Hi Max, Download the 3.1.10 kernel from the Ubuntu website. $ wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1.10-precise/linux-image-3.1.10-030110-generic_3.1.10-030110.201201181135_amd64.deb
Install it. $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.1.10-030110-generic_3.1.10-030110.201201181135_amd64.deb Restart the laptop and tap the [Esc] key during bootup to open the Grub menu, select and boot the 3.1.10 kernel. Once at the desktop test to see if you have audio, if not you may need to add these lines to your alsa-base.conf file. You may need to reboot afterwords. alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=3stack If sound works, update your grub config to boot the 3.1.10 kernel by default. I used the grub-customizer app since it has a GUI. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install grub-customizer Purus -- 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/1178897 Title: No sound on laptop Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 12.10 Asus W7J Laptop Soundcard: Realtek ALC600 I am not getting ANY sound from speakers or headphones. I have tried playing CD's, looking at YouTube videos..no sound. The only sould I ever get is on initial startup when the ASUS logo appears. I have looked at other forums. and looked at alsamixer, there is nothing in the master column apart from 00 and definately NO Auto Mute! Yes I have made sure nothing is muted as well. I have had a look in the BIOS setttings and no luck there either. 00 master (nothing between the "00" and "master" and no column above the "00") The fields I have are below. < Master > PCM CD S/PDIF S/PDIF Default Beep Caller ID Off-hook I have also gone and re-installed Ubuntu..still no luck.
