[Josh Kupershmidt <schmiddy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a very recent MacBook Pro 13". The command 'sudo dmidecode -s
system-product-name' gives me 'MacBookPro5,5'. I've attached the output
of 'lspci'. Neither speakers nor headphone output worked for me with the
default Jaunty install.

After adding (actually, creating this file from scratch -- it didn't
exist yet) the line "options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3" to
/etc/modprobe.d/options and rebooting, I still have no sound in either
speakers or headphones.

When I open "Volume Control" by right-clicking the gnome volume slider,
I have the soundcard options:

 * HDA Nvidia (Alsa Mixer)
 * Generic 1013 ID 4206 (OSS Mixer)
 * Playback: HDA Nvidia - HDA Generic (PulseAudo Mixer)
 * Capture: Monitor of HDA Nvidia - HDA Generic (PulseAudio Mixer) 
 * Capture: HDA Nvidia - HDA Generic (PulseAudio Mixer)

I've tried playing with the first three soundcard options with no luck.
When I click on the "Preferences" button for option "HDA Nvidia (Alsa
Mixer)" I see a "Volume Control Preferences" box with a "Select tracks
to be visible" prompt with the following options:

 [x] | Master  | Playback
 [x] | PCM      | Playback
 [ ] | Capture | Recording

None of the preferences for any of the soundcard options I see say
anything about 2 channels vs. 6 channels. Can anyone help me out?

Bug description:
There is no sound output for MacBook 5.1 for Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) as of Alpha 5 unless "options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3" is added manually to /etc/modprobe.d/options. Adding this should not be required.
