snd_hda_intel options database

[AzT3K]

I have a HP Pavilion DV7-1002tx running Ubuntu Jaunty.

Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X
Codec: LSI ID 1040
Codec: Nvidia MCP78 HDMI

I can confirm that this fixes my sounds issues.

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

This also works:

options snd-hda-intel model=hp
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

and so does this:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

There is some volume variation between the different models with options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 being by far the loudest. This also one of the recommended codecs in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz for 92HD71B*

Im using alsa 1.0.21

Previously I was using options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig but this died when I upgraded KDE to 4.3 -> updating alsa to 1.0.21 and changing the snd-hda-intel options to the ones above resolved the issue.

Just to add to that, having had to do this again recently I forgot to mention that you need to upgrade to the new alsa drivers first. Instructions here:

Hopefully it will work for you.

Also if you get a sound at the login screen but none after you log in, check if the "Front" volume is too low (needed to be 90 for me to get any sound).

I had alsa 1.20, sound working but not headphone.
I installed alsa-driver snapshot, and now it works fine!!!!! Very good!!!

Thank you very much!

I just upgraded to 9.04 and got no sound. I found the following article:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806620

That article helped greatly. The following settings appear to work:

Laptop: HP HDX9300
Codec: STAC9271D
Module: snd-hda-intel
Jacks:
Rear: Front, Center/Sub, Side, Rear
Front: Mic, Headphone 1, Headphone 2

Working options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=5stack position_fix=0 probe_mask=-1 bdl_pos_adj=-1 enable=yes

Results:
----------------------
Currently, I have 5.1 speakers attached to the Front, Center/Sub and Rear connectors. All work correctly.

=> Laptop speakers work when the checkbox "Line in as Output" is checked.

Unchecking that checkbox leaves me with external speakers which works great when docked.

Headphone jack 1 does not work, but plugging headphones into headphone jack 2 works and mutes other outputs correctly.

HTH: I've found very few references for this laptop configuration running Linux.

One more for the database. We should have a wiki page for this. Or there is one that I'm missing?

...In case there were people who were as stupid as me when reloading ALSA,
after

killall pulseaudio

sudo alsa force-reload

there will be a message box asking you whether to reload or not (in Ubuntu 9.04)..press Reload..before you type

pulseaudio -D

I am using Compaq CQ40, the configurations worked just fine for me..thanks!

Please help, I just can't get any sound at all from my hp dv6-1007tx
I have tried several of the above alsabase mods to no avail, all my info on set up & hardware is here
Also after adding to the alsabase.conf file when I run the command killall pulseaudio nothing happens
The command sudo alsa force-reload gives me

Then when I reboot the machine and run the command sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf again the file no longer shows my edit - even though I have definitely saved it - and I still get no sound at all, from speakers or headphones.

I have also tried to update the alsa with no luck - followed instructions here & here
still my alsa shows as
Driver version: 1.0.18rc3
Library version: 1.0.18
Utilities version: 1.0.18

I now have sound thanks to this post

What you have to do in simple steps:

go to this website:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...a/alsa-driver/

Download the file alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.bz2

Go to your download location, extract it (I did it via the file manager, double click the file and drag 'n drop the folder to where you want, say, Desktop)

Open a terminal (command line)

Go to the location you extracted the alsa-driver folder (if you did it on Desktop, type cd /home/xxx/Desktop/alsa-driver/ where xxx is your user)

Type the commands one after the other ends:
./configure --enable-dynamic-minors
make
sudo make install-modules
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (I replaced vim with gedit because it's easier)

copy and paste this:
options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

save the file and restart your laptop

As I said, just did it (took me about 10-15 min.) and now Metallica is rocking on my system.

Good luck.

Updated alsa successfully & instead of dv5 added dv6


It's quiet, but I have sound so it's a start!

Any ideas how to make it louder?

hey shinjimx .. tx to you, i now have ACDC rocking my sys!



couple things tho .. for some folks, i think jaunty up

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (I replaced vim with gedit because it's easier)

you may need to use "alsa-base.conf", rather than "alsa-base"

copy and paste this:
options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

dunno if it's me or my setup, somehow, but for me it worked with hyphens rather than underscores, so i made that ..

options snd-hda-intel-model=hp-dv5

er, dunno about Metallica, mind call me old-fashioned.

hey karlakoala .. I thought this was overridden by master volume in top panel but just tried and it's not, so try this ..

at terminal type:-

alsamixer

er, guess what, that brings up the mixer!

have a play .. mine's too darn loud now. that's what the missus said anyhow.

Thanks so much for this post!!!

I got sound working on my HP after finding this!

Model: dv6t-1200

On a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty - no sound through speakers or headphone jacks

After upgrading Alsa (compiling driver(s) from source), and adding this line: option snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 to the Alsa config, I have sound now through speakers and headphones! Mic works too, but I never test that until after the fix.

Thanks again!!
