sudo dpkg -i *.deb sudo upgrade-grub There was an error about linuxheader 3.8.8-030808 However, HDMI audio worked. update-manager wanted to remove it. When I allowed the "Partial Upgrade" it did remove whatever was offending. I did that and re-booted. No more error from update-manager. hari@hari-PORTEGE-R835:~/Desktop$ uname -a Linux hari-PORTEGE-R835 3.8.8-030808-generic #201304170248 SMP Wed Apr 17 06:58:01 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux HDMI audio is fine. hari@hari-PORTEGE-R835:~/Desktop$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Hope I did the right thing.
