I'm Having Problems With Sound? HP dv4-1124nr

[LinuxLuver29]

Hey all!
I just got my laptop today and the first thing I have done was get rid of Vista and install Ubuntu.

It's working great but the first noticeable thing was that the startup sounds and all the other sounds are stuttering/echoing.

Can anyone please help?
Thank you so much!

This should solve your dv4 sound problems:

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

and add this to the end of the file:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

Hope this works for you

this worked for my dv-1147cl.
thanks

I had a lot of trouble with an HP Pavilion dv4. This fix worked right away! It did require a reboot.

Thanks

This DID NOT work for me. I still need help!

Actually I need help from you guys with HP DV4 computers.

When you type "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"

Can someone print that out here so I can see the out put?

Please and thank you for all your help everyone.
