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

    ... the alsa developers have a solution for this issue:

    When you boot you get no sound from your internal laptop speakers though you do get sound from the headphone jack.

    The cause, according to some alsa developers, is an incorrect 'pin' assignment (in the BIOS, perhaps) whereby sound output meant for the internal speakers gets routed to the wrong place.

    If you have an HP dv4, dv5, and perhaps a dv7 model series laptop, you may have this issue.

    The latest alsa-driver snapshot provides a fix for this issue. I'm listening to a Keith Jarrett jazz cd right now through the internal speakers of my HP Pavilion dv4 1225 laptop after downloading, compiling, and installing the latest snapshot. You can get it here:

    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kerne...napshot.tar.gz

    After downloading and gzip/tarring the files, you'll need sudo privileges to:

    Code:
    #> ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors
    #> make
    #> sudo make install-modules
    #> sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
    [add 'options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5' sans quotes to the bottom of the file, even if you have a dv4, etc.]
    #> sudo reboot
    After restart, you should have sound from the laptop speakers.

    If you do not, you should consider the alsa developers your best resource. They have some tools you can use to discover what's happening and since they write the code that goes into the kernel for the sound drivers, they can hopefully fix your problem. Just go to the alsa web site and find the alsa-devel email list and join up.

    NOTE: this does not require a kernel build I post this to the ubuntu forum with the permission of several of the alsa developers I've been working with.

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

    Hello,

    My Laptop is a HP dv4 1129la and I have problems with the sound, I think it's because of my processor 'cause it came with Windows Vista 64-bit And I installed Intrepid 8.10 but I think I installed de 32-bit version. Most of the packages I've installed are for i328, everything works fine except sound.

    In the Log in of Ubuntu I can hear the 'duh bump' but doesn't sound right it repeats every half second of it several times, like a scratch CD after that no sound. RythmBox crashes if I try so open a file, 'cause of an error with the audio, there is no playback device.

    If you can help it would be great, 'cause sound is the only thing left to do in my Ubuntu, if you need more information I can give it to you.

    Thanks a lot

    By the way that link to download DOESN'T work, maybe if I try what you suggest it can be fix, but I can download the fix. Thanks again

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

    jstalnak : You the man. Worked perfectly on the hp dv4z (AMD Turion X2) version.
    Awesome!!!

    So this is fixed in alsa version 1.0.19
    Now to wait for ubuntu to pick this up by default.. till that happens, will we have to recompile the alsa module for every kernel upgrade ? Can this be installed using dkms.

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

    Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu (actually new to Linux, even though I have dabbled with Mandriva a bit in the past), I'm running the AMD-64 version of Ubuntu 8.10, and I have a Pavilion dv4-1275mx. Can someone tell me where to unzip the archive to?

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

    jr2: I put all my downloads in the same dir and go from there. No need to put the archive/unzipped files anywhere special. When you 'sudo make install' that will put the files where they need to be for the system to find/use them.

    Regards
