hi, do this

Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add this line to the bottom of the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Save and close the file. Reboot.

acknowledgement goes to http://liliputer.blogspot.com/2010/04/testing-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx-on-sony.html

Guaranteed fix as long as you have not damaged ubuntu too much with your mods to get sound going.

is this for the desktop edition or netbook editiion

[verysmall]

yes, i tried to add that line to alsa-base.conf, but it is not work for me, i donot know why
and i install pulseaudio(because i cannot get a volume control...) whthout uninstall oss, it is still working, so i think you just install or update oss will be ok.

i am using ubuntu 10.04 for desktop

someone can help my mouse wheel ? the middle mouse button is not work (,everything else is now perfact except this)!

hmm verysmall, thats strange, my ubuntu 10.04 desktopworks a treat with that mod. Mabe do a fresh install of ubuntu and try again? All ux to my knowledge use the same sound hardware so it should work. To test, install XP and install xp sound driver. If sound does not work, then your ux may need a new sound board.

Verysmall, one of my buddies was having the same issue, when I checked what he was doing wrong, he was not putting a space after 'gedit' and before the / . Bigs, that is a great mod from liliputer's webpage. Have you guys done any power management mods for 10.04?

[bigs]

"You need to modify the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file
Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


Add this line to the bottom of the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Save and close the file. Reboot.

If not already installed, install alsamixer.
sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer"

from lilkputer page just in case the page changes one day.


Also for power management on vaio, check out http://vaio-utils.org/

it is frequently updated and has very good and flecible power options for ubuntu on vaios which work on the ux.
