Public bug reported: Using an updated gutsy. I had just gotten my hda-intel sound to work, then I got some synaptic upgrades which I installed and then it said I needed to reboot. Once I had rebooted the machine my sound didn't work anymore. I noticed that in this last synaptic upgrade I got a new kernel (the new one was 2.6.22-12-generic).
In gnome volume control under "file::change device" I used to see two devices (they were "HDA Intel" and "RealTek ALC268"). I had "HDA Intel" selected when the sound worked. After the upgrade+reboot I only see one alternative in this menu and it says "Realtek ID 268" (not quite the same as before, small difference there). Also, before I could launch "alsamixer" but now it just says "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" and fails to start. I have seen some really weird messages in "dmesg" which I think is related to this (see bottom of the attached file). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hda-intel sound stopped working after synaptic upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144020 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
