Martin & HAL peeps
This bug is getting no love , so I wonder if it's pointed at the right
packages? I'm not sure what the process is for sound hardware detection
and configuration, so have pointed it at HAL just in case (sorry if it's
spam in your hands...).
** Also affects: hal
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
- The Sony Vaio SZ6 series use snd_hda_intel, which is generally good and
- supported by alsa >= 1.0.15, but the Ubuntu installer does not properly
- detect hardware and configure the driver. The well-known fix to this
- bug is to install the newest available alsa and add to the end of
- /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base these 3 lines:
+ Recent Sony Vaios use snd_hda_intel for audio, which is generally good
+ and supported by alsa >= 1.0.15, but the Ubuntu installer does not
+ properly detect hardware and configure the driver. The well-known fix
+ to this bug is to install the newest available alsa and add to the end
+ of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base these 3 lines:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel model=vaio
Then restart ALSA:
]$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
This enables the headphone jack, speaker muting on headphone insertion,
the internal microphone (and I think the mic jack, though I haven't
tested it), which otherwise don't work. A bit of a pain when your Mum
is nagging you to Skype her.
I thought that alsaconf from alsa-utils >= 1.0.15 helped with this
configuration problem, but it doesn't with alsa-utils-1.0.16. Just
adding the above 3 lines does it.
- I'm pretty sure this affects a broad range of newer Vaios.
+ As a summary of this bug, people with different models of Vaio have required
different lines in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.
+ If you find that something works for your notebook, please list it here:
- Clearly, sound should work properly out of the box - which it almost
- does.
+ For VGN-: NR11Z, N31M
+ Use: options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd
+
+ For VGN-: SZ650N, SZ61, FZ11S
+ Use: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
+ options snd-card-0 index=0
+ options snd-hda-intel model=vaio
+
+ For VGN-: FZ140E, FE41E
+ Use: unknown
