Re: [gentoo-user] ALSA: All modules loaded, mixer unmuted, still no sound

[Ducky Z.]

Hello,

Here are some more interesting output from dmesg while I was trying to
play a sound file.

PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1e.2 to 64
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 50457 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1e.2 disabled
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1e.2[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 10 (level,
low) -> IRQ 10

Thanks.
