The fact that you actually can get sound out of it if you're using a model parser means it should be doable to get it to work.
It could be that the BIOS exposes the wrong pin configuration, if so, you could try hda-jack-retask: install the hda-jack-retask package from my ppa - https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive/hda When you have started the program, check the box "show unconnected pins". Then try to turn off the internal speaker on pin 0x14 and turn it on another pin. Try all unconnected pins and see if they make a difference. That's my best guess at the moment, but I'm far from certain it will actually help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960124 Title: [VPCZ13C5E, Realtek ALC889, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/960124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
