No Sound on speakers hp dv6000

  • 772

I have no sound from my speakers with Ubuntu 12.04.2.(here's where stuff gets weird) I have sound with my headphones but they only work when halfway plugged in. The headphone jack has no problem when booting from my windows xp partition. At least I can get sound at all. I still have no sound from my speakers. any help?

  1. same problem here except sound works when headphones are plugged in all the way.

    already tried this with no luck:

    gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

    Insert this line at the bottom:

    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-3 enable_msi=1

    Save. Close. Reboot. Check your levels in alsamixer.

    alsamixer
    • Press F6 to select the correct soundcard.
    • Press F3 to show playback levels.
    • F4 selects capture levels [or use Tab].
    • Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels.
    • M to mute/unmute.

    Go to "System ->Preferences ->Sound" and make sure the correct soundcard is default and adjust your profile on the hardware tab.

    No joy? Change that previous entry to this and reboot:

    options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 enable_msi=1
