VIA VT1705 Audio Codec Latest kernel update leads to no sound. Booting old kernels gives no sound. Modprobe includes
dist-alsa.conf: install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq dist-oss.conf is disabled (for good reason.) The only new thing is openfwwf.conf options b43 nohwcrypt=1 qos=0 no messages in dmsg or messages about sound, snd, or alsa. As a result of an earlier kernel update screwing up a known good nouveau configuration I now have the nVidia drivers installed. Sound preferences declares no audio. Have tried reboots and complete shutdown and reboots to no avail. Any ideas? {^_^}
