Here are the quick facts:
1 - ALSA used to work. I don't know when it stopped working... if it
was after a kernel upgrade or an upgrade in some of the alsa-tools or
what. But now, I get no sound. I don't get any *errors*... I just don't
get any sound.
2 - Typical problem in this case is that the volumes are all muted.
However, in this case, if I run "alsamixer", I get "function
snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device".
3 - /proc/alsa/cards contains "--- no soundcards ---".
4 - OSS *does* work. (No, I don't want to use it because I can't get
KDE and XMMS to use it at the same time)
5 - 'lsmod' shows that the intel8x0 *is* loaded... as well as
soundcore, and a lot of other things that lsmod claims intel8x0 uses.
Any ideas?
This sounds pretty close to what happened to me with my Inspiron 8200
after a kernel upgrade, I posted a question here and got a response from
Bruno Muller to try booting with "pci=noacpi" passed to the kernel.
Everything works hunky-dory now, you might want to give it a shot. He
