Sound Problem with Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller

[d3ngar]

Hey,

I have the most annoying sound problem since upgrading to 9.10. Sometimes my sound adapter doesn't get recognised, but then other times it comes on fine at start up.

I have been able to force alsa to restart and then all is good:

sudo alsa force-reload

(screenshots attached)

But I do get some weird message, sometimes, which I don't understand:

lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/dengar/.gvfs

What's the fuse deamon and does anyone have a cure?

OK, bump?!

It seems that I get the same thing too. When restarting ALSA everything works fine. However some times (or all the time - not sure) seems that I have sound. It used to work good when I first installed everything. I followed the instructions found here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic to add extra decoders and stuff. since then I get the sound on and of and on again thing. Hope somebody has a solution to this. It seems to me though that my problem is not random but permanent. I need to restart ALSA all the time.

I'm just going to bump this one more time...

This problem still exists for me...
