Thanks for your time and all these suggestions. Still no luck though. Seems like you might not be able to have two files ending in alsa-base in the /etc/modprobe.d/ folder. That was the reason for the orange speaker indicator. I had alsa-base and backup-alsa-base, for some reason it was grabbing the settings from the backup. Anyway, with probe only, orange sound indicator, when doing aplay -l I get **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Attached are the requested logs. I tried using the hda-verb command you supplied, the only difference is that upon restarting after setting the command, I noticed the speakers crack, but still no sound. Not really sure what I should be looking for here. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Takashi Iwai" <tiwai@xxxxxxx> To: aeleneski@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 6, 2009 3:11:01 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: No sound for HP Pavilion DV4z At Thu, 5 Feb 2009 23:45:25 +0000 (UTC), aeleneski@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Ok, seems like I have no luck.

Reboot once after setting this model to restore the original BIOS setup. Then run alsa-info.sh --no-upload, and attach the generated file. If you get errors, try to get /proc/asound/card0/codec#* files, at least. Then set model=hp-dv5, reboot and get alsa-info output, too. Also, make sure to use the very latest alsa-driver snapshot, ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz Check the changelogs in alsa-driver*/HEAD and alsa-driver*/alsa-kernel/HEAD files. The problem could be the invalid BIOS pin setup. In that case, you can try to change the pin control manually via hda-verb program, such as, hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x0d SET_PIN_WID 0x40 See Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt in the recent kernel (found in alsa-driver snapshot, too). thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
