The problem is almost universal. Not every one of us would have gone so wildly off the mark.
I use Compaq Presario with Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03). And so far unsuccessful in getting audio of any kind. I had similar problem with 8.10 too, but overcame it by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base by adding the following lines: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1 I tried the same stunt here by failed. ----- Original Message ---- From: Bob Wya <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 28 April, 2009 4:08:08 AM Subject: [Bug 354398] Re: Acer Aspire 8920G has inaudible audio by default Do you have the option of digital or analogue sound, on an HD Intel (Realtek) ALC889, using ALSA in your sound preferences (SYSTEM-PREFERENCES menu)?? What version of Ubuntu are you using? What kernel? What version of ALSA? I am using 9.04 beta (64-bit) with: pulseaudio 1.09.14 alsa-base 1.0.18 libasound2 1.0.18-1 lib32sound2 1.0.18-1 kernel 2.6.28.11.14 Personally I did very little to my installation of Ubuntu 9.04 beta. Installed a few packages and all updates. Then I added that magic line to the alsa-base.conf file. I presume your sound isn't muted or anything stupid like that?? (NB It appears the controls beside the keyboard can get "out of sync with reality" - the mute symbol is the reverse of the actual sound settings) If you've messed about with system other configuration files to try to get the sound working you may have actually broken it!!

Status in “alsa-driver” source package in Ubuntu: New Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: alsa-base The chipset is in an Acer Aspire 8920G laptop. But please note that this appears to be a generic chipset with a lot of users experiencing the same problems (and possibly the same solution??) This bug applies to Ubuntu 8.04 (final), 8.10 (final) and 9.04 (beta release). In each case all available updates were applied to the Ubuntu OS release. I am currently using ALSA 1.0.18 (fully updated from Jaunty repositories). Output of lspci -v -v is attached. I tried following the Ubuntu audio faqs (e.g. switching to Pulse Audio) to no effect... Basically I cannot switch on the digital optical SPDIF output or get any analogue sound output!! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AS JAUNTY IS STILL BROKEN AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED!! NB I know the "snd-hda-intel" kernel driver module supports the audio device... It still needs a simple work around however and doesn't work out of the box!! Bob Now surf faster and smarter !
