Thanks guys the first one worked like a charm :)

Bye!

This solution also worked for me in 9.04, on an HP Compaq 6530b. Thanks!

Mark, thanks for the solution. Worked for me on HP Mini 1000 running 9.04 UNR. Though I had to add the option to /etc/modprode.d/alsa-base.conf vice /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base since /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base did not exist on my netbook, and for that matter neither did /etc/modprobe.d/options, but I created the file with the one-line option anyway.

Bottom line: sound is coming out of my speakers. Thanks much.

Hi, I followed the instrustions to get sound working, but I am having some issues.

I have sound, but no sound icon in the taskbar. I have to use the terminal to get to volume control.

I have to unmute everything every time I restart my computer (as well as mute the pc speaker every time I restart).

And finally, if I plug in a microphone, sound no longer comes out of my speakers.

Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi Kevindubrow,

Please create a new thread for your issue.

Thanks,

Worked for me on HP Mini 1035NR

Did a fresh boot.
got the package from www.linuxant.com as stated above
The install process took about 10 minutes no less. I started to think that it froze. Eventually the installed was finished

I did have alsa-base.conf but did not have options file
created empty options file added one line as stated above.

Rebooted

Sound was back and so was the smile on my "punim" :)

This is how my problem started. Upgraded from 8 to 9 and sound was working fine. Then started listening to music through headphones. Eventually at one point sound was only coming from headphones. No sound from built-in speakers. Googled a lot until tried this resolution which worked.

Mark this worked perfectly on my HP 1035NR netbook. I was getting ready to give up on ubuntu and you saved me! Thank you!

Works also perfectly on Compaq 615 (AMD).

After restart my speaker and pcm always was muted but I found out that the old alsactl ( version 18) still was present in /sbin - after renaming it the notebook now starts up with sound and am very glad to have a completely full working ubuntu on my new iron ;-)

I have Hp Compaq 615 too but It isn't working. I've tried 3 times already. What can I do else?

I missed to say that I updated to version

alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.20.3

Have a look here:

http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/downloads-ubuntu-x86_64.php

And

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

should be

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf

After updating run

"sudo which alsactl" to see if there is more than one executable in your paths and remove the wrong one.
More than one alsactl (the older one) caused my soundsettings to be muted on every system start.

Thank you it worked fine.

This worked perfectly with my HP Mini with Ubuntu 9.x installed. Thanks

HP Pavilion dv5 1135la, Ubuntu 9.04 here.
I installed alsa-driver-linuxant 1.0.18 and now when ubuntu starts, takes A LONG TIME "building modules for the 2.6.28-16-generic kernel, please wait"
