snd-intel8x0 module and sound problems
Hi, I am running SuSE linux 9.1 on IBM Thinkpad T42p which I have updated to kernel to 2.6.11.11 (from the KOTD source rpm). I noticed that sound no longer works. I googled a lot to find out a solution and eventually found that if I unloading and reloading the module makes the sound work. rmmod snd_intel8x0 modprobe snd_intel8x0 I also noticed that I have to keep the following two muted in the kmix (or in alsamixer). Headphone Jack Sense Line Jack Sense As long as *both* of the above settings are muted, sound works fine. If I unmute any of these two; sound stops working. By sound stops working, I mean that mplayer, amarok etc. play songs just fine as if sound is working fine; however I do not hear any sound from the speaker. Any idea what is the problem? Thanks, -- Osho

You might want to try adding your sound module to your initrd modules in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. I noticed in 9.2 when I updated to a 2.6.11 based kernel that the alsasound script would not start as it had a test to look for the module, which was loaded, so it did not initialize sound or restore mixer settings (until I modified the script). I noted when I upgraded to 9.3, my sound module was added to my initrd modules by the install, and it is working great here. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
