HDA Intel has been nothing but a total disaster for me. I built a new 
system a few months ago using an AsRock ConRoe945G-DVI motherboard. After 
the system has been up for a while (it could be anywhere from a few 
minutes to a few days) the sound device would "lockup". 
eg "cat /etc/passwd > /dev/sound/dsp" would just pause and never 
finishes. Sometimes "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" gets it going again, 
other a reboot. Another thing was that the mixing was very flaky, it 
sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. 

I started off with the kernel alsa drivers then changed to alsa-driver but 
the problem persisted. So I got fed up and a couple of weeks ago I just 
bought a cheapo sound card to replace the onboard one, and haven't had a 
problem since.

2007-04-02 Thread Daniel Pielmeier

I've rebooted today with kernel 2.6.19 (used 2.6.18 before). I have a
Intel 945G/GZ/P/PL motherboard and a Intel hda on board soundcard
(Alsamixer says "Card: HDA Intel" and "Chip: Realtek ALC260").


Look for the Bugs concerning the kernel and hda-intel drivers
http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL+alsa+hda

For me alsa-driver (not kernel-alsa) did not work with kernel 2.6.19
too. I upgraded to kernel 2.6.20 and latest alsa-driver, and my
problem was solved.

I don't know anything about the Gentoo kernel, but there have been
significant changes affecting snd-hda-intel in the mainline kernel after
2.6.19. You could try 2.6.21-rc5 and see if that helps.

[gentoo-user] headphones don't work since upgrade to kernel 2.6.19???

2007-04-01 Thread Wolfgang Liebich
Hi,
I've rebooted today with kernel 2.6.19 (used 2.6.18 before). I have a
Intel 945G/GZ/P/PL motherboard and a Intel hda on board soundcard
(Alsamixer says "Card: HDA Intel" and "Chip: Realtek ALC260").
I've listened to music via headphones plugged in on the
frontside. Suddenly this setup don't work anymore:
If I turn up the PCM playback source in the alsamixer, I hear the
sound from the builtin PC boxen. If I turn PCM level to 0 I hear
nothing. The Headphon channel is dead. 
What now?
Kernel version:
Linux atpcbygc 2.6.19-gentoo-r5
I use the alsa drivers coming with the kernel.
Troubled in vienna,
Wolfgang
