    First thing you need to do is remove anything in your sound folder so we have a clean start, do this by running:

    Code:
    sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound
    Next thing you need to do is restor your original kernel files, to do this run the following command:

    Code:
    sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers-2.6.28-13-generic linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-13-generic
    After that you will be prompted to restart, Restart Now.

    Once back in ubuntu run the folowing commands:

    Code:
    wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
    tar xf alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
    cd alsa-driver-unstable
    sudo ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors  --without-oss --with-cards="hda-intel"
    sudo make
    sudo make install
    Now reboot. Once your system is back up open up your volume control and unmute all the channels and make sure they are turned up.
    Hi, this doesn't work for me. I have a new Macbook pro 5,5 and now that I've done this tutorial I still have no sound:

    Code:
    :~$ lspci | grep audio
    :~$ aplay -l
    aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found...
    :~$ lsmod | grep -i snd
    snd_page_alloc         18960  0 
    :~$ alsamixer
    alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

    When you restarted did you select the 2.6.28-13 kernel?

    I have not been able to make it work at all with 2.6.28-15 - which is the current kernel.

    Hi,

    thanks for the reply! I went straight from the 2.6.28-11 to 2.6.28-15. So I'm using the current kernel. I take it that it is not possible to get sound fixed with that kernel?

    Cheers,
    Eelis

    I've not been able to get it to work with the latest kernel - and for me, even with the recommended kernel, I only get sound from the headphone socket.

    I'm trying the unstable snapshot every so often to see if that helps.

    Just an FYI, I'm using Debian sid, with kernel 2.6.30-2 and it works fine with the unstable alsa snapshot.

    I tried #98 with 2.6.28-15-generic on 64-bit. No luck

    After you follow #98, make sure that the volume sliders are up to maximum.

    I found that they were muted and front speaker slider was at its lowest. Once I restored them to max everything was working.

    #98 are instructions for 2.6.28-13 but I'm running 2.6.28-15. when executing the script i never get to see a front speaker panel... in my volume applet preferences the device selected is HDA Nvidia(Alsa mixer) is selected and the only channels are have are Master, PCM and Capture...

    Those instructions are valid for any kernel, hence the `uname` entries. You did it wrong.
