Public bug reported: I noticed several days ago that my sound suddenly quick working out of my speakers. My headphone jacks work just fine. In a backwards troubleshooting binge I tore apart my laptop (an HP Pavilion dv7-2273cl) to ensure the speaker connection was still secure. I attempted to install the previous versions of both ALSA and PulseAudio, both of which failed. I used the ubunu-audio-dev/alsa-daily PPA. Finally I got frustrated enough to boot into Windows and the sound worked just fine. Finally, after getting annoyed enough to try troubleshooting again, I found the problem to be the 3.2.0-25 kernel. When booting from 3.2.0-24 (and rebuilding my proprietary ATI graphics driver) my sound works just fine.
I've been running Linux almost exclusively since 2007 and I've never had a problem like this before with any kernel unless it was a self-made or unstable/testing version - a problem where something just quits working after an update just has never happened. Machine: HP Pavilion dv7-2273cl (Laptop) Ubuntu version: 12.04 Precise Pangolin (with Gnome Shell) `lspci` output is attached. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 3.2.0-25 ich9 sound -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017334 Title: Kernel 3.2.0-25 Breaks Sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/1017334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
