Hello there, I've been unable to get sound working (for more than a short while, more on that in a minute) on my ThinkPad T61, which has an Analog Devices 1984 (AD1984) sound controller. I'm currently running Debian lenny (2.6.22-3-686 kernel, alsa 1.0.15).
When at first the sound didn't work, I followed the instructions at http://www.klabs.be/~fpiat/linux/debian/Lenny_on_Thinkpad_T61/#Sound; that is, to run: apt-get install module-assistant alsa-source module-assistant prepare module-assistant update module-assistant a-i alsa-source apt-get remove --purge alsa-modules-$(uname -r) invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart and then open volume control, go to the "Switch" tab, untick and retick the speaker tab, unmute PCM, and then press the "volume up" button on the keyboard a few times (to eliminate the hardware mute, I believe). To my delight, this worked. However, when I shut down and later rebooted, nothing worked anymore. Redoing all of these steps didn't help. Bizarrely, the volume control application no longer even has the "Switch" tab, so I can't follow part of the steps anymore. I've googled around, but haven't come across anything that looked like it could resolve my problem. In some desperation I tried reinstalling lenny, and even then when I followed the above steps nothing worked. Any thoughts?
