[Please fold lines appropriately when pointing to ML...] Could you try the latest sound git tree? If it still doesn't work, run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload and attach the generated file. The script is found at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh Note that there is no model value "hp-dv7". The only relevant one is "hp-dv5". thanks, Takashi
