Bob Wya, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Hardy desktop reached EOL on May 12, 2011. Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
We were wondering if this is still an issue on a supported release? If so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a supported release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Tags added: gutsy hardy jaunty needs-upstream-testing ** Description changed: 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 + WORKAROUND: Add: + "options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig probe_mask=1" + + to the end of the file: + + /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ** No longer affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) ** Tags removed: gutsy ** Tags added: intrepid ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354398 Title: Acer Aspire 8920G has inaudible audio by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/354398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
