Hi,
I'm getting quite desperate. My soundcard is a SiS onboard AC'97 as lshw
shows:
description: Multimedia audio controller
product: AC'97 Sound Controller
vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
physical id: 2.7
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:02.7
version: a0
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=Intel ICH latency=32 maxlatency=11
mingnt=52 module=snd_intel8x0
Until 9 August, everything worked perfectly. Then I went on holiday, and
yesterday I turned on my pc again. And I have no sound. Applications
work *like* they output sound, but nothing comes.
alsamixer shows that the master channel has no gauge -that is, it is not
mute, but on top of it there is no volume bar whatsoever, and arrows do
not raise one.
I remember I had the same issue time ago with alsa-libs 1.0.11, and I
had to downgrade to 1.0.10. So I thought something was broken again. I
downgraded from 1.0.14 to 1.0.13, but nothing happened.
I tried upgrading my kernel from 2.6.18 to 2.6.22. Nothing.
I tried compiling ALSA as a kernel module, instead of built into the
kernel as usual. Nothing.
I *could* try portage alsa-drivers, but the card has always worked with
in-kernel drivers, so I don't understand why shouldn't more be the case.
Any hint?
m.
