**nastyguard** · May 8th, 2008

Greetings, oh the great ubuntu forums comunity! Well straight to the point. We bought a laptop for my mom today and it came with Ubuntu 7.10 (I upgraded to 8.04 shortly after that)

OK the problem is, that I installed ubuntu like I always do. And there are problems with the sound. There was no sound when we installed 7.10, and the same was when we upgraded to 8.04 via update manager. I hope people reply soon because my mom will be home soon and we want the little surprise to work out fine and with the sound so please reply ASAP.

Best regards, Nasty.

hi Nasty, I didn't have sound either but now I do (with ubuntu 8.04 like your mom). One of the forums recommended pasting the code from http://www.w1ldt4ng3nt.net/blog/item/77 . This did the trick for me. good luck

Hi,

you may want to try the following out:
open a terminal
sudo su
edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add at the end of file:
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
save & exit
done!
Oh you should turn the mic of otherwise it'll kill your ears

It worked for me.

Best,
Tech

I did that work around too.. or a similar one found in the forums. The problem is; My sound is working fine but when I plug in the Headphones the speakers won't go out! I tried the switching thing in the Volume Controller but to no avail.

Help!

Here is what I added to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1 model=lenovo

Does that single_cmd=1 thing makes a difference ? :S
