I use a laptop HP 6730B with intel sound chipset 82801I. Afer installation
I had no sound, neither in 11.0 nor in 11.1 RC1. In 11.1 I could overcome the problem via the menu "Yast ==> hardware ==> sound" by setting the 'model' option to "laptop" (accord. to a tip in http://www.linlap.com/wiki/HP-Compaq+6730B, where was proposed to add/change in /etc/modprobe.conf the line “options snd-hda-intel model=laptop”; the SUSE equivalent should be the file
/etc/modprobe.d/sound, but in 11.0 this didn't help.)

This is the content of /etc/modprobe.d/sound after my above change via yast.

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
# u1Nb.5BNmHXMrXg9:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

Could you run /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated file?

Thanks. I fixed now on both ALSA git tree and SUSE kernel tree.
The next update-kernel should work without model option.

Created attachment 259129
output of "alsa-info.sh --no-upload" for the yast default settings

Because my sent alsa-info.sh output looks correct after my yast settings,
I reset (to verify the bug) in "yast ==> hardware ==> sound" the default settings,
and run alsa-info.sh again. The term "model=laptop" is now missing.
Also in /etc/modprobe.d/sound, which looks now so:

  options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
  # u1Nb.5BNmHXMrXg9:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
  alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

And the sound is gone.

Wow, that's fast! Thanks, and my last post was too slow. :-)

NB: Even with this quirk, there are still issues with this model laptop and sound in Jaunty.

The PCM mixer channel in initialised at zero volume, and muted. Unfortunately, no pulseaudio tools on the desktop can change this. I've had to use "alsamixer -c 0" and set it each time I boot.
