alsa and it did work. You may want to check it out.

Yep, that worked. I now have a channel for the speakers. Thanks!
