Summary:                    No sound on hda-intel on Acer TravelMate 4061NLMi
Description: 
This will be very much like other reports around.

Just bought a new laptop and installed Ubuntu Linux on it, and updated it.
Sound modules load silently, no complainments, alsamixer works and
channels are unmuted, but I get absolutely no sound from speakers of
headphones.

I'm not the only one having this issue
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=450628), however, all the info I
managed to google either didn't help me, or was simply unfinished (like
forum questions that aren't answered).

I tried the stock drivers provided by the Ubuntu kernel, then I tried
1.0.10rc2, and cvs builds i made myself (created them as .debs though). In
all cases the result was the same - absolute silence.

I've exactly the same problem on an Acer Aspire 1641 (laptop) with sound
card Intel (chipset Realtek ALC260). I'm on a Mandriva 2006. I've made a
bugtrack to Mandriva, who gave me the latest developer versions kernels
(2.6.12-15 (containing an hda patch) and 2.6.15), with no result. I've
tried the Realtek drivers for linux (which had totally damaged the audio
config and obliged me to reinstall the system), and the alsa drivers
1.0.10 and 1.0.11rc2. I've still no sound. The dmidecode give me the same
result : Status Disabled.

interestingly though, one user has a dual boot system. For him, sound works
well in Windows, and doesn't work in Linux, with the same status in
dmidecode - disabled. Seems like it's not BIOS, but rather the driver that
has to turn the device on...
