Subject: "No soundcard"-problem after reboot on 1005HA without speakers
Hello
I have a Asus Eee PC 1005HA on which I run Jessie. The thing is that the
speakers have been physically removed and I am having trouble getting
audio to work via the headphone jack.
However, if I run
# apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
and then reinstall them both and reboot it works perfectly. If I go to
alsamixer I see HDA Intel, Chip: Realtek ALC269 and:
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf7db8000 irq 44
But when I reboot the computer again I'm back to square one and my
soundcard can't seem to be found.
$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition
Audio Controller (rev 02)
# alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
also if I open the gui pulse mixer no sound card is found.
# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
# alsactl init
alsactl: init:1758: No soundcards found...
# journalctl | grep snd
Aug 18 15:16:02 noether kernel: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 44 for
MSI/MSI-X
Aug 18 15:16:02 noether kernel: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: no codecs
found!
I can then purge and reinstall to make it work temporarily again which I
tried a number of times just to make sure that the behavior is
consistent.
How can I make alsa/pulse remember my card after purge/reinstall?
Regards
