** Description changed: Recent Sony Vaios use snd_hda_intel for audio, which is generally good and supported by alsa >= 1.0.15, but the Ubuntu installer does not properly detect hardware and configure the driver. The well-known fix to this bug is to install the newest available alsa and add to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base these 3 lines: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-hda-intel model=vaio Then restart ALSA: ]$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart This enables the headphone jack, speaker muting on headphone insertion, the internal microphone (and I think the mic jack, though I haven't - tested it), which otherwise don't work.
