Bug#357236: linux-image-2.6.16-rc5-686: no sound on Lifebook P2120
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-rc5-686
Version: 2.6.15+2.6.16-rc5-0experimental
Greetings,
The last time sound worked on my Fujitsu Lifebook P2120 was with 2.6.3
(or maybe 2.6.5, but not with 2.6.8 or anything since). An identical
ALSA setup worked with sarge under 2.6.3 but not 2.6.8. Tried running
alsaconf again to no avail. I can get ALSA working with 2.6.8 on all of
my other machines, and with 2.6.15 on all that I have tried.
Esd doesn't work, nor do system beeps, and GNOME volume control says no
volume control elements are found.
Now under etch (testing), even 2.6.3 no longer works: sounds played
through esd simply repeat the first second or so over and over again. I
keep upgrading the kernel, hoping that this time it will finally work,
but it hasn't in that long...
lsmod shows the following sound modules installed:
snd_ali5451 20172 1
snd_ac97_codec 82784 1 snd_ali5451
snd_ac97_bus 2048 1 snd_ac97_codec
soundcore 8672 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 9800 1 snd_pcm
lspci shows:
0000:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 01)
What other information would help to diagnose/fix this problem?
Thank you for providing this mechanism for testing and reporting on a
-rc kernel! I hope we can fix this before 2.6.16 is released.
-Adam
