No sound on Ubuntu 12.04 after upgrading from 11.10



I have recently upgraded my Ubuntu 11.10 distribution to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my HP pavillion dv6 laptop.


This is the output from 'aplay -l' command of my system.

card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


After rebooting I noticed that I had no sound. After trying many things, to resolve this problem I had to add the following two lines to the "alsa-base.conf" file.

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

If this does not work then replace "auto" with the following keywords one at a time. Save the file and restart your computer each time you test with one configuration.

ref                    - Reference board
mic-ref            -Reference board with power management for ports
dell-s14           -Dell laptop
hp                     -HP laptops with (inverted) mute-LED
hp-dv7-4000  -HP dv-7 4000
auto                  - BIOS setup (default)

Reference :- ubuntu 12.04 no sound vostro 3300 i5

  3. Many thanks. After spending way too much effort trying to get my audio to work again, this solved it.
