Public bug reported:
Sound is not working properly on my Fujitsu Siemens Xa 1526 laptop with
Ubuntu 10.04.
I used to be able to set "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig" in
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with Ubuntu 9.04 (and I had quite
acceptable sound, both from internal and extermal speakers), but it no
longer helps. I tried many other models as well, but to no avail.
Sound from built-in speakers now sounds like it's being played through
tweeters (no mid-bass), or it is completely muffled, depending on the
model I set in alsa-base.conf.
Currently I am using "options snd-hda-intel model=fujitsu-xa3530", but
that's not any better than a lot of other models. Other models that dont
emulate tweeters tend to provide louder sound from one channel (cant
remember if it is left or right).
I played a lot with alsamixer, and I figured out that I have to set a
model with a lot of speakers (5+), and then alsamixer can help my built-
in speakers play make-believe-stereo sound. It's actually far from
stereo, because, actually, I have to set mid and subwoofer to high gain
to get left and right mid-bass sound, which is, btw spilling quite
noticeably to the other channel.
So, I would have to say it is far from proper.
Also, microphone is not working at all. When I click the speaker in the
indicator applet, and choose sound preferences, then select input tab,
it shows no input hardware at all. When I use the old 3stack-dig
setting, I cannot get any midbass sound, but I DO have input hardware,
although I didn't test if it actually works. In 9.04 with 3stack-dig,
microphone worked acceptably, both internal and external connected to
the front mic jack.
Since my built-in speakers and microphone didn't work, I didn't even
test the connectors.
Laptop has 3 sound jacks in the front, nothing else, no digital either.
Could someone try to do something about this situation?
Thanks,
Viktor
