Since installing 2.6.0 on my laptop, my soundcard no longer works. There's hiss on the speakers, that changes volume when I adjust the master volume slider; but there's no output from anything: cd (via xmcd) /dev/dsp (cat x.wav > /dev/dsp0) the PC speaker, or even using the ALSA utilities (aplay x.wav).
It's an I810 with AC'97. The funny thing is it doesn't work now even for kernels that used to work (e.g., 2.6.0-test10, or 2.4.23) I even tried booting from the Knoppix 3.3 CD to see if it was a stupid configuration option in /etc/asound.conf The funny thing is that if I turn off the machine, I can play CDs through the front panel switches. I guess that this bypasses much of the sound card internals. I'm using Debian unstable on a Clevo 56000P laptop. The other possibility is of course that the heat's killed it. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au The technical we do immediately, the political takes *forever* -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
