[opensuse] Kernel update bug caused sound loss, probably
My 10.2 installation has lost its sound. When I attempt to reinstall the sound card via Yast, I get this message: The kernel module snd-via-82xx for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters including invalid I/O or IRQ parameters. I believe, though I'm not entirely sure of the timing, that this misbehavior started after I installed the latest kernel update. The output of uname is: Linux 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 And just for good measure, the output of lspci includes: 0:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) I posted about this on linuxquestions.org and found that someone had the same problem in the Fedora Core 6 distribution, which corroberates my suspicion of a slightly botched kernel update. Has anyone here seen a similar problem? And how can I report this bug without getting slapped down for not providing enough information?

The only lines that look as though they're relevant are: PCI quirk: region 4000-407f claimed by vt8235 PM PCI quirk: region 5000-500f claimed by vt8235 SMB ... pnp: 00:02: ioport range 0x4000-0x407f could not be reserved pnp: 00:02: ioport range 0x5000-0x500f has been reserved Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just updated ALSA from version 1.0.10 to version 1.0.13 and -- miracle of miracles -- my sound is working again! Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
