I brought a new HP pavilion 6g 2301ek laptop and among the driver problems I encountered (which I couldn't solve) is the IDT hardware enhancement. On Windows, using the generic sound driver, the sound output is the same as in Ubuntu now. Right after installing the IDT driver on windows, it could enable the Dolby hardware enhancement, I couldn't do the same on Ubuntu. Any solutions?
I couldn't find any driver on the net, some people suggested software solutions but i need to use the integrated hardware for this. I'm using ubuntu raring 64bit version.
