No sound with kernel26-ck

gskbyte · 2010-11-25 00:48:04

Hi,

yesterday I installed the kernel26-ck package from AUR, added its entry to GRUB and so on, and everything works well (and sometimes even better), but I don't have sound. I have a very common soundcard that doesn't give me problems, this is what lspci shows:

 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

Im running Arch Linux for x86_64. The init script doesn't show any errors, I have checked /var/log/messages.log and there is nothing strange. Also, if I start alsamixer it shows my soundcard name, but anything is played.

Some hints?

Thank you,

Jose

I had the same thing happen with my laptop and the ck kernel, though I haven't had time to look into it much. Are you running 64-bit? My other computer running 32bit is working fine, It's also working with the standard arch kernel from core and an older ck kernel (2.6.35.7 was the last one I compiled). I was thinking of upgrading to the 2.6.36 kernel from testing to make sure there's not some regression there. Otherwise I think it might be related to streanline config option missing something since I didn't use that on my old kernel.

Looks like my soundcard is similar though a bit older

Yes, I'm running 64-bit, I forgot to mention it (I just added it). Do you mean it could be a regression of the 2.6.36-ck version?

Thank you!

Odd, I decided to try messing with it some tonight, rebooted with the ck kernel and now sound is working fine. Wish I could tell you what changed.

Edited to add:
My initial thought when I rebooted was to look at what modules I had to see if something was missing. Here's my output from lsmod with the sound working running kernel26-ck
