I have a Thinkpad T410 where, after I installed Gentoo on it, everything "just |
| 2 |
worked (TM)". The sound is via the bog-standard Intel chips on the mobo and |
| 3 |
uses the hda_intel drivers. I didn't use the TP for a long time, just |
| 4 |
periodically updating Gentoo, but when I eventually did try to use it the |
| 5 |
sound was muted. This means I shut down the X server to remove complications |
| 6 |
from the desktop and from the console aplay doesn't produce any sound. |
| 7 |
Everything looks normal, driver modules loaded, alsamixer shows the usual |
| 8 |
output, channels all active. I booted to a windows partition and the sound |
| 9 |
works, so the hardware is OK. The very weird thing is if I put the TP to sleep |
| 10 |
with acpitool and wake it up again, the sound works for about 60 seconds and |
| 11 |
then dies. There is nothing in the message log at all when this happens. I |
| 12 |
upgraded the kernel but that didn't help. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This problem has been dragging on for some years and I am contemplating a |
| 15 |
complete re-install from scratch. But before I do that does anyone have any |
| 16 |
idea what I could try? |
