[Bug 1324384] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad X61s] Speaker volume mutes itself in random intervals after upgrade to 14.04
Alexander Fedora, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (2.22). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Thank you for your understanding.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
[Lenovo ThinkPad X61s] Speaker volume mutes itself in random intervals
after upgrade to 14.04
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've upgraded from ubuntu 13.10 and sound stopped working properly. It works in general. But mutes itself for small period of time in random intervals. I've looked at alsamixer and it shown what once in a while some of the parameters got to the lowest level and then returning to normal after some time. It is reproing on Speaker. But also Internal Mic Boost jumps from 100% to 0% and then back to 100%.
BTW, when sound mutes on speaker, headphones are still working. So looks like alsamixer reports volumes correctly. I've also tried to purge pulseaudio and alsa-base packages and re-installing them again.
But I was able to find workaround. Audio works just fine with old
kernels. I've tried with 3.5.0-15 and 3.5.0-27. It works with both
kernels. I've also tried newest kernel from next ubuntu version.
3.15.0-031500rc5 - audio is not working in new kernel.
