Public bug reported: I have Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H motherboard with AMD SB600 sound bridge chipset. (I have bought it just a year ago and it was brand-new at the time.)
After installing Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27-7 generic, Gnome 2.24.1) from live CD for the first time I had no sound at all. After reinstalling it for a few times I have finally managed to get sound, but in few days it suddenly (even without reloading computer!) disappeared again. Trying to identify the problem as discribed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting, I have found out that Ubuntu 8.10 stubbonly thinks that it should use snd-hda-intel kernel modul for ATI Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller! This is an extract from the output from lspci -v | less command: 01:05.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device 7919 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19 Memory at fdffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel The output from aplay -l command was: **** Litst of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** Card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], Device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], Device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], Device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 At the moment I am going to put the snd-atiixp line into /etc/modules file but I do not know the result of this operation yet. :) P.S. With Ubuntu 9.04 everything was even worse because it could not control my integrated in the AMD 690G north bridge chipset ATI Radeon X1250 video card in the first place: the terminal blinked at the random intervals of time. :( ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Autodetect does not use the right sound module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
