i have tried to purge alsa-base and pulseaudio then install again, reboot, but still not working..

i have tried to blacklist some module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, that i've read in archlinux forum is the cause of the similar problem, but no luck

# disable bluetooth
blacklist btusb

# possible soundcard bug
blacklist i82975x_edac

my sound card is

$ sudo lshw -c sound

is this kernel problem? and how to fix this?


btw somehow fglrx works worse than fglrx-updates for 12.10
but fglrx works better than fglrx-updates for 12.04 --> just sayin..

Yea, its a kernel problem...what kind of update would it be if you didnt have to deal with some ******** about your hardware not working anymore? I have different hardware from you but still the same problem with snd-hda-intel and although its a half-assed fix, if you can roll back to a 3.2 kernel by holding shift when starting up, that'll fix your audio (but also knock you back to the stupid years old issue of suspend suddenly and randomly making your hard drive slow as death which is fixed in 3.5) so its something in between 3.2 and 3.5

'____' ah i see.. thanks for your reply..

btw, some other failed attempt:

# alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
#options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire position_fix=1

[greyskulll]

BUMP !!!

Got the exact same issue here ... practically clueless on fixing this !
