Audio Doesn't Work, Aspire One Netbook - URN 9.10

Asked by Sblood

Like the summary says, my audio doesn't work.
The device shows working properly, just nothing comes out. To save anyone from asking the obvious, it is not muted and the speakers work, also tried with headphones

I am running UNR 9.10 (am considering downgrading to 9.04 but I can't find a mirror to)

This is an Aspire One D-150

Readin helps uh, d'oh

D150 (1G, 160Gb HDD)

OOTB:

    * Ethernet 10/100
    * Camera
    * Keyboard and functional keys
    *

      WiFi (the switcher was not tested because it's broken on my netbook)
    * Bluetooth and BT button above the keyboard
    * Suspend/hibernate (but not on lid close, see below)
    * Sound and headphones out
    * Card reader

Known issue with know sound out of the box. Do you have the latst BIOS? You may need to compile ALSA based on this guide:

will try that when I get home. Thanks alot. - though it seams you found it, I'll provide the complete model incase you have any more thoughts:

Aspire One D150-1358
this is the model without bluetooth, just one less thing to make work :-)

I'm going to try that fix when I have the chance, I do want to point out however;
the sound worked properly when running jaunty jackalope, I never did test the build in mic which is what that link is mainy referring.

Will post after I have tried that to let you all know if it worked

Thanks again
