Inspiron 8200 Alsa Problems

[Matthew Guenther <guentherm@asme.org>]

Hi,

I have recently run into a problem with alsa on my Dell Inspiron 8200. 
It has an intel 810 sound system which was working fine under alsa with 
my self-compiled 2.6.5 kernel.  However when I upgraded to a newer 2.6.7 
kernel the sound stopped working.  I did not change my .config between 
versions and the appropriate modules are being built, however the sound 
card is no longer detected.

Looking through the kernel and alsa documentation did not turn up 
anything, nor have any similar problem reports shown up in google.  I 
have tried everything I can think of including configuration changes, 
updating alsa libraries and modutils changes but nothing has worked. 
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on or suggestions for 
further information?

Thanks,

MBG
