Paul, did this issue not occur in a release prior to Raring without any
WORKAROUNDs (ex. Precise 12.04.0 with kernel 3.2.x)?

As well, could you please test the latest mainline kernel 3.18-rc4 and
advise to the results?

Title:
  Built in speakers do not work on iMac 14,2

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Xubuntu 14.04 on iMac 14,2 no sound from internal speakers. Loud and clear using OSX 10.9.4. Also tried installing Lubuntu (no sound at all) Linux Mint 16 & 17 and Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10 (same problem as Xubuntu).
  Have all PulseAudio utils installed, all devices are listed but only analogue volume meter shows outputs when playing but as above nothing from speakers.
  AlsaMixer shows S/PDIF (highlighted), SPDIF 1 & S/PDIF 2 not MM, set at 00 but cannot be adjusted.

  To get the headphones to work I upgraded to the daily ALSA snapshot
  found here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-
  dev/+archive/ubuntu/alsa-daily/+packages

  The output of alsa-info.sh is here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=08cf13552b70232c96fea9293fdd54066243d79a I have downloaded the HDA Analyzer tool but I can't seem to get the internal speakers to work correctly in any consistent way, although they do occasionally work correctly for a few seconds. I can consistently make sound come from the speakers if I chose VREF = 50 or 80 in Node[0x0d]pin but it sounds like I am using a much smaller lower quality speaker when I do that. Here is the text dump for that node configuration:
  Node 0x0d [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x41048b: Stereo Amp-In
    Amp-In caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x03, stepsize=0x27, mute=0
    Amp-In vals: [0x00 0x00]
    Pincap 0x00001764: IN Detect Balance
      Vref caps: HIZ 50 GRD 80
    Pin Default 0x400000f0: [N/A] Line Out at Ext N/A
      Conn = Unknown, Color = Unknown
      DefAssociation = 0xf, Sequence = 0x0
    Unsolicited: tag=0x00, enabled=0
    Power: setting=D0, actual=D0
    Delay: 1 samples

  WORKAROUND for the headphones only: # echo "options snd-hda-intel
  model=imac27_122" >> /etc/modprobe.d/imac_local.conf followed by a
  reboot.
