Re: new problem with sound
Lubos,
lv> is that a card using snd-intel-hda?
No.
According to investigations described in the
previous half dozen or so messages, the C-Media
USB sound adapter invokes snd-usb-audio and
snd-hda-intel.
The on-board device invokes snd-intel8x0.
Sound input _via_ the C-Media adapter failed
months ago at the time of the upgrade from
etch to lenny, as I recall.
Sound input _via_ the on-board hardware and
snd-intel8x0 failed just a few days ago, 2008-08-11.
I've reinstalled the alsa related packages
including xfce4-mixer-alsa to no avail.
I've also just made a test user account to
see what happens there.
test@dalton:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [default ]: USB-Audio - C-Media USB Headphone Set
C-Media USB Headphone Set at usb-0000:00:1f.2-2, full sp
eed
1 [I82801BAICH2 ]: ICH - Intel 82801BA-ICH2
Intel 82801BA-ICH2 with AD1885 at irq 17
test@dalton:~$
Whereas if test is logged into my Skype account,
the only sound device visible is default. The
sound devices do not exist for Skype!
This all seems very perverse.
lv> personally, i've given up.
Understandable! The only practical
solution I see now is to revert to Etch.
Thanks for your reply, ... Peter E.
