Alienware M15x and Ubuntu

Just received my Alienware M15x and install Ubuntu 8.04 on it.
No problem except for the sound.
Need to add the line
options snd-hda-intel model=mbp3
in file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

Another little issue if you’re using AMsn and you don’t have sounds when you receive a message or when someone connect:
Go to Accound / Preferences / Others and replace
play $sound
with
aplay $sound

to use alsa sound server instead default library.

  1. Like many m15x owners come to this site… I leave a hint.

    On my laptop using

    options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dell

    works Good for audio output… with auto-sensing working great.

    I’ve not tested audio input yet.

  2. Hi!
    Many thanks for your hint!

    With the last ubuntu (9.04) it seems the default configuration working great.
