I also have no sound with a recent etch install and an onboard Intel sound card. If I play a test sound with aplay or mplayer, I get no sound and no errors. I did run alsaconf. Sound works OK on the same machine booted to the XP partition. Some specs of my etch system are at the bottom.

I'd rather not do this much manual installation, because I'll have to manually uninstall all of it when a new deb-file version appears. So I may just wait. Alsa 1.0.14 is not yet in unstable. I'm wondering, though, if my sound problem may be something else anyway. When I boot, I get this two-line error repeated quite a few times: hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0x17 amixer: Mixer hw:0 load error: Invalid argument Do I just need alsa 1.0.14, or does this indicate some other problem? Thanks. --------------------- Some specs for the etch setup: /etc/modprobe.d/sound alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13:55:50 2006 UTC) /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0x90200000 irq 58 /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_hda_intel /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.12rc1 emulation code) Kernel: Linux drx 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 4 16:41:14 UTC 2006 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: HDA Intel at 0x90200000 irq 58 Audio devices: 0: STAC92xx Analog (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: SigmaTel STAC9227 lsmod (sound-related modules) snd_hda_intel 17332 0 snd_hda_codec 137856 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 38368 0 snd_mixer_oss 15200 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 68644 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 20996 1 snd_pcm snd 47012 7 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9248 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9640 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm uname -a Linux foobar 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 4 16:41:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux Under /proc/asound/card0 were 3 files (codec#2, id, and oss_mixer) and 3 directories (pcm0c, pcm0p, pcm1c, and pcm1p).
