Hello everyone. Long time stalker, first time poster.
Firstly, big thanks to
jstalnak for putting in the initial footwork on this issue. Following his instructions, I ran into the same errors outlined earlier by
Binary Bandit, and since he never actually describes what the "patch" is or where to find it, I did a little searching on my own and ended up with the following solution:
- Open the terminal and run the following command (this will fix the "patch" issue described by Binary Bandit):
Code:
#> sudo apt-get install build-essential
- Locate the latest alsa snapshot HERE (file should end with *.tar.gz);
- Download the archive;
- Right-click the archive and select "Extract Here" (this will create a folder named "alsa-driver" or "alsa-driver-unstable" depending on the version you downloaded)...
- Right-click this folder and select "Open in Terminal" (if you don't see this option, install "nautilus-open-terminal" from the Synaptic Package Manager)...
- In the terminal, simply follow the commands outlined by jstalnak (replacing "vim" with "gedit" as highlighted):
Code:
#> ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors
#> make
#> sudo make install-modules
#> sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[add 'options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5' sans quotes to the bottom of the file, even if you have a dv4, etc.]
#> sudo reboot
Sound is now working 100% on my dv5-1235dx using the
17-May-2009 unstable snapshot, internal mic included. I tried
dep01's solution, but had to crank the volume to hear anything, and was still missing system sounds. I appreciate his help, but this didn't seem to actually fix the problem, and it only takes a couple minutes longer to perform a proper driver install.
Thanks again everyone. Hope this helps...
