    it only shows "Dummy Output" on "Sound Settings"

    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
    Code:
    # disable bluetooth
    blacklist btusb
    
    # possible soundcard bug
    blacklist i82975x_edac
    my sound card is

    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:
    Code:
    # 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

    Re: Acer Aspire One no sound Dummy Output upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10

    the one and only, solution! yeah!!!

    just add snd-hda-intel to /etc/modules
    and restart, it works for linux-3.7 kernel ^^

    No luck for me unfortunately, with either the standard kernel or the current mainline

    The suggestion and link from kiswono worked for me, thanks!
    that doc is a great walkthrough. super-simple help in the appendices, straightforward steps in the main document.

    It went wrong for me after a couple of months of uptime and a big system update.
