I got this to work (Ubuntu 10.04), but I am not sure what I did that made the difference.
I did add a file /etc/modprobe.d/sound which contained options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m22 enable=1 index=0 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel this did not seem to work right away. I also ran sudo alsactl store edited /var/lib/alsa/asound.state sudo alsactl restore but I don't think the change I made was correct (I turned on the NVIDIA device by mistake) -- I think the subsequent reboot was the key step. I wish I could be sure -- it is possible that simply running alsactl fixed something that was missing. In any case, IEC958 starting appearing as one of the profiles in the sound preferences. I also started installing hidpoint, but it would not install because my kernel was too new, so again, I don't think this was it, either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258630 Title: no sound on Dell D430 docking station To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
