Also, laptop native resolution is supposed to be 1280x800, but all I am getting is 1024x768 as the highest option. How would I get the native to be active?
Thanks a lot

install xserver-
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
And follow the prompts - using "i810" as the driver.
I also have the exact same audio card as you.
What version of Ubuntu are you using? I am using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.

Same flavor as the one I am using Fiest 7.04

And thank you for the rez tip, worked like a charm

Thanks Alan Pope, that solved my question.

Still having a sound problem in both gnome and kde
| bqp1167 (fmaldonado) said : | #6 |
Card is an HDA Intel
Chip is Sigmatel STAC92xx
Everything is on annnd unmuted, however the dB gain on the master is 0.00. WHen lowering the volume it goes into negative, is this normal?
I love kubuntu and wanna stick with it, but this sound thing is a make or break deal. Please, don't make me go back to XP

Try adding this line in /etc/modprobe.
options snd-hda-intel model=ref
and reboot.
You can also try with 3stack and 5stack (use 5 if you have an spdif jack).

Hi, I have the very same laptop and the very same problem. Tried everything you have suggested above, both with model=ref and model=3stack.
Also tried everything suggested in this post: https:/
NOTHING helped, no sound. Any other ways to make the driver work? Thanks.

Still nothing. Anyone else have this laptop?

Check this out:

Been there, done that. Compiled my own drivers, and tried every configuration option in the alsa-base file, hence my need to ask if anyone else has my particular laptop, and if so, did they get their sound working on it?
| bqp1167 (fmaldonado) said : | #13 |
Just finally finished slogging through all the alsa bugtrack reports - seems the INtel HDA/Sigmatel 9200 on this particualr laptop has some pretty bizzare/obscure pinouts. Looks like I'll have to wait a few more months till they patch it. Thank you everyone for helping me out. https:/
