After a lot of trials I have somewhat solved the sound problem although not perfect.
This is exactly what I did so far. I made a full installation (dual booting with windows 7) with dedicated ext4, swap partitions. No sound yet. I removed alsa using synaptic package manager. I added keramic backport to the sources & updated. I installed 'linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-17-generic' using synaptic package manager. Restated the system & after some tweaking in the sound settings I got sound ! Mike is working fine too. There are still issues with the sound like the laptop speaksers remain on when I connect the headphones. I'm managing right now using the gnome alsa mixer to manually reduce the laptop speaker sound while using headphones. I hope this bug will get fixed for the next release of Ubuntu. As of now, I'm able to use my new laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 Regards Leander -- No sound in HP Pavilion dv6z laptop with ubuntu 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
