Recently I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit in my Sony VAIO machine and I figure out that speakers are totally disabled. At first I thought that the volume was to low, but that wasn't the case.

I even update and upgrade, but the problem remains.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Executing the command lspci, I get the following output:

  • Thank Eliah! It's much more better ^^ . And "user" [Your name for this moments (: ], as I saw in the second page, and in the other thread: forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=90526 , updating the kernel solved it. But, I don't know how to guide you. Does anyone can help him updating the kernel? And, "user", I can't tell what the messege you got "Synaptics hardware cannot be queried" means.

  • Well, I see no change or more infirmation, did you used this: forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=82294#p445024 "1e20 is the supposed device id of your sound card. The fact that your seeing it means your pci id lookup table is a bit dated (stable...). Running $ sudo update-pciids should pull the latest pci ids, and your lspci output should be a bit more descriptive.". You may need to update the kernel, Edit your title and ask to update the kernel, or open another Question and post it's link here.

Your lscpi output is a little weird. Run the following in the terminal:

sudo update-pciids

Once it's done, check out this guide. Read and go through the steps 5, 6, and 7. If the problem persists go through the "Manual Installation" section.

  • Sometimes miracles happen!! Well, my ubuntu's 10.04 speakers finally work. I didn't do anything about it. I just open my pc and I surprised to hear ( and finally know ) the sound of log in on ubuntu. Though, it was a matter of time to decide installing 12.04. The environment is much cooler!! Anyway, I appreciate all your effort!!

Go to the volume Icon, and from there to the setting-window ["Audio settings"?]. change there the Device you want to use. you should have a list to choose [click and choose]. It may be called "Port" [I'm using xfce and Have Hebrew [עברית ^^ ], that why I'm not sure how things called (: ].

Did that help? Try to log-out and in.

  • Thank you for answering. The problem though, is that in the Device there is no device to select. Strange.

  • That's right, they do not detected. In addition, I want to mention here that during log in I have a message on the black screen mentioning that "Synaptics hardware cannot be queried".
