I run the Linus live-git kernels so have been running the 2.6.37 series |
10 |
for some time now, and in fact am running 2.6.37 itself, ATM. I don't use |
11 |
kernel modules here as I build everything in, but my sound (AMD 8xxx |
12 |
chipset, i810/ac97 alsa driver) is working and has been thru the whole |
13 |
cycle. I don't believe it'd have been released with a lot of people not |
14 |
having sound, tho there might have conceivably been one or two reports in- |
15 |
progress. |

The hda driver still gets a lot of work each cycle, so it's reasonably |
18 |
possible it could fail (tho I imagine a lot of folks have it too, so it |
19 |
gets a lot of testing), but that it's happening with another driver too, |
20 |
suggests that you might have a different issue. Are the devices actually |
21 |
showing up in /dev/? Assuming you use udev, maybe it's the problem? If |
22 |
you run them as modules not built-in, are the alsa kernel modules |
23 |
themselves actually loading? |
24 |
|
25 |
FWIW, udev-164-r1 and alsa-utils-1.0.23-r1, here (~amd64). |
