I have upgraded the dist to 2.6.24-1-686, the problem still exists.
I tried the ways I can do to install the driver successfully, but still has
no sound to output.
- I downloaded the latest alsa driver 1.16 and it's compiled successfully,
and the alsa-lib alsa-util can be installed without problems, the volume can
be ajusted well, mute or unmute ok.
- use "m-a a-i alsa-source" to compile the driver and install it.
But no sound to output.
It's suffering me a lot. I tried to load the module using " modprobe
snd-hda-intel model=dell-m44" or "m42", it can't solve the problem. Whenever
opening the audio file, it returns the alsa lib error and errors like "no
sound card found":
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function
snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Also the output of "aplay -l" returns the following errors:
aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...
But seems the driver has been loaded and sound card can be detected, it's
confused.
Here is some relevant info:
