Hello gentoo-users,
I've got a Samsung laptop with Intel HDA sound card (Realtek ALC269VB )
Yesterday I updated software (it was about a month old; I did a eix-sync
and emerge -Du @world) and somehow sound disappeared: the kernel module
(snd-hda-intel) still loads and the devices get detected (the
aforementioned Realtek codec and HDMI codecs). alsa-mixer also seems to
function. At least, it shows the sound card and allows to change volume
levels. (in /sys there are also entries for sound/card0)
But in KDE, the Kmix complains of the device not working, mpg123 says
cannot find card 0, etc.
Before the update, everything worked, the kernel version was 3.7.0. I
even installed kernels 3.7.4, 3.6.11, with many combinations of
HDA-related options and module parameters, all in vain, now I installed
3.7.4 with ultra-verbose DEBUG enabled for ALSA and that's what I'm getting:
=== BEGIN /var/log/messages ===

As one can see, the line
> BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
indicates a bug, doesn't it?
If it is a bug, what should I do?
(I have ~amd64 in keywords, pulseaudio is disabled, alsa enabled in USE
flags)
Strangely enough, I've got another laptop (a little newer model of
Samsung), also with Realtek, and there the software update didn't cause
any problems.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
