I looked at the manual and I don't think your BIOS has an option to disable/enable the codec. I'm running out of ideas (other than resetting the BIOS and /or updating it). I guess you could also try booting with acpi=noieq parameter.
Hopefully, a dev will have some clearer ideas.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/920603 Title: HP pavilion dv6500 sound card not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/920603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
