** Description changed: The Sony Vaio SZ6 series use snd_hda_intel, which is generally good and supported by alsa >= 1.0.15, but the Ubuntu installer does not properly detect hardware and configure the driver. The well-known fix to this bug is to install the newest available alsa and add to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base these 3 lines: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-hda-intel model=vaio + + Then restart ALSA: + + ]$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart This enables the headphone jack, speaker muting on headphone insertion, the internal microphone (and I think the mic jack, though I haven't tested it), which otherwise don't work. A bit of a pain when your Mum is nagging you to Skype her. I thought that alsaconf from alsa-utils >= 1.0.15 helped with this configuration problem, but it doesn't with alsa-utils-1.0.16. Just adding the above 3 lines does it. I'm pretty sure this affects a broad range of newer Vaios. Clearly, sound should work properly out of the box - which it almost does.
