I own a 8920g originally running ubuntu 8.04 and now upgraded to 9.04 however I've still encountered the "no sound bug" While searching for ways to sort this out I found that many recommended your blog nevertheless I am relatively new to ubuntu and haven't been able to decipher your instructions. I was hoping you could post a more simple step-by-step guide if posible. Thanks in advance. I too have the same problem as Luc.

I'm not sure if that situation was caused by something that I did or maybe by Ubuntu upgrades. I have applied steps from the tutorial where one have to upgrade alsa and do something to hda-verb. By doing so, I finally could hear 2 speakers. But If I wanted to use headphones I could still hear these speakers at the same time. So I applied this (found this on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NC10 as I had the same issue on my Samsung NC10 netbook): First I made sure I had build-essential package: sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev gettext xmlto xmltoman linux-headers-`uname -r` and then I went to my Downloads folder: cd Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.18a ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes make sudo make install Now I can listen to Rythmbox and watch Youtube videos at the same time. But still I cannot use Skype while using them. I would appreciate confirmation from someone with greater understanding and experience whether this had anything to do with ability to mute speakers while using headphones.

It also did work to set the model to "auto" and do not use hda-verb, that was my original solution, I tried your approach just to check if I get output from all speakers. Unfortunately both variants only enable front left and front right, the rest remains silent. I saw some other posts asking about 5.1 surround - so, any solutions so far, guys?

Just one last question (atleast for now) - I think your 8920 G has the bluetooth voip phone thing. If not, ignore this. If you do (as the 8930G does) then my obvious question is: Did you manage to get that working instead of the USB headset. Just trying to use the Acer provided gadgets to the max :-) Thanks for the prompt response, Jansaell.

This is my first time to linux ever so I am a copy/paste person. After lots of googling I came to your blog and now, my sound is working. That was the only problem, most other things worked out of the box. Thanks a ton!!! This was a few weeks back, I still have the following problem and wonder if you have managed to fix it since: 1. Mic does not work - while this was a lower priority than sound playing. I travel quite a bit and hate to boot into Windows just to be able to chat. Let me know if you have figured that out, or point me in the right direction. If that is fixed the only thing left would be the finger print thing, which I don't care about. Thanks, G Hi jansaell,

It works perfect with Ubuntu Intrepid in Acer Aspire 8920! The only problem is that i have to kill esd every time I reboot the system,not big deal... The big problem is that it can not be played two sound sources at the same time. If you open Firefox and play a video, pauses the video and then you try to play music in Totem it will not work until you close youtube for example. I guess the solution is to use Pulse audio, but there is no way I can make it work...any ideas??? Thanks for the great help! Juan Hey!!

I was wondering if you have got the woofer to work? The sound is only playing on two of the speakers, and the woofer seems silent. I can't find any setting in the preferences to activate this (like on my 5.1 desktopsetup, there is separate channels for front speaker, side speakers, surrround speakers and sub woofer) Not that it's the most important thing, but the woofer upgrades the sound quality from earpieces to mid range desktop speakers.

Rob, I had the same issue, and I fixed it the same way. The problem was the "0×15" where the x is a special symbol when you just copy&paste. It has to be a real normal "x"! Are there any news about sound on acer 6920/8920? schlady Thanks for this tutorial Jansaell!

The output when I run "/usr/local/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE 2" is "nid = 0x15, verb = 0x70c, param = 0x2 value = 0x0", as it should be, and this causes the sound to work. However, the output when rc.local runs (either automatically or manually) has the 15 replaced by a 0. This seems really odd, as the code to be run is exactly the same! Any ideas?

Well first the file rc.local should not be run directly as this is run by the system at boot up time. The permissions i have on my files is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 372 2008-07-28 13:40 /etc/rc.local Thats means chmod 755 /etc/rc.local if they are not the same. That should work. Hi there rob!

But I do have one problem. Running the command "sudo ./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE 2" gives me sound until shutdown, but putting the line in the rc.local (with the full path) doesn't seem to work. Running rc.local without sudo gives the message "open: permission denied", but with sudo it works. I have chmodded it to allow it to be executable, and the entire contents of the file (apart from the comments at the top" are the line "/usr/local/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE 2" and then exit 0.

Im actually using kubuntu so it might be something different there but i dont think so. With the new info on the page about installing the ALSO 1.0-.17 from source you should be able to install that and not the prepackaed pacakages. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820959 Hi Tony

I am also struggling with sound on the 8920 with Ubuntu (Gnome) Have tried a few of your tips, but no luck maybe Upgrade to ALSA 1.0.17 is important after all. My question: define "ALSA"? There are 8 packages. Which do I need? If I get the installation wrong there will be inconsistencies and nothing will work anyway right? Is it just to download, unzip and "make install" in all packages? Or does it involve any Guru magic? Hi.
