Public bug reported: Just got my laptop and this problem with with the current Gutsy.
The sound on my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop was not working by default. I had to add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo to /etc/modprobe.d/options and restart the computer. This should work by default. Slightly off-topic: I had unfortunately left the built-in microphone unmuted from trying to get some form of output before I found this solution. So I was greeted with a very very very loud high pitched noise from the feedback. I had to painfully endure this until I could access volume control to mute the microphone. Plugging my headset into the jacks on the laptop didn't turn the speakers off to stop this feedback while I tried to reach volume control. I guess that's also a bug which still isn't fixed for Gutsy. aplay -l: card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861VD Analog [ALC861VD Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Sybdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Sybdevice #0: subdevice #0 [Not currently on my laptop so can't copy & paste large listings] Summary of sudo lshw -class sound: description: Audio Device product: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 module=snd_hda_intel ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Lenovo N200 Laptop sound not working by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
