[sgtsquatlow]

Hi im pretty new to linux, ive only been using it for a year or so. I have installed xubuntu on my tx2115nr laptop. I used ndiswrapper to get my wireless working but i have no audio. And i dont know the first thing involved in fixing this or changing it. ive installed alsamixergui which gives me this proc info..

Try

gksudo /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Copy and paste the line

options snd-hda-intel model=hp
at the bottom of the file. Save and reboot. If you get no joy with this, you might try

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop

The snd-hda-intel driver does not have a model that works perfect for our laptop (the tx2000 series).

Really the only way to get it perfect is to modify the source code. One way to maybe get our laptop's sound better is to ask at the alsa mailing lists or the ubuntu sound mailing lists.

Oh man eggdeng you are the official hero of the day. Ive been working on that for months. Thanks a ton dude. the first part did it right off the bat. Where do you go to learn stuff like that? ive read a linux+ book completely through and they sure didnt teach me that.

Thanks again,
