8.04(x64) No sound after suspend/resume

[ac14112]

I'm kinda a noob at linux, so anyone who answers is gonna have to kinda dumb it down for me. I recently installed Hardy Heron (x64) and have been having a problem with my sound after i suspend and resume the system. It works perfectly fine before I suspend, but afterwords, i get nothing. I have searched for the solution, but nothing i try works. I tried killing and restarting pulseaudio and alsa and editing
sudo gedit etc/default/acpi-support and changed mode from "mem" to "standby", but that also doesnt work. If I restart my computer, then the sound works just fine, but i dont want to have to do that after every suspend, obviously. Please help! Thanks.

What sound board do you have? If it is an intel HD audio compatible adapter (like e.g. my built in Realtek 889a) then you may need to specify some configuration in /etc/modprobe/alsabase. Maybe you can find your card here:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Docum...figuration.txt
Scroll down to line 770. It worked for me - as soon as i specified the options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig in my configuration file sound worked after suspend. Before that it only worked before the PC had been in suspend mode. I didn't have to specify my card in Gutsy.

BR,

Thanks for the answer, I have an ALC882 and I tried what you said, however, I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Here is my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file as it is now:

The bold is what i inserted, but it still has no sound after I suspend and resume. I'm sorry, I'm really really new at this, more help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[ac14112]

Sorry, I'm dumb, after computer restart, it works fine. Thanks so much for your help!

[sebrock]

should it bnot be "snd-hda-intel model=6stack-digout"???

[ac14112]

Idk, but what I have there is what works. I dont have any problems with the sound now when I suspend and resume.

[sebrock]

Well, I tried both and funny enough the only one that works is "dig" and not "digout" as it is stated in the kernel documents. Strange...

Thanks for the tip anyway!

[arturic]

I had the same issue. The solution by reesje worked perfectly I have ALC885. Thank you very much, I'd never figure this out by myself.

I'd like to say that I upgraded from 7.10 (x64) and never had this issue before this kernel version (2.6.24-19). Also with other kernel versions (I think 2.6.24-18 or -16 but not sure) suspend didn't work at all, at power up it said resume failed and then rebooted.

That is my alsa-base.conf file, but my sound still doesn't work after suspend.. what am I doing wrong.

@sphyg04 Did you verify that you have Intel sound hardware?

aplay -l

in a terminal will give you a list of your sound hardware.

I have had this issue for quite a while and have been working around it by creating a launcher that executed:

sudo alsa force-reload

But remembering to double click on it every time I came out of suspend was a pain and if I didn't remember until I noticed that sound wasn't working there were several programs like VLC & Virtualbox that crashed when reloading alsa.

Anyway the solution in this thread worked for me on a machine with an Asus MB and Hardy (8.04) 32bit.
