Re: No sound on internal speaker

Card 1 is a Nvidia graphic card; it does not allow to play sound on the
internal speaker.

I found the solution. The Lenovo P520 is a dual codec workstation; ALC662
(hw:0,0) drives the rear audio plugs; ALC233 (hw:0,4) drives the front
audio plugs and the internal speaker.
So hw:0,4 should be used for playback.

Hope it will help other people.
