ATTENTION HP dvX laptop owners with speaker sound issues ...

[dep01]

Hello everyone. I have a HP Pavilion 1275mx and doing the following solved it:

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

add the following to the end of the file.

# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

Cheers,
dep

Thanks jstalnak. I (finally) got sound working on my Compaq CQ-45 106AU Laptop. The microphone does not work as of now. Is there any fix to this? Surprisingly, I have problems with sound in Vista now. Somehow, the windows audio driver gets corrupt with every system restart!

I tried snd-hda-intel model with hp-dv4 and hp-dv5 to,
but works only headphones, external speakers and microphone don't work.

i must say this was far easier than compiling the driver. thank you dep you saved me much frustration.

For anyone with Intel's onboard (ICH9) such as I've got on a dv4-1117ca, find and follow soundcheck's alsa upgrade script and add the following lines to your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

I'm guessing that the dv5 line should work for most dv4, dv5 and dv7 laptops to fix the connector recognition issues. I can confirm that the headphone outputs on both the laptop and my HP QuickDock work properly, haven't played with the digital outs yet.

[SOLVED] HP Pavilion dv4-1220us no sound, error compiling alsa snapshot. Issues with "include/config1.h.in" and "no makefile."

I'm just a linux newb, and I've been havin' issues for a while with sound on my HP laptop. Finally, I read this thread, compiled the driver, added "options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5," and sound worked. Then, however, after a month, after a new update, sound stopped working. I formatted my partition, so I could not roll back anything even if I knew how to. But I have sound working again, and here's how (I don't know if all these steps are necessary):

First, I went to the synaptic package manager, typed in gcc, right-clicked and "marked for complete removal."

Then I tried some older compilers, and think I settled on this one: http://packages.debian.org/etch/gcc-3.4

The dependencies are listed at the top of the page, the package itself downloadable at the bottom of the page (AMD64). Some of the dependencies have dependencies, too. Be sure to install all the dependencies and their dependencies, in order. Choose to open with gdebi package installer.

Then, I had to go back to synaptic, and add install gcc. Next, I had to go to the update manager and update three 3.4 compiler packages to newer versions. (These last two steps make have been performed in reverse order).

Finally, I used a different snapshot from the same source: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kerne...napshot.tar.gz

I followed the steps from the first post after this point, and everything worked.

Just a pointer to other newbs, I downloaded the file to my desktop, extracted it there, went to places, home folder. I created a folder named compiled. I opened the compiled folder, and created a folder named alsa. I renamed the folder I extracted to my desktop to "alsa-driver." I then dragged it into the alsa folder I created. Then, I deleted the zipped version I downloaded. Then I went to applications, accessories, terminal. Typed in "cd compiled/alsa/alsa-driver." Then you ctrl+C from the first post and ctrl+SHIFT+V into your terminal, one step at a time (don't include the "#>"). Always use SHIFT when copying or pasting inside the terminal.

Good luck.

I figure someone will come by and tell me that much of this was not necessary. Oh well.
