 I know, most of us only have 2 ears... (Yes it's in the right socket

 Very true :-)

 With all this high definition audio interfaces around us, we almost have 
 forgotten how it sounded the old cassette tapes and how happy we were 
 with that crusty sound.
  
 I would start for the easiest thing, that is, edit /etc/modprobe/alsa-
 base.conf and add to the bottom:

 options snd-hda-intel model=asus
 I have tried a few of these but as I can mute and unmute the mic I
 thought I'd be closer than that, I can see all of the other channels in
 alsamixer, under gnome I can even switch between the SB and HDMI cards.

 Then reload the alsa module to apply the changes.

 (available model= values can be retrieved from /usr/share/doc/alsa-
 base/driver/HDA-Audio-Models.txt.gz so you can test with many options,
 like 6stack-digout, asus-dig2, etc...).
 Ok, in all of my playing with linux I haven't had to do much with
 modules (probubly just lucky) I tried root@gemini:~# modprobe -rv
 snd_hda_intel  modprobe -v snd_hda_intel FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel
 is in use.

 How to make the module not in use? I don't have any sound applications
 open, I also tried unloading the snd module with the same mesage.
 Realoading the alsa module makes only sense if you modified something in 
 your /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf so the changes can be applied ;-)

 Anyway, you can try with alsa reload, instead.

 Greetings,

Sorry to have hijacked this thread days later, but I basically have the
same issue and I can't work where I messed my sound up. I tried
reinstalling alsa-base but no sound.

I've got one of the SB EMU10K1X driver which just stopped working when I
upgraded my system to wheezy. I'm not sure what more information I need
to provide but when I do alsa reload I get this warning ;

I changed the sound file in /etc/modprobe.d to sound.conf. That file has
got this;
 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
 alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1

I'm on kernel 2.6.38. Would this be an issue? I'm not too sure what I
might have messed with but I desperately tried fixing this but I'm not
sure if I didn't cause the damage myself as I am on a tight time
constraint and just need my sound back.

I've also tried the Real-linux-audiopack-5.16 option suggested at
http://wiki.debian.org/ALSA but to no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 Disable kerneloops and you're done.

 I think kerneloops cannot guess your online connection status, so it
 first asks the user if he/she wants to send the report.

 Yes. But you can still use Debian bug tracking system and report there.
 It's a user's choice.

 How does the automation work?

 If you have kerneloops package installed and daemon is running, whenever
 an oops occurs in your system, a window pop-ups and invites you to send
 the report (automagically generated) to their site:

 http://www.kerneloops.org/

 Other projects provide their own automated tools, like GNOME's bug-buddy.

 There are others:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_reporter

 Greetings,

Yes, I've reported kernel oopses before but I must say the fact that
the reporter prompted me increased that likelihood a great deal. I
don't mind automated pop-ups from my most frequently used packages if
most of them would have more of those(for major crashes) but hey am
not complaining, I report manually every so often.

I've noted bug-buddy.

Thanks.

 I think you may have missed some of his emails.  A good few people have 
 suggested he should search various places or Google things, but he takes no

 too much trouble (I think he has/had to reboot a dual boot to get into
