I have recently run into a problem with alsa on my Dell Inspiron 8200.
It has an intel 810 sound system which was working fine under alsa with
my self-compiled 2.6.5 kernel. However when I upgraded to a newer 2.6.7
kernel the sound stopped working. I did not change my .config between
versions and the appropriate modules are being built, however the sound
card is no longer detected.
Looking through the kernel and alsa documentation did not turn up
anything, nor have any similar problem reports shown up in google. I
have tried everything I can think of including configuration changes,
updating alsa libraries and modutils changes but nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on or suggestions for
further information?
You didn't mention it, so I'll ask. I have an Inspiron 8200 as well, and
I'm running a self-compiled 2.6.7 kernel. Have you tried just the simple
route of running alsaconf? alsaconf successfully configures my sound
without a problem.
