I guess this is sort of a mix of bugs on different Intel sound cards, which all manifest similarly. I'm guessing a similar line in /etc/modules would fix those cards too, I just don't know what to put. I guess you could try different values for that model= part, but I'm going to go see if there's a bugreport upstream at alsa. -- Sound works sometimes on boot - sometimes not https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/57455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm Googling it, and it looks like some are saying that the newer alsa modules have it fixed. You can try compiling the newest alsa driver into your kernel or see if it works with an up-to-date Feisty (I haven't tried changing my /etc/modules back to blank since those options had it working, so I haven't tried to see if newer Feisty works by itself, I just know that it didn't in February). -- Sound works sometimes on boot - sometimes not https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/57455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Possible fix (worked for me, thanks to gnubien on #alsa): add this to /etc/modules options snd-hda-intel model=m2-2 Changes will take effect on reboot. To get it going *now*: lsof /dev/snd/* and close every app listed (easiest to do so through the process manager / task manager thing), then do it again to make sure there's no output (meaning all the sound apps are closed). If there's no output: sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel then sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel and sound should be there. -- Sound works sometimes on boot - sometimes not https://launchpad.net/bugs/57455 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also think this might have something to do with battery level... It seems that both times this happened recently, although the laptop was plugged into AC, the battery was at a very low level. I'll pay attention if/when this happens again... devnull wrote: This happens to me too (with ICH7 family chipset).

Ok - I waited for the kde sound server to go idle (default 60 seconds) and then: cat /dev/urandom /dev/dsp This appeared to work as normal, minus any sound output Could it be outputting to the headphone port? ahhh - tested plugging in headphone set while running above command - that in and of itself did not fix it... However, I then opened kmix and played with master volume one more time ... sound came out speakers - not headphone. I will try this again next time i reboot and this does not work.
