  1. This enabled the speakers for me, but headphones still don’t work. If I remove the “fujitsu” line from the alsa-base modprobe, the headphones work, but only after a suspend, which is how it was before I ran this script.

  2. Sorry. but i don’t know how to run it follow your command.
    i launch the terminal from Aplications – Accessories – Terminal
    and then…
    I download your script into: /media/SETUP/linux in my computer
    and the link of *.sh file is:
    /media/SETUP/linux/y410_20080427.sh

    i don’t know how to run this script follow your introduction.
    I am a newcomer so explain more detail about this. Help me…please.
    i’m using Y410 and like ubuntu so much…
    Thank you for your useful comment

  3. I tried it out on ideapad y510. The sound is working, but there is a problem. The laptop is making a shrill beep which is really unbearable.

    Since I don’t have y510 in hand, it’s impossible for me to troubleshoot your problem.

    If you want to go back to what it was before using my script, you only need to remove the

    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=fujitsu

    line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

  7. Hi

    While running the script, i am getting the below error. Please help me out.

    Please, run the configure script as first…

    if [ -L /include/sound ]; then \
    rm -f /include/sound; \
    ln -sf /home/raj/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.16/include/sound /include/sound; \
    else \
    rm -rf /include/sound; \
    install -d -m 755 -g root -o root /include/sound; \
    for f in include/sound/*.h; do \
    install -m 644 -g root -o root $f /include/sound; \
    done \
    fi
    install: cannot stat `include/sound/*.h’: No such file or directory
    make: *** [install-headers] Error 1

  8. @Raj: Hi, I don’t own a Y410 anymore, so I can’t help you out personally, but you might want to follow those solutions given by above comments.

  9. i am having exactly same problem as Raj

    Please, run the configure script as first…

    if [ -L /include/sound ]; then \
    rm -f /include/sound; \
    ln -sf /home/raj/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.16/include/sound /include/sound; \
    else \
    rm -rf /include/sound; \
    install -d -m 755 -g root -o root /include/sound; \

    Please post the solution Raj if u figured out.

  10. Try to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, it has all the fixes regarding the audio problem. my speaker now works (headphones too). Also, my wireless is now working.

  11. In case your wireless network manager indicates “Wireless Device Unmanaged” just edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and changed the line under [ifupdown] to managed=true. this should fix your wireless connection. i got this from skroops: http://backports.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=940364

    Another thing i’ve observed, the mute button of the y410 doesn’t disable the sound. But an indicator or image will show that the speaker has been disabled but there’s still sound coming out. I guess it’s a bug..

  12. fffs Im an 18 year old kid with only slightly advanced knowledge of computers, so linux = CONFUSING
    Please, I dont get how to solve that issue, im having the exact same one as the last 2
    and I already have 8.10
