Hi,
I cannot get sound to work on my new Sony Vaio laptop. It says I am using the snd-hda-intel driver and alsamixer works fine to setup the volume levels, but no sound works when trying to watch videos or playing a wav file.
I am using Archlinux x86_64
uname -r produces 2.6.32-ARCH
The output of lspci -vv | grep Audio is:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)
The ouput of aplay -l is:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The contents of /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
Does anyone have any suggestion of what I can try to get my sound to work?
Thanks in advance

Start playing music. plug in your headphones and unplug them. Got sound?

When I had a vaio, I used:
options snd-hda-intel model=vaio
Offline
I tried the headphone trick and that didn't work. I also tried the model=vaio option and this did not work either. For the ALC269 chip the only models that work are basic, quanta, asus_amic, asus_dmic, fujitsu, lifebook, and auto. I have tried all of them and I still do not have sound.
I have noticed a faint sound through my headphones so I believe the drivers are working. It also seems like the volume is turned down but it is not.
I read on other posts to use a tool called hda analyzer. I used the tool and changed one option on pin 0x19 VREF to HIZ and now my sound works. The only problem is I have to run the tool every time I reboot to get my sound to work. If anybody has any ideas on how to make this change permanent, please let me know.

I had the same problem with my VPC-EB1M1R and hda analyzer really enabled the sound to the first reboot. Now the problem is fixed in alsa 1.0.23 release.

I have a VAIO VPC-EB1E1E with the same chipset (ALC269).
With alsa 1.0.22, I could get sound through the headphones (but not through the laptop speakers) if I used model=generic.
This is from alsa 1.0.23 changelog (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … 22_v1.0.23) :
- ALSA: hda - Add fix-up for Sony VAIO with ALC269
Sony VAIO models with ALC269 need to initialize the pin 0x19 to VREF
ground or Hi-Z to make the headphone working. Other than that, model=auto
works fine, so let's use model=auto with a specific fix-up table.
I compiled and installed alsa 1.0.23, but it didn't change anything.
This is my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf :
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
and /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf :
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
"model=auto" doesn't give any sound, except if I use HDA Analyzer to change the pin 0x19 to VREF ground or Hi-Z, then I can get sound through speakers, and I can use headphones as well. But I need to do that each time I boot...
Or I can use the same trick that I was using with 1.0.22, using "model=generic" to get sound through the headphones.
Have you done anything special after installing alsa 1.0.23 ?
