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:

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: 0000:00:1f.5 0401: 8086:24d5 (rev 02) Under 2.6.8, the following modules are loaded: snd_intel8x0m 20872 0 snd_intel8x0 37452 2 snd_ac97_codec 70884 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 55912 1 snd_mixer_oss 20384 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 102948 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 27492 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 12008 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm gameport 5120 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_mpu401_uart 8640 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 26084 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8456 1 snd_rawmidi I haven't checked yet how this list compares to what gets loaded under 2.6.12. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
