    Sound troubles HP Laptop...

    I recently had to re-install Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop (Model: HP dv6226us) now my speakers aren't working. I don't remember having to look up any extra drivers or doing anything special after the first install, they just worked. the odd thing is the "quick launch" touch pad buttons work it unmutes & volumes go up/down just no sound.

    aplay -l | grep card
    Code:
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]

    Have you tried updating the software on the machine, I am just curious.

    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

    Type on the console:
    alsamixer

    Take a look at the configurations you have there and play around with it, or take a screenshot of your alsamixer configurations and post it here for appreciation.

    Aslmixer... I can't put links in my posts yet err! I know that thumbnail is garbage but it shows my sound card and the speakers aren't muted.

    OK!

    1- sudo alsamixer

    2- F3

    Try to make your configurations as this:




    3- F4



    4- Esc

    5- In order to avoid making the same configuration every time, perform this command:

    sudo alsactl store

    exit

    I hope this can help!
