Ahem, this bug does reflect one real problem on one specific family of devices.

The snd-hda-intel driver does not correctly detect/configure the jacks on HP Elitebook 2530p/6930p (and probably 8530p, and apparently some other similar HP models). With the stock settings, you will get sound from headphones but never the internal speaksers. You need to load the snd-hda-intel driver with "model=mobile"; then it works.

(Apparently this is fixed in alsa from 2.6.30: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/110148.html. But that doesn't help with Intrepid or Jaunty, unless you backport the fix, or specifically configure snd-hda-intel.)

IMHO this specific problem is addressable by this bug report, and if other people have *other* problems they should file new bugs, but I don't see the point in closing this one as invalid only to refile the same issue this one originally tracked.
