Configuring Acer 6920 Hardware

[pm608]

So, I got my sound working () but the mic is still dead... Any solutions for that?

[CraigBray]

I have the ALC889 sound driver, but as i posted here in this thread.
As you can see rev04. if any of you have this very same revision, please pm me or something to tell me anything you did, or what thread/tutorial helped you. Vista x64 pisses me off so much lol.

I seem to have found a sensible fix. You need to bail on Alsa, and instal OSS4. Here is the guide.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound

This seems to have worked. Is it just me? or does the keyboard have a weird lag as well?

Does it work any better in 9.04?

[CraigBray]

I wish i could say, i haven't had time to get 9.04 installed, but i would imagine that OSS4 should work. I have read it works in Intrepid too.

i tried 9.04 since alpha 2 but sound doesnt work out of box.
not jet tried any alsaupdate nor oss

[wicky_ts]

is things work better with 9.04 than the 8.04.

[Changturkey]

Gonna try Kubuntu 9.04. If things don't work out, I am gonna try Mandriva.

I just did Clay's script in Jaunty and now have 100% sound for the first time! Thanks Clay554!

In ubuntu 9.04 its a simple as just running this in your terminal:

sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

then just do a restart and tada =]

this code is part of the install script i made, tho its the only thing you need to get sound working, just tells the bios configuration to automatically search for the sound device rather than specifying a model
