I've tested Dave's branch (above) and confirm that the audio works with the drivers configured either as modules. (It also works with the drivers compiled into the kernel).
The LT kernel works when build with the drivers are built-in (set to 'y' in .config), but not when configured as modules. When configured as modules, I get the following output at boot time: * Starting restore sound card(s') mixer state(s) [fail] Then, if I check for pcm files as Dave suggested, there are none: root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~# ls /dev/snd/pcm* ls: cannot access /dev/snd/pcm*: No such file or directory And finally, when I try to play a sound, I get the following error output: root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~# ogg123 /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/bark.ogg Audio Device: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) output Playing: /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/bark.ogg Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 48000 Hz ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.front ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:4663:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default ERROR: Cannot open device alsa. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862626 Title: [regression] AACI driver on vexpress never gets loaded on Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-landing-team-arm/+bug/862626/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
