    Asus N53jq, sound not working

    Recently purchased the Asus N53jq. The specs are really nice, but the internal speakers won't work in Ubuntu (even though they work in Windows). I'm a new user, and just want to get out of the shadow of windows, so I would appreciate any help I can get on this matter. The output still works, and the chipset is Intel Hm55 express. Thanks.

    Hi, I've just solved the same problem on mine new N53JQ:

    1. open file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as root

    2. write to the end of the file

    options snd-hda-intel model=auto position_fix=0

    3. save the file

    4. reboot

    Tried that and still no sound through the speakers or HDMI.

    ...when editing with sudo. Literally logging into the terminal as root did the trick. Thanks!

    You can try this (however I can't because I don't have anything that would play sound from HDMI).

    Go to sound preferences (in ubuntu menu -> System -> Preferences -> Sound Preferences) and in card "Output" choose HDA NVidia Digital Stereo (HDMI).
