Re: [opensuse] No sound on new HP laptop; touch-switch may be the culprit.

I get no sound using OpenSuse 10.3 on an HP Pavillion DV9825 laptop. The sound works under Vista. There is a touch switch above the keyboard that mutes the sound output. When muted, it turns orange; otherwise it is blue. When SuSe is loading, the switch starts out blue, then turns orange. Touching it thereafter does not change it back to blue. Any suggestions?

Further information:
1. I think the switch turns orange at the same point the following appears in the startup log:

<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2333: autoconfig: line_outs=1 (0x14/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2337: speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2341: hp_outs=1 (0x15/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2349: inputs: mic=0x18, fmic=0x19, line=0x0, fline=0x0, cd=0x0, aux=0x0

2. The sound card is listed as "82801H (ICH8 Family) Audio Controller", snd-card-0, driver snd-hda-intel. Options: position_fix = 0, single_card = 0, model = blank.

Help is appreciated, as I purchased this computer specifically to do an audio project!


Hi,
I have an HP dv2000 laptop, and I couldn't get the microphone jacks and the headphone jacks to work at first. To fix it, what I did was to download the latest Alsa driver from here:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver

1) I right clicked on the downloaded tarball on the desktop and chose 'extract'

2) I opened a terminal and 'cd' to the desktop location of the extracted file
3) In terminal:
./configure --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=hda-intel

make

su
password


make install

4) Restart computer

su in konsole, password

alsaconf

Then, use the alsaconf program to configure the sound card. Then, I opened the mixer (kmixer) from the loudspeaker icon on the bottom right of the display screen to make sure the right inputs and outputs were turned on and the volumes raised.


I'm not a guru but perhaps by doing the same you might be able to get your sound working.
