I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 in my Alienware 14 (july-2013) laptop.

Apparently there is no sound from speakers, however when I connect headphones sound is perfect through them.

I've tried to purge-remove-reinstall alsa drivers and pulseaudio, and still no sound. I even tried some solution I found through this site related to adding the following:

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (I also tried with generic, Intel, dell and ref) and no luck whatsoever. I also tried updating to the latest kernel (3.12) and still without sound coming out from the speakers. Volume controls are all un-muted, I checked it as well.

Any suggestion?

This is the output for the command aplay -l

I finally managed to solve it somehow. I added this two lines to alsa-base.conf (and also enabling auto-mute in alsa-mixer):

After rebooting, sound is working from the speakers.
