Sound problems after last kernel update
Hello list! After the update to kernel 2.6.5-7.111 (SuSE 9.1 Professional) I have problems with my sound hardware. After a reboot the soundcard is not accessible. When I remove the soundcard in YaST and readd it it works like before. There is no error in dmesg or /var/log/messages. The sound-hardware is 0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce3 Audio (rev a2) Subsystem: Holco Enterprise Co, Ltd/Shuttle Computer: Unknown device a550 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3 I/O ports at d400 I/O ports at d800 [size=128] Memory at e8001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Driver: snd_intel8x0 Any hint?

Hi Thomas, I had the same problem on my Shuttle SN85G4v2, the sound goes all crackly as if it is playing back a few bits per second!! the problem affects both 64bit and 32bit versions of 9.1. on mine the following seems to work: as root at runlevel 3: rcalsasound stop modprobe snd_intel8x0 this seems to fix the problem for multiple reboots until something upsets it such as a kernel update or ,strangely, creating a new user!! I don't know if anyone knows of a more permanent fix? Cheers Ed On Sun, 2004-10-24 at 09:50, Thomas Peuss wrote:

I have a SN85G4V2, too.
on mine the following seems to work:
as root at runlevel 3: rcalsasound stop modprobe snd_intel8x0
this seems to fix the problem for multiple reboots until something upsets it such as a kernel update or ,strangely, creating a new user!!

I will try this. It is faster than removing and adding the soundcard... CU Thomas

I found out what the problem is. I have a USB-Webcam attached which includes a microphone. The USB-stack is loaded before the ALSA-stack - which in turn loads a part of the ALSA-modules to support the microphone. So the SuSE start-script for ALSA thinks ALSA is already started - which is true minus the driver for my soundcard... ;-) So I unplugged my Webcam and everything works fine. CU Thomas
