    ICEBOX - I had exactly the same problem! But I have just fixed it after several hours of pulling my hair out. I had tried everything I could think of, as well as lots of solutions other people had suggested, including installing the latest version if Alsa from source etc. Nothing worked, until I found these four lines on another forum. Simply paste them at the end of /etc/modules.d/alsa-base.conf and save it.


    options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
    options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

    Restart the computer and you should get sound out of the speakers as well as the headphone socket.

    My wireless card works after I used this command.

    sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

    Works like a charm now

    Many thanks Drbongo,
    I had this problem: I got sound only through the headphones, but not through the speakers.
    Don't know if this problem is realted to the installation of thenvidia beta driver version 185.19 for my videocard Nvidia Geforce g103 m.
    After installing that driver I noticed that sound worked only through the headphones.
    Then I followed your instructions and added the four lines to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf", without success.
    Then I followed this link http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/20...tu-jaunty-904/
    and upgraded my alsa version, still without success.
    I pulled many times my hair out and wanted to give up.
    Then I followed yuor instructions a second time, and ....
    incredible...
    it works!!!

    Audio now comes out through the speakers too!
    Now I'm trying to configure dual-head with rotation of the external screen. Any suggestions?

    VERY IMPORTANT!!!

    There is a typo in this solution.

    Code:
    /etc/modules.d/alsa-base.conf
    Thats wrong.
    The correct place is

    Code:
    /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
    So basically upgrading to the latest alsa and adding the above four lines to the correct file will make the speakers work.

    I've had a few rough hours until I found the typo, but many thanks to drbongo for helping us Linux newbies with our problems.

    You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again

    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
    replace gedit with kate if using Kubuntu
