Not strictly on the topic of the PCI BIOS BUG, but related to the muted volume problem:
I just upgraded alsa to 1.0.14 from source and managed to fix a number of problems: now sound is not muted at startup, so for example I can hear again the ubuntu song at login alsamixer now works and doesn't crash with that usual "snd_mixer_failed" error that many people get I can use the onboard microphone as well as external and line-in, and record with audacity or gnome sound recorder (well, this requires some tricks like killing esd for audacity to work and change some settings in alsamixer; also, audacity must point to OSS instead of ALSA) I personally encourage the audio team to backport the newer version of alsa (but I don't know if it's already stable or still rc) A curious fact is that now gnome volume manager sees two devices, HDA ATI SB (Alsa mixer) and Realtek ALC883 (OSS mixer), perhaps because I compiled with the option "--with-oss=yes" I remember having the same two devices listed in my previous Arch Linux 64 installation. -- PCI & hda_intel errors during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
