Sound on a Macbook Pro 5,5?

[ringo999]

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

I did exactly as described in #98, only using 2.6.28-15-generic instead.
When i reboot the second time nothing seems to have changed, audio is not mute as well.

And you got it working on the same machine? So what do you think I did wrong?

Hi,

I got it working just now. I realized that I had made a mistake by using the -13 kernel at the aptitude part of the instructions. Now I used the -15 kernel and it is working.

After various kernel updates in the Karmic development line I kept on losing sound.

I tried again with #98 but no luck.

I found, however, this bit that perfectly worked for me with kernel 2.6.31-12 without even restarting!

apt-get build-dep alsa-source
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.21.tar.bz2
tar jxvf alsa-driver-1.0.21.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-1.0.21
./configure
make
make install
alsa force-reload

Good luck!

Thanks for the input, got inspired to upgrade to Karmic. After executing #98 sound works. Also restart works now. Can't tell yet if the other features work well though. Nice to finally have sound back!

Same as Jaunty. Around 5 to 6 hours.

How come? Even if you dont enable laptop-mode, i think it can last 3 hours. Here's my screenshot.

Awesome! Works perfectly!
I tried other solutions on this thread but none worked for my MBP5,3
Thanks a lot rebanador

After running this on 9.10 beta kernel 2.6.31-14 and rebooting, i got sound!. Had to install gnome mixer to unmute speakers.

This is truly magnificent

EDIT:

After todays update i lost sound again
