[00:32] <hot_wheelz> Hi guys
[00:34] <jea> hi
[00:35] <hot_wheelz> Hi jea
[00:35] <hot_wheelz> You know that sound issue i reported here?
[00:37] <jea> Yes, I do recall that
[00:37] <jea> I thought you mentioned you got it working?
[00:39] <hot_wheelz> it just decided to work via a patch i think but have since lost it again I don't know what's up with it
[00:40] <hot_wheelz> maybe the driver has issues or something ?
[00:41] <jea> possibly, I am not really sure
[00:42] <jea> a lot of such issues are really dependant on the setup of the computer, etc
[00:42] <jea> so can be hard to track down
[00:43] <hot_wheelz> It's a Dell XPS 1501X
[00:45] <jea> i can't say i am familiar with that computer
[00:45] <jea> it is a bit too hard to keep up with every model available out there :P
[00:46] <hot_wheelz> agreed
[00:49] <hot_wheelz> The only way I know to fix it right now is to reinstall but then it will just happen again 
[00:50] <jea> unless something has been corrupted somehow
[00:50] <hot_wheelz> my  vol is not muted just now sound output
[00:50] <jea> is it definitely not a hardware issue?
[00:50] <jea> most likely it is not, but there is a slight possiblility 
[00:52] <hot_wheelz> how can i file it with an output to help with a fix?
[00:52] <jea> sorry, file what with an output?
[00:52] <hot_wheelz> a bug
[00:53] <jea> oh, right
[00:53] <hot_wheelz> because it works for awhile then dies
[00:53] <jea> Is there an existing bug, or will it be a new one?
[00:54] <jea> I would take a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[00:55] <jea> and this may also help http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/how-to-file-a-bug-in-ubuntu
[00:55] <jea> as good guides to bug reporting
[00:56] <hot_wheelz> jea not that I can see thanks mate
[00:57] <jea> ok. if you have a launchpad account, you should be right to file a bug relatively easily
[00:57] <jea> probably the hardest part (in some cases) is finding the correct place to file the bug under
[00:57] <jea> but I think those guides should help
[01:02] <hot_wheelz> jea i do
[01:24] <hot_wheelz> jea, 
[01:24] <hot_wheelz> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1064621
[01:24] <lubotu2> Launchpad bug 1064621 in linux (Ubuntu Quantal) "Internal speaker muted after a while, several Realtek codecs (Quantal)" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[01:26] <jea> so that is the problem you are having?
[01:34] <hot_wheelz> jea seems so\
[01:34] <hot_wheelz> it's there then it goes
[01:34] <jea> right. maybe trying their workaround, and posting your findings would be a good idea
[01:37] <hot_wheelz> it is suggested running sudo apt-get remove alsa-hda-dkms should be the fix right?
[01:38] <hot_wheelz> when i tried that i got Unable to locate package alsa-hda-dkms
[01:42] <jea> I think you might want to install it first
[01:42] <jea> i suspect it does not come with quantal, but is an extra
[01:44] <jea> The final fix is to install a new kernel version
[01:44] <jea> linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic
[01:44] <jea> linux-image-extra-3.5.0-18-generic
[01:45] <jea> I suspect these are both under -proposed at the moment
[01:45] <jea> so check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
[01:45] <jea> just ensure you do not update the entire system from proposed - follow the guide on that page to only update the kernel
[01:48] <jea> i suspect that you don't need the alsa-hda-dkms package when upgrading the kernel either
[01:49] <hot_wheelz> just do kernel then
[01:50] <jea> yep, i would just do the kernel
[01:50] <jea> make sure you do both the headers and extras packages
[01:56] <hot_wheelz> doing now
[01:57] <jea> ok. be careful!
[07:44] <hot_wheelz> jea, 
[07:54] <hot_wheelz> So kernel update seems to have resolved the issue i'll keep you posed
