I have a Dell XPS 1340 and I have installed 11.04. It is up to date. I am having problems with the sound. I have no sound from the speakers but the headphone jacks work. I posted a bug report here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/747960
If anyone has any ideas please help. I have tried a various settings for the options line in alsa-base.conf, always making sure to alsa force-reload and check alsamixer and turn up any dead channels. Thanks!

So I got this laptop used, and apparently the previous owner broke the jack in such a way that it senses that there are headphones plugged in at all times. I took it apart and saw the damage. Maybe this weekend I will de-solder the headphone jack that is damaged, as there are 2 of them.:lolflag:
