I don't have no more sound after kernel 2.6.30 upgrade

Garret · 2009-06-25 15:54:15

I have not ever had problems with sound, after this last kernel 2.6.30 upgrade.
Following the guide, as in this topic, I was able to restore the sound again.
But now, after reboot, it has redisappeared again.
I also tried to do again the alsaconf procedure. It recognizes my sound card, but the sound doesn't work.

EDIT: I found that with games the audio works (for example in openarena). Then, when i return on gnome, the audio is like mute.
So the problem is only on Gnome.

i try with alsaconf and works again, i think is for the new modprobe.d...

Garret · 2009-06-25 18:55:42

I found that vlc, totem-xine, games (like openarena), are OK, the audio works as it should.
Instead with flash, smplayer, rhytmbox don't work.

But with smplayer audio works if i set as exit driver not alsa, but alsa (1.0 -HDA Intel), as in the picture.

Rhytmbox instead gives me an error where autoaudiosink and alsasink seem don't work at the moment.

Then i saw that gstreamer-properties was set in a wrong way. Infact i saw that with "Default" device the sound doesn't work, instead with another option the audio works:

For audio works i mean when i click on "try" button and hear a beep.

Similar problem here, run alsaconf again and was solved. Weird behaviours in Gnome with kernel 2.6.30 remains, tho, seems related to Intel video with KMS.

This is my /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf:

┌─[01:54]─[~]
└─[%]─> cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
# Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=hp-dv5

the same card:

This doens't work for me

Garret,

I had the same problem, and actually I was able to solve it quite easy :-)

Somehow volume is (at least for me) tunable with the speaker slider now. I just enabled every slider in kmix, and used it. Speaker suddenly gave me my sound back
Maybe this is the solution for you, too.

TheGrudge · 2009-09-26 08:52:42

Oh and another thing I had to do: run alsaconf as root (no X server started, otherwise it didn't work for me).
I always had an error message on startup that my hardware is unknown, alsaconf fixed this issue.
But I had to shutdown KDM (or in your case, GDM?), because it didn't work otherwise.
