Hi
I have an intel hda audio device
Alsa had work without problems, I do a reboot and now skype tell me a problem with the sound device..
I have reinstalled more times, but it won't work....
I get no error message in the logs or in dmesg
I use arch current
any suggestions?

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

Can you be more specific about the error you get from Skipe?
R.

Have you updated anything lately that could have broken alsa? Make sure the proper snd_ module is also loaded. Does skype use native alsa or is it using the OSS wrapper. If it's using the wrapper, try starting it with aoss /path/to/skype and see if that works.

i use that driver too.
With driver of kernel26 of arch it did not work. I had to compile my own driver. This are the steps:
-download latest alsa or alsahg, alsa-driver-hg20070213.tar.bz2 in my case ( ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/ )
-decompress the file
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
make
make install
with that, probably your problems will over. now it works on my toshiba l35 laptop
(with modprobe snd-hda-intel model=3stack-digout)

Skype uses the oss-emulation. I haven't do any changes, only reboot.

The Skype error is exactly "Problem with sound Device"
I try the aoss thing
fk@box ~]$ aoss skype
volume_open: error opening /dev/mixer: No such device
volume_open: error opening: No such device
volume_open: error opening: No such device
volume_open: error opening: No such device
/dev/dsp: No such device
/dev/dsp: No such device
The normal sound is also broken...only the KDE system sounds work

Just to be on the safe side ... on a console issue "alsamixer", then make sure that the volume of all supported channels in your sound card are (a) un-muted and (b) that the volume is at a least 60% .

Another thing to try might be to disable KDE's system sound and see if that helps. Just a shot.

Check if /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp are really missing. Maybe it just can't access them because of permission isuue or conflict with another oss app..
Offline
[root@box fk]# cd /dev
[root@box dev]# ls | grep mixer
mixer
[root@box dev]# ls | grep dsp
adsp
dsp
Both are there, the mixer levels all unmuted and 60%+
I have installed amarok, and when I start I get the Error that no device is found

Check if your user is still in the audio group.

OK it's solved, very wired but now it works...
I disabled the card in the Bios, rebooted, activate the card and now it works...
THX anyone for help
