I'm in the same boat as you. I've never seen the DSDT workaround actually
work. I've created a new DSDT.dsl file by:
- extracting and reverse engineering the original DSDT.dsl from the
bios
- changing variables that look like _T_0 to T_0
- changing some strings that look like "*PNP0C14" to "PNP0C14"
- and editing the all important "Linux" section to look like the
snippet below (other people have modified their .dsl slightly differently,
but this approach looks the safest to me).
- then I create a new DSDT.aml file (iasl -tc DSDT.dsl)
- I copy the file over to the initial ramfs location (cp
DSDT.aml/etc/initramfs-tools/)
- and create a new ram disk (mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-
2.6.22-13-generic)
The kernel log says it loads the DSDT.aml file when I reboot, but the sound
doesn't work. Apparantly this workaround used to work in Fiesty Fawn. I was
on FF and the workaround didn't work for me. When I tried asking about it
(and created a bug) I was told I had to be on GG to report this bug. I
switched, and found that we're all experiencing this problem. I don't know
when FF stopped working - some people have reported that the fix used to
work. I should also say that I have BIOS 4.0 for the laptop (I upgraded
recently).
So, if you want sound, you can boot your laptop by adding "acpi=off" at the
end of the kernal options in GRUB (just press E to edit on next reboot to
try it temporarily). BUT, when ACPI is off, it can lead to things like your
CPU overheating I am told. I think this can wreck your hardware. My machine
froze after a while.
I'm just waiting (more like praying) for a FIX. PLEASE PLEASE.... I want
SOUND!!
I would even pay money for the fix.
Enough of my rant. (Probably more than you needed to know)
