[SOLVED]No sound

The sound stopped working, quite suddenly and I don't know whether its a hardware issue or a misconfiguration / etc. I see no errors in dmesg and xmms tends to play my files, I just cant hear them. Is there a way to find out what kind of problem it is ( hardware / software ) ?

lspci | grep audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 11)

alsa is in the daemons list, and I am in the audio group. Restarting ALSA or runnig xmms as root doesnt help.

the problem has been solved
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Intel … ith_ICH845

all i know is it works..

Re: [SOLVED]No sound

Hey there!

Try running alsamixer and make sure, the channels are not muted (indicated by the [M] beneath the volume bars). Additionally you have to save the mixer levels. The most convenient way is to put "alsa" to the Daemon array in /etc/rc.conf , then the mixer settings will be saved and restored for you while shutting down / booting.

Cheers,
mfa

@mfa The channels are not muted, and alsa is in the daemons list
I tried my best to resolve the problem but no luck. I'm posting some files, maybe someone can help.

I tried both ac97_quirk=0/1 neither helps
