The first is for your actual soundcard, and the the second appears to be a
sound component on the graphics card for HDMI. Both from a bit of googling
appear to use the snd-hda-intel driver, but as your lsmod below shows, the
snd-hda-intel module isn't loaded. Please go to the bottom of the post for
some suggestions, which may, or may not work, but are worth trying.

First try loading the snd-hda-intel module as root. See below.
modprobe snd-hda-intel
If you are just returned to the prompt, then run, lsmod | grep snd again, and
see if the snd-hda-intel module is listed. If modprobe complains that it
can't load the module, it could possibly be due to the fact that both the
soundcard, and the sound component in the graphics card for HDMI, are both
using snd-hda-intel, and there is some sort of conflict.
if the modprobe snd-hda-intel does result in the module showing up in lsmod's
output, add snd-hda-intel to /etc/modules. Reboot, and run lsmod | grep snd,
and see if the snd-hda-intel module is there. Then run the commands below.
I don't expect much success from my suggestions above, so let's try this.
Having removed the line for snd-hda-intel from /etc/modules, add this line
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. See below.
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
This option will select only the first codec (the one for your soundcard), and
ignore the one for the RS780 Azalia controller one, which also uses
snd-hda-intel, and may be causing a problem.
Having set the above options line, reboot, and run the following commands
again.
I doubt whether any of this is going to get the sounds working, but worth a
try.
Please post back all the output from the commands.
Is the HP dv4 a new machine? It's possible it's not supported yet with alsa.
All the best.
Nigel.

That worked. It loads.

The modprobe at the commandline managed to turn the red microphone
icon on the laptop white (or I that's what did it).

The effect of that was to eliminate "/proc/asound/card0/codec#1:Codec:
LSI ID 1040" from the grep above.

I didn't see this reply until I stumbled across it in a google
search.

I bought it new but I've no idea how long the model's been out.
Thanks Nigel.

No sound on HP dv4
I just plugged a pair of external speakers into this thing this
morning, and found it all appears to work. YouTube videos and wmv
files play fine.

Red mic icon is again red.
