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

[zhylas]

Thanks a lot for this jstalnak! Now my HP Pavilion DV6-2070 works again. Wonderful

[myromance123]

The following steps will enable sound on the internal speakers for the HP dv4-1225dx

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

Add the following lines:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1

perform sudo reboot after saving your changes


Thank you, NaplesBill, for your posting on this fix!

I want to thank you very much crazyMochi, that solution worked wonders.
PS: when typing 'sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' I got a blank text editor. Nonetheless I pasted the following commands provided by crazyMochi and saved. Then performed the sudo reboot. It all works now

You saved me seriously.

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

This worked like a charm. I have a dv6 dx1245 and I wasn't getting any sound when I put through a new install. After researching different methods and coming up with nothing but failure. After applying this fix and rebooting, everything works just fine. Thanks for posting this, saves time and is way easier.
