im having the same problem in my Asus A8JP. sometimes the sound comes on, i can tell because i can hear the fuzz, and the volume of the fuzz changes as i change the volume. however, as soon as i start playing something through rhythmbox or xmms and try and adjust the volune, it mutes itself. sometimes i can get the volume back by changing the volume of the 'headphone' and 'PCM' channel, one after the other, till i hear the fuzz again.
also, i tried to install the fixes but got an 'name or service not known' error hope this helps -- sound inaudible for certain ASUS laptops using AD1986* HDA codec(s) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105582 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
