I installed the DKMS alsa driver and rebooted, with no luck. I then examined the file /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf and found that it does not have the changes shown in the git commit referenced above. I altered the file by applying the commit myself manually, and rebooted again.
This time my sound settings showed only an analog device. Two output devices were missing: "HDMI / Displayport" and "Digital Output (S/PDIF)". My conclusions: the alsa packages currently in Ubuntu 13.04 (alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu4, alsa-utils 1.0.25-4ubuntu2) lack the git commits that Raymond linked to. The DKMS alsa package linked by Raymond does not bring those commits in either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153276 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, playback] Playback problem Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am running ubuntu 13.04 on a dell desktop studio 540. for some reason there is no Digital sound, when I got to playback a song I have to swithc to analog to get any sound . and the sound I get it scratchy and a bit distorted.
