Bug#708513: firmware-linux-nonfree: Version 0.38 of firmware-linux-nonfree breaks snd intel

Hi Ben,

It's seems upon gathering my debug info the sound worked just fine with 0.38, I'm not sure what happened but it seems fine now. Certainly wasn't last night when I lodged this bug report, Gremlins in my laptop maybe ^^; This can probably be closed sorry for the trouble! Any ideas on what happened would be nice I have no clue...

I don't understand this - there have been no changes to audio device
firmware between these versions.

I did add some new Radeon microcode, though. Are you using an A/V
amplifier that's connected to an HDMI output? Other than that, I can't
see why this would occur.

Can you also provide the output of 'dmesg | grep firmware' from after
you boot with each version of the firmware package?

Ben.
