What happens when you: # depmod # modprobe -v snd_hda_intel snd_seqWell, actually that works with speaker-test. *BUT*, I'm not holding my breath. I've had it this far before and couldn't reproduce it again. Let me reboot and try again before I pronounce it 'fixed'.Well, no, but more information: install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-hda-intel snd_seq && /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-hda-intel insmod /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko snd_seq FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error running install command for snd_hda_intel And from dmesg: [ 362.587129] snd_hda_intel: Unknown parameter `snd_seq' I will try it without the snd_seq.Still no luck without the snd_seq or even putting snd_seq in a separate modprobe: modprobe -v snd_seq modprobe -v snd-hda-intelSo the depmod/modprobe worked, but then you rebooted and now it doesn't work????That is correct. That is three times, through some series of events, that I have managed to get sound out of it. Rebooted and tried to reproduce the sequence and was not able to reproduce it. --I wonder if you have some sort of codec conflict going on here. Try adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, and rebooting.options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
Done.
That will just select the first codec, which should be the one for your soundcard, if there are more than one codec in the equation.If that doesn't work, and the next time you get the sounds up and running, post back the output of the following stuff.cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/version grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*If the probe_mask option does work, post back the output of the above stuff as well, as it may be helpfull in getting a solution to the problem.All the best. Nigel.
Will do Nigel. I have setup a script in rc.local as well as a shell script to run if/when I ever get it making sounds again:
