Hello again,

I can't get my sound card to work and I can't see what I am missing

[12:48:03]# hwd -e | grep snd

The module is properly loaded but even when I drag up the mixer volume in the bottom shelf, it always goes straight back to Null...
Any pointer will be welcome as I can't see what to check next

Thanks
Ludo

Re: 10de:026c Audio dev: nVidia Corporation mod: snd-hda-intel <- no sound

this happened to me. in my case, hda module wasn't detecting my card model correctly, so I added

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-660

to /etc/modprobe.conf.

after that, proper controls were visible in alsamixer, EXCEPT ONE. and guess which one? PCM!

how to make it appear is akin to magic. one thing that worked most of the time was to play a file with aplay.

then, once PCM has appeared, be sure to save the state with alsactl -store and/or /etc/rc.d/alsa (and also, add it to rc.conf daemons array, so that it gets reloaded and PCM will reappear magically on each boot).
