I'm having the same problem. My soundcard is an nVidia onboard an Asus M2NPV-VM.
Here's the same output: lspci -nn |egrep -i 's(ou)?nd|audio|media' 00:10.1 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio [10de:026c] (rev a2) __________________ lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 23708 0 snd_hda_codec 184192 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 48672 0 snd_mixer_oss 21888 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 89096 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 29192 1 snd_pcm snd 65256 6 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 15392 1 snd snd_page_alloc 14864 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm __________________ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 5 __________________ cat /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.12rc1 emulation code) Kernel: Linux deb64 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu May 31 23:51:05 UTC 2007 x86_64 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 5 Audio devices: 0: AD198x Analog (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: Analog Devices AD1986A __________________ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 __________________ This is the motherboard that high-pitch left channel bug. alsaconf shows two sound devices, i always go for the first. I don't usually reboot, but when i do, there goes the sound. I have no modem though (i use an ethernet router through dhcp) so that card0 probably doesn't apply to me. I'm not using KDE, but GNOME leftovers and Xfce, i'll try killing the session. I've also had trouble setting up the mic, apparently all the devices i chose are not working. Is there a default one? I wanna use VoIP stuff. Nuno -- Fica bem, porta-te mal. Be well, misbehave. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
