Try compiling the driver for the sound card http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

hi there, i think i have that “sleep mode” problem somehow.. because when a system thing trys to sound i only get “blip” also i cannot get startup and shutdown sounds. and this is a lil annoying.
i tried your commands, but when i gedit alsa-base.conf, there is no such a line “options snd-hda-intel model=”
so can i add it? or is this a different problem, or is there any way not to get in the sleep mode?? (ubuntu 9.10)

Put these line in the alsa-base.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-hdx
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

and restart. Please let know if your problem isn’t fixed.

So I’m dealing with the same problem, but when I grep to find my soundcard model I don’t seem to get results that look similar to anyone else’s who’s successfully used this fix.

***@***:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: IDT 92HD75B2X5
Codec: LSI ID 1040

Which of the two is the model I ought to use and what am I supposed to do about the spaces when I edit alsa-base.conf?

Thanks for any ideas you might have

thanks, I had a different problem, I was having a enoying sound every minute, like sound turning on and off, your solution worked pretty good, no more enoying sound.
