Hi, since the update on the 23rd, my sound has broken. I now only have "dummy output" listed in the sound settings dialog.
The DKMS process used to install several modules, but as of the update on 23rd December it only installs 2 as follows: snd-hda-codec: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/3.8.0-34-generic/updates/dkms/ snd-hda-intel.ko: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/3.8.0-34-generic/updates/dkms/ ---- I have a lot of errors in dmesg, relating to hda-audio which I will post shortly. -- 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/1242891 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] Playback problem & LED problem Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Possibly important: using raring 13.04. issue seen on hp DV6 7000 series laptop which had beats audio (4 channels i think. it has a subwoofer. info from hp is very unclear). I am using the alsa daily package: oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms which builds a new snd-hda-intel kernel module every so often. ---- with the snd-hda-intel kernel module provided by the normal raring ubuntu repo, the mute/sound led works correctly, but the channels that the hardware has are not correctly detected, and headphones do not work/mute speakers. My laptop has multiple speaker channels, and sub/LFE. With the normal raring kernel module, there is no way to use all channels even with hda-jack-retask, and sadly sound only comes from the weakest of the 4 channels so is very disappointing. I have the alsa daily package ppa of oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms set in my software sources, so I whenever they release a new build I install it automatically. With the package from this PPA there are more channels seen in alsamixer, although i still need to use hda-jack- retask to get sound from them all. Crucially, the headphones jack works with the module built from this PPA, and automutes the speakers when headphones are plugged in. I raise this bug because non-technical users would not have been able to get acceptable sound from this laptop using ubuntu, which is an undesirable situation. however, the led now always indicates red for "muted" when it should be white for "unmuted". pressing the mute button toggles the mute function correctly in pulse/gnome, but the LED always indicates muted. Essentially, the snd-hda-intel module from this PPA is usable with a technical modification, but the led indicator does not function correctly, although it did before. please let me know if more information is needed, or if you need my to perform any tests. kind regards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-32.47-generic 3.8.13.10 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-32-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: luke 2367 F.... pulseaudio Date: Mon Oct 21 21:31:28 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-01 (20 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: alsa-driver Symptom: audio Symptom_AlsaPlaybackTest: ALSA playback test through plughw:PCH successful Symptom_Card: Built-in Audio - HDA Intel PCH Symptom_PulsePlaybackTest: PulseAudio playback test successful Symptom_Type: Only some of outputs are working Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, playback] Playback problem UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/22/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.27 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 181B dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 52.24 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Chassis Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.27:bd04/22/2013:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPENVYdv6NotebookPC:pvr088A120000305910000620100:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn181B:rvr52.24:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: HP ENVY dv6 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: 088A120000305910000620100 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1242891/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
