Okay, I have applied this dotconf patch and rebooted -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- driver/+bug/1236965/comments/13
I notice no changes when I run $ speaker-test -D default -t wav -c 6 This test is utilizing only the onboard speakers, I have not plugged *anything* into any of the 3.5mm jacks. I hear frontLeft/frontRight/Center loudly, rearLeft/rearRight quietly-but-audibly, and LFE-aka-subwoof-methinks not at all. When I look in sound-settings, speakers-built-in entry is gone again (formerly fixed by comment#32 in other bug-thread) After messing around in sound-settings looking for the surround-mode-button, got stuck in spdif-only-mode (which does not use internal speakers at all and thus causes speaker-test to be silent on all six channels). $ ls ~/.pulse/client.conf ls: cannot access /home/j/.pulse/client.conf: No such file or directory $ echo autospawn = no >> ~/.pulse/client.conf $ ps aux | grep -i pulseaudio | grep -v grep j 2750 0.3 0.0 418188 6064 ?

Should I apply david's dotdeb first, or should I try the latest alsa driver raymond suggests first? And, should I unapply the patch from comment#13, tested here? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236965 Title: pulseaudio does not recognize internal speakers [P180HMx, Realtek ALC892, Speaker, Internal] volume slider problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1236965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
