Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum. When I boot up, when I'm getting the output telling me about all the modules and such that are loaded, recently I've gotten a message saying that it has detected some unknown hardware, and it says [FAIL] at the right, where things normally say [PASS] or whatever. The error message is "Unkown hardware: 'HDA-Intel' 'SigmaTel STAC9205' 'HDA:034 HDA:14<more numbers> ' '0x1028' '0x01fe' Hardware is initialized using a guess method"...does anyone have any idea what that means?
Otherwise, it's working fine. However, I think right around the same time a weird beep started. It's not the system beep, it's a sharper and nastier one that goes through the computer speakers and any external speakers plugged in. It always does it when I get to the gdm login screen. I'm not sure if they are related but it seems like it might be.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I have this problem too, except for me, it's a slightly different error message:
Unknown hardware: "HDA-Intel" "VIA VIA VT1708" "HDA:11061708,15580663,00100700 HDA:10573055,10573055,00100700" "0x1106" "0x3288"
Hardware is initialized using a guess methodOffline
That is your soundcard, the snd-hda-intel kernel module. Maybe one of the module parameters needs to be specified. See modinfo -p snd-hda-intel.
If sound is working, then you can probably ignore it.

I too have this problem on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop. I tried the modinfo but I'm not familiar with any of the parameters it lists. Again, sound is working but the startup error is annoying.

Ok after some more digging found the following fix:
Just manually run as root (or sudo):
$ /etc/rc.d/alsa stopAlsa starts up fine on the next reboot.
Found that here:

Please mark thread as SOLVED if this works for you too.
