I got my new computer about a month ago. It uses the snd-hda-intel ALSA |
| 2 |
driver. I fought with it for a week or two and finally got it working |
| 3 |
with alsa-driver (it wouldn't work when I attempted to compile ALSA |
| 4 |
support for the card into the kernel.) Yesterday it just kind of |
| 5 |
stopped. I've just rebuild kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 (removing SMP |
| 6 |
support - someone told me last time that it might cause a problem) and |
| 7 |
before I rebuilt the kernel I removed all the old modules |
| 8 |
from /lib/modules for this kernel. I remerged alsa-driver. I try to |
| 9 |
start /etc/init.d/alsamixer and I hear the little <click/pop> sound out |
| 10 |
of my speakers that tells me that Gentoo has activated my sound card. I |
| 11 |
try to run alsamixer to unmute the card, but I get an error: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound start |
| 14 |

| 18 |

| 19 |
[ ok ]camille ~ # alsamixer |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The funny thing is that when I reload gnome-panel (killall gnome-panel) |
| 24 |
I have a volume control applet there. It's muted, but I slide the |
| 25 |
volume bar up. On File->Change Device (in the volume control applet) it |
| 26 |
claims to be using Realtek ALC880 (OSS Mixer), but I can't hear any |
| 27 |
sound from any of my other applications (including by selecting the OSS |
| 28 |
Mixer in xmms.) After I turn the volume up in the volume control applet |
| 29 |
if I go back to my terminal and try to run alsamixer again I get the |
| 30 |
same stupid error message, and if I restart /etc/init.d/alsasound I get |
| 31 |
this: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart |
| 34 |

I have an /etc/asound.state backed up. When I restore it and |
| 49 |
restart /etc/init.d/alsasound I get this: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart |
| 52 |

| 67 |
Any thoughts on how to get my sound back, or why it just quit in the |
| 68 |
first place? |
