18 Not sure if it will apply to you, but I have an HP hdx9300. It uses
19 the hda-intel as well. The in kernel sound was broken after 2.6.27, and
20 only fixed as of 2.6.32.

22 You may also want to check
23 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto It gives a
24 simplified overview. The alsa site also has a lot of information. My
25 advice is try 2.6.32 with all the hda codecs emerged and go from there.
