Indeed, and here:
http://linux.aldeby.org/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops.html/8#audio
it says: "Ubuntu Wiki has a well done wiki concerning this issue:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto ".

("lsmod" should confirm that you are indeed using the snd-hda-intel module).

Good luck!
