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.

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...

AFAIK all features of the Realtek driver were merged into the ALSA driver
recently so there should be no difference.

If Realtek's own driver does not work maybe you can report the problem to
them.
