I don't see how that helps. I already tried the latest ALSA Daily PPA and such. That patch doesn't really note anything about actual firmware bug fixes too. Nor do I know how to manually compile/install ALSA.
** Description changed: [WORKAROUND] Run the following command: echo "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf + [EDIT] + Workaround doesn't work anymore for me at least. I assume it only has a small possibility of working due to a firmware bug. [ORIGINAL REPORT] No sound, no jacks; It is detected by Linux however.
