I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop and I get no sound from it. In Sound settings I have only an HDMI option. Here is the output of play -l:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: Generic Analog [Generic Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: Generic Digital [Generic Digital]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 7: Generic Digital [Generic Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[2]+  Done                    paprefs

Also this is:

$ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
Codec: Conexant Generic
Codec: Silicon Image Generic
Codec: SigmaTel Generic

Ι also used this command with no result:

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

I tried removing/reinstalling the ALSA packages. After that, my headphones are working, only the speakers of the laptop do not work.

Please help me, as this is the 4th time I try to install Ubuntu with the same result.

Your speakers may be detected as unplugged which causes them to be ignored.

Temporary fix:

  1. Install pavucontrol:

    sudo apt install pavucontrol

  2. Run:

    pavucontrol

  3. Configuration tab → Profile → Analogue Stereo Output (unplugged) (unavailable)

With the above, the speakers should work, but it will reset when headphones are unplugged or system rebooted.

Permanent fix:

  1. Install alsa-tools-gui:

    sudo apt install alsa-tools-gui

  2. Run:

    hdajackretask

  3. Parser hints → jack_detect = no

  4. Apply now.

  5. Install boot override.
