No sound after kernel upgrade to 2.6.14

I have just installed the new kernel with full respect of pacman install messages. Everything works OK but sound. Mixer is configured correctly as it was before (no mute on working channels for playback - checked with alsamixer and aumix). Seems like a failure of capturing device... Running alsaconf makes no solution. I have applied all changes in *.conf from *.pacnew leaving my specific addons unchanged (nothing critical). I am sure all *.conf files are correct.

Is there any other problem like this - or, better, its solution? Thank you. I am going to continue my investigation tomorrow.

Maybe better to fallback to a working kernel. I had the same under arch64. With kernel 2.6.15rc5 sound is working again.

clean /etc/modprobe.conf from alsa stuff and rerun alsaconf after it

Thanks Tpowa for all your effort you spent on upgrading kernel packages. Unfortunately, your cure doesn't make a dumb archer speaking 
Can be a collision between alsa module loading from rc.conf and the settigs in modprobe.conf? I have there an option for my snd_intel8x0 (ac97_quirk=0), which was necessarry for the 2.6.13

Re: No sound after kernel upgrade to 2.6.14

well modprobe.conf sets module options that are used by loading the module, somtimes modules change and these parameters in modprobe.conf just make it unusable, from my side this was just a guess from my experience with last kernel updates and problems that some ppl had.

Re: No sound after kernel upgrade to 2.6.14

I had to re-add my name to all my user groups recently.  I thought it was just me.  I found this out after trying to run an OpenGL app and the advice from Nvidia wasn't working.  Then, same as you, there was no sound.  Bah, I can't remember where I saw the list of user groups.  Try this anyway:
# gpasswd -a USERNAME audio
