Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.12-1
Severity: normal

In all Debian kernel packages above 2.6.8, sound is completely broken on my
laptop.  Trying to adjust volume settings gives me errors of this sort in the
kernel log:

register 0x2

No evidence that the mixer settings actually change.  In any case, sound
apps hang when trying to open the sound device for output, so it hardly seems
to matter if the mixer works.

Sound device is, from lspci:

0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) 
AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

and lspci -n:

Under 2.6.8, the following modules are loaded:

I haven't checked yet how this list compares to what gets loaded under
2.6.12.
