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.

Just forget to mention that even AADEBUG reports that ALSA is compiled on
16th Dec actually modules are compiled from latest CVS HEAD. So it is
rather not fixed in 1.0.11-rc1 for this laptop model.

js@acer:~$ ls -al /lib/modules/2.6.14-kanotix-6/kernel/sound/pci/hda/
total 169

Do we need another model for ALC260 routing hardcoded in sources ?
Regards.

I forgot to mention one thing that might be important. That's a part of
"dmidecode" output:
Handle 0x000D
DMI type 10, 6 bytes.
On Board Device Information
Type: Sound
Status: Disabled
Description: ADI

Notice: the Status says "Disabled". And the problem is that there's no
relevant configuration entries in BIOS... However, snd-hda-intel doesn't
complain about missing devices.

Could this be the root cause of sound problems?
