“add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=gateway-m4″
THIS ALSO WORKS FOR THE MEDION MD96411 !!!

Thank you so much, took me half a year to find the right option!

I’ve also the STAC9200 on a Medion MD96282

with these steps it should work:

1) sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

2) add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=gateway-m4

3) restart

4) enjoy the sound!

I tested it with a fresh install – it didn’t play sound “out of the box” and, like i said before, even your tutorial did’t help…

I’m looking forward to you getting hold of the Medion again

Hi Sebastian,

Unfortunately I don’t have access to that laptop currently as it belonged to a customer. I wouldn’t have thought the audio sub-system wouldn’t have changed that much between Intrepid and Jaunty, but if I get hold of the Medion again and successfully upgrade it, I’ll update this article.

Have you tried a fresh install of Jaunty to see if it picks it up properly automatically (like it’s supposed to)? I’ve found a number of previous workarounds for all sorts of things need to be “undone” when moving to Jaunty such that it may be easier to do a fresh install of Jaunty rather than an upgrade.

Hi,

thanks for the great Tutorial. I seem to have the same Medion-Laptop, since I had the same Problems, getting the Stac9200 to work.
Did you try to Upgrade to 9.04? Your tutorial doesn’t work there for me anymore. Maybe you could post a hint, how to get it to work again.

Greets,

Sebastian

[...] Whilst rebuilding a friend’s Medion laptop, in my attempt to get the Wireless LAN adapter working, I set about trying to use ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers. Unfortunately upon rebooting, the system failed to boot, always locking up when the boot process tried to load the Windows driver. It was so bad that I wasn’t even able to boot to a recovery prompt because it still attempts to load the hardware drivers before dropping you into a root shell. [...]
