I've lost all sound

[anathema415]

Ok I went into the .18 kernel. No sound. Low Graphics mode, etc.. While booting in I caught some of the messages and there was a fail, but it went to fast for me to see. So I did dmesg. I did another dmesg for the .19 kernel. I'm attaching both to see if those help.

well I am stumped, I dont see a reason the alsa drivers are loading off the cd but are not loading inyour current config you can try to force them by adding

snd-hda-intel

to

/etc/modules

[anathema415]

Well that didn't work either

If anyone has any suggestions please add them otherwise it's re-install time.

I did lsmod | grep snd on my install and get:

snd_hda_intel 344728 1
snd_pcm_oss 42144 0
snd_mixer_oss 17920 2 snd_pcm_oss

Is that anything that can help me?

well now you have sound drivers if a device shows up in

aplay -L

then you should be able to play sounds,

aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

if that doesnt make noise check to see if things are muted using

alsamixer

once alsa works its a mtter of getting gnome to play nice with alsa which is the job of pulseaudio or you can use alsa directly by selecting alsa in

System>Preferences>Sound>Devices

[anathema415]

aplay -l still can't find the card

hmmm this seems to be more complicated than what I did, but i have the same thing happen on hardy ... i just installed a restricted driver from Adept i was using kde at the time... but it mite work... not sure, but the problem you described in the first place sounded like what happened to me.

I don't understand. You installed a restricted driver then the sound stopped?

[drawhole]

No, sry i should have been more clear ....

i had this issuse happen a while ago i was using kde and after install my sound was not working ... not sure if it was a red x but not working ...


I installed the restricted drivers for it and it worked .... hmmm i was using my old Emachine at the time so 5 or 6 monthes ago.
