I've been very busy over the last month, so the only thing I've done to test this further is to install LMDE on my Y530 and see if the speakers work properly in it. They don't. If they don't work in...

Good to know where to find that, but I don't need surround sound so much that I'd downgrade the kernel to get it. That's a mainline kernel, so it might actually be a mod to the later kernels (not the...

It is kind of frustrating. I've always had trouble with Linux on this laptop (first the Intel video, then the surround audio, and I still can't put it to sleep or hibernate it). It doesn't seem to be...

Don't bother. Mint 10 has the same issue. I'm running that on my Y530 now and it behaves exactly the same.

I don't have time to try this right now (busy churning out several projects and can't be futzing with my system), but people might try installing the latest mainline kernel instead of the default...

So that's two people with Y510s and working surround sound, so maybe it is more of a Y530 problem.

I can get (low-volume) stereo sound only if I include no custom option in my alsa config file. If...

What model hardware are you running? What system (Gnome? 64-bit?)? If it works for you, that gives me hope that I can make it work for me, too.

The Y510 and Y530 are very similar beasts, so I'm betting on some sort of software issue. When I bring up alsamixer I see all of the channels I ought to and it is identifying my card as it did in...

Rats. So no it still doesn't work after the updates and a reboot. No sound at all if the 6stack-dell option is in alsa-base.conf.

Anyone else tried this, and if so did it work for you?

OK so I'm trying your steps on my Y530 (10.10x64 Gnome). First I tried just adding the 6stack-dell option to alsa-base.conf and rebooting (on the theory that perhaps the kernel update yesterday...

I did a regular upgrade (Lucid x64 -> Maverick x64), and surround sound no longer works for me. First time I've ever done an upgrade, and except for this issue it went really well. I'll be doing a...

That worked for me in 10.04, but sadly it is not working in 10.10 x64 (I get no sound at all when I add this option).

I've been running Lucid on a Y530 with Intel video since the first beta release, and it works much better on this machine than Karmic did. Suspend and hibernate still don't work properly, however....

Cool beans. Glad the new kernel is working for you. I am running the final (non-RC) version of 2.6.32, which is available from the mainline download page I linked to in my post. I think it's fine to...

I thought from your other thread that you could now run alsamixer but you don't have all the options you should have in there.

Do you see your sound card in the volume control applet? You're...

I've got the same rig and I now have surround sound working in 64-bit Karmic. Take a look at my thread on all my Karmic problems, especially post #17. It may also have been important that I'm running...

The latest Release Candidate (2.6.32-rc6) can be found here:

It made my Y530 stop crashing constantly with Karmic.

I should have come back here and corrected my previous post. I had a brief Karmic honeymoon, but after that things went sour. I'm still having pretty serious stability issues, which you can read...

I have a Y530 and I did a clean install of Karmic x64 last night. So far it's a vast improvement over Jaunty. Pulseaudio seems to work properly, the Intel video driver now works well with the new...

I'll try editing the DSDT tomorrow.

What I mean is that the backlight goes momentarily darker every once in a while. It's frequent enough to be annoying. Plus the function brightness keys don't...

This really is an amazingly helpful thread!

I just got a new Y530 and almost everything worked right out of the box with 64-bit Jaunty. I didn't have sound from all of my speakers, but adding...
