I seem to be having a unique issue getting the sound to work on my laptop. Everywhere on the internet I see that people with this laptop have gotten the sound to work with no modifications. My problem is this: I install alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-driver either from the source on sourceforge or by emerging the packages (I run a Gentoo box) and I get atiixp: codec read timeout printed a bunch of times and it never seems to bind the module to /dev/mixer. I really need to find out what is causing this problem. It looks to me like some other process has reserved this resource and so snd-atiixp cannot bind itself to the device. Any help would be appreciated.
Notable things to mention are Flavor: Gentoo Linux Kernel: 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 (Though I have had the same problem with a bunch of different kernels 2.4 and 2.6) I am also running udev instead of the devfs in the kernel And, here comes a large dump of information about my configuration and the error I am getting: /etc/init.d/alsasound start (Essentially modprobing snd-atiixp) May 24 12:13:47 err ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver- 1.0.4/alsa-kernel/pci/atiixp.c:455: atiixp: codec read timeout ...Repeated lots of times May 24 12:13:49 err ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.4/alsa-kernel/pci/atiixp.c:455: atiixp: codec read timeout May 24 12:13:49 err ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver- 1.0.4/alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1759: AC'97 2 does not respond - RESET May 24 12:13:49 err ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver- 1.0.4/alsa-kernel/pci/atiixp.c:455: atiixp: codec read timeout May 24 12:13:49 err ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.4/alsa- kernel/pci/atiixp.c:455: atiixp: codec read timeout May 24 12:13:49 err ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.4/alsa- kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1767: AC'97 2 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer.
