I spoke with Takashi. He was helpful and gave me a kernel patch to try but I either didn't apply it properly or it didn't fix the sound issue.
He suggested I get a copy of the 3.9 or 3.10 kernel source files. Open the sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c file and add this line with the + to the file. ------------- static const struct snd_pci_quirk alc861_fixup_tbl[] = { + SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1253, "ASUS W7J", ALC861_FIXUP_FSC_AMILO_PI1505), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1393, "ASUS A6Rp", ALC861_FIXUP_ASUS_A6RP), SND_PCI_QUIRK_VENDOR(0x1043, "ASUS laptop", ALC861_FIXUP_AMP_VREF_0F), SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1462, 0x7254, "HP DX2200", ALC861_FIXUP_NO_JACK_DETECT), -------------- I made the kernel and booted it from grub but I didn't get any sound. Here's my alsa-info output. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b6351c9d72bc0f731347412e30340ed058cebb1c It's also possible I did it wrong, I've never had to modify/compile a kernel before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178897 Title: No sound on laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1178897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
