Sound doesn't work in HP Pavillion dv5-1210 (and yes, it's unmuted :D)

acmps · 2009-09-01 10:46:26

Hi! Yesterday I installed Arch on my HP Pavillion dv5-1210 laptop. Everything worked out-of-the-box. I installed LXDE, openbox, firefox, gpicview, etc... But now I have no sound! I've tried a million tutorials on the Arch forums but nothing works (yes, my user has the audio group). Can someone help me?

did you check dmesg for errors?

acmps · 2009-09-01 11:03:54

Could this be an error?

isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
isapnp: No Plug & Play device found

And this is what I found regarding my sound card

Try to delete model=hp-dv5 and reboot, it could be better let it autodetect your model.

Do you get sound through the earphone socket? If so there may be a "speaker mute" button. On my HP 6735S the mute is FN F9 - i.e. hold down the FN (function) key and tap F9.

Although FN F11 shows up in xev as "XF86AudioLowerVolume" for instance, FN F9 doesn't generate an x event so maybe it works on a BIOS level or something?

But in my ubuntu installation this works automagiclly. I'll try to remove and reboot.

I can't get any sound through the earphones.

Also, FN+9 doesn't do anything. And in xev FN9 shows up as XF86AudioPlay.

I will try baghera's solution, to remove the model and see if it works...

I've just tried that and rebooted. It doesn't work. I also installed pulseaudio to see if it would make any difference, but no.

YES! I've did it! Seems that the PCM channel in alsamixer was muted...

Sorry! Solved.
