I own a F3S laptop myself and found a workaround/solution right here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605990&highlight=82801H&page=2
It comes down to the following: First install the latest version of Alsa (1.0.16 for Hardy Heron) After that, you create a file in /etc/modutils called, for example, 'alsa' with this sequence of aliases and options: alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel # module options should go here options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo # OSS/Free alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss The most important is the line: options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo For a secure success, add the line above in the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base too If it doesn't exixt, create! After you must restart. If you still have no sound, run 'alsamixer' and if necessary unmute all channel and set the volume. -- Asus F3S Laptop Sound not working on install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
