[SOLVED] No sound from speakers, headphones work (laptop, ALSA)

Sorry about another "No sound"-thread . So, the headphones work just fine, I can play music or Youtube-videos or whatever but the speakers on my laptop stay mute no matter what I do. I even tested the speakers with a Ubuntu CD to check if I've broken them somehow.

I've been having this odd problem for a week or so, I don't know since I usually use the headphones on my laptop anyway.

lspci|grep Audio shows:

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series]

With running 'amixer' I get sh*tload of stuff

lsmod|grep snd

snd_seq_oss            35584  0 
snd_seq_midi_event      9344  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                58336  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          9364  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_hda_intel         529844  0 
snd_pcm_oss            45568  0 
snd_mixer_oss          18944  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                82952  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              24720  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc         11792  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep              10632  1 snd_hda_intel
snd                    65096  9 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep
soundcore               9632  1 snd

Could it be a driver issue? I just need some cryptic parameter to some module, right?

I've been playing around with alsamixer to fix this problem, maybe I've just messed things up a bit more? I really don't know much about ALSA, so the answer might just be obvious to some.

Thanks!

Solved by compiling & installing new alsa-driver. You can get it from here: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ … 12.tar.bz2
