Hello medwinz,

thanks for your tip. At a first glance just updating the alsa packages
did not improve anything. After some try and error activities I
finally had sound with the shipped kernel :-) Then I rebooted and
sound was gone again :-( After some more try and error I found out
that sound is not really gone after rebooting (I checked that from the
textconsole and speaker-test) but after starting KDE 4.2 (maybe also
after starting KDE 4.1???). To get sound back it is not sufficient to
restart alsa alone (via /etc/init.d/alsasound restart) but I also had
to change the model specified in /etc/modprobe.d/sound (e.g. between
'laptop', 'dell-m4-1' or 'dell-m4-2'). Finally, I had to adjust the
levels in the alsamixer to get sound working again.

I guess KDE 4.2 is messing up alsa somehow, I will further dig into
that direction ...

Ciao, Fabian
