ATTENTION HP dvX laptop owners with speaker sound issues ...

[webs37]

Same problem as above, in my CQ40-401AU use Ubuntu 9.04 with AMD Turion X2 Mobile Processor RM-74 - 2x 2.2 GHz

first download http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...090428.tar.bz2
try the new alsa-driver-*tar.bz2

and use sudo privileges

#> ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors
#> make
#> sudo make install-modules
#> sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

add "options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5" in the end of this

save and sudo reboot

but its only work for internal speakers, thanks for u all and I hope there anyone can do more for the external speaker.

Hello everyone. I have a HP Pavilion 1275mx and doing the following solved it:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

add the following to the end of the file.

# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

Cheers,
dep

This works on my DV5-1150eo. Thank you very much!!!

whoops... sorry.

Hi,

I have Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu on my laptop Compaq CQ45-106AU and I have no sound over my internal speakers though I do get sound over my earphones jack. Since I am very new to linux, I can't get the hang of the commands people have given in this discussion. It would be great if someone could explain me these steps in a simple step-by-step procedure.

Here's my lspci output:

Any help would be welcome..

Thanks in advance!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

I have an HP DV7T.

I compiled the driver snapshot, added the line "options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5" to alsa-base.conf and I had sound upon reboot.

Great thread!

@ashim.dubey
Hi,
I also have the same laptop. I would recommend you to download the alsa driver snapshot I mentioned in my previous post. Then untar it, and open a terminal in the untarred folder. There with super-user permissions(su) enter the following commands in exact order

./configure --enable-dynamic-minors
make
make install-modules

After this, open the file /etc/modprobe.d/asla-base (still as super user) with the command

gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

and add the following line to the end of the file

options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

then save the file and restart your computer. Your sound card should be working fine. However, the internal microphones still do not work, and you shall have to use an external mic. Hope this solves your problem. By the way, my BIOS veersion is F.36. Please ensure that you have the latest BIOS version or update it from the Compaq site. However, you shall have to be in Windows to do this. Do reply on the forum if you find these instructions unclear.

@topcoder

The driver snapshot you suggested http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...090415.tar.bz2 says 404 not found. Should I try the snapshot given in the reply just above yours??

[ashim.dubey]

I checked my BIOS version and it's same as yours F.36. I could not download the driver snapshot you suggested http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...090415.tar.bz2 so I downloaded the snapshot http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...090428.tar.bz2.

But after I untarred the folder on my desktop and after I type the command
sudo ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors, i get the following error:

sudo: ./configure: command not found

What do I do?

[ashim.dubey]

@topcoder

I'm sorry I was configuring from inside the wrong folder. I got my speakers working!! Thanks a lot!! It feels so good that my internal speakers are working on ubuntu!! Thanks again!!

[topcoder]

@ashim.dubey
I realise that. I too tried unsuccessfully many times before I came upon this solution. Just one more thing, you need to do this everytime your linux kernel is upgraded. However, in that case you shall need to download the latest snapshot.
