HP TX2z -- Audio problems

[proverbs308]

I have tried sifting through all the threads about how to get this to work but has anyone been able to get the audio to work. What I mean by work is be able to play audio files and watch movies. I have tried everything I can think of which is little since I am returning from a long hiatus from linux. Please pass on any advice you may have. I probably am not the only one with problems. Thanks

I am running 9.04

What sound card do you have? Click on the sound indicator at the top and open volume control. In the Device drop-down menu, tell me what appears for (Alsa mixer)

Hi proverbs308,

Basically you use the solution exophobe shows in post #72 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038898&page=8 But since they've changed the name of alsa-base to alsa-base.conf in Jaunty you can directly edit it by typing in a terminal:

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

and add the line:

options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba

to the end of the file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Favux. I did that and also had to change /etc/modules to the following. Then my sound worked fine.

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
