 In the 2.6.28 kernel alsa is broken for hda-intel. Either use 2.6.27 series

Works for me.  In fact, I've never alsa, mixers, and sound working
better than in 2.6.28...

I have this card:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 02)
which has the pci id 8086:284b

 Guess it's only broken for certain cards then?

I notice there are more options for the type of hda-intel card now, so
you may need to tweak that.  It took me a few goes to figure out I
needed the IDT/Sigmatel sub-type for the Dell/Intel chipset.

I wasn't recommending that we make the links for them, only provide them
with the tools to do so if they want to take the gamble (or the gambol).

[gentoo-user] ALSA config problem

2009-02-09 Thread James
 Quandry:

(2) ALSA drivers exist. No matter what kernel choices I make
I either get 2 different ALSA devices, or none.

The mobo has an Nvidia chip, the video card has a ATI video chip,
both only work under the Intel HDA driver. These are compiled
into the kernel, not loadable modules. I'm going bald googling
trying to find out what to do, or how to fix?


from dmesg:

No sound. Kmix has a red X over it on my kde panel.
There are no choices there in Kmix to select on.
HOW do I set this up?   udev, hal, or evdev configs?


Ideas?
