Subject: intel8x0 sound of silence on dell system

Hello all,

On trying out head on my workstation, it seems that no sound comes out.
The module is getting loaded and the interrupts line for the 'Intel ICH5'
is increasing. The RHEL 4 kernel is known to work on this machine. The
only output from the driver is below. Any ideas?

Probably the sound car is muted. you might want to try out the
alsamixer to unmute the card.

No, like I said, booting the RHEL4 kernel works like a charm. alsamixer
does not show it being muted.

Sometimes, mine would get in the same state, but on a laptop.

You can try adding buggy_irq=1, buggy_semaphore=1 or both to your
modprobe.conf file, and see if any of those help. It did in my case.

Doesn't seem to have an effect here.

Sorry, but it isn't muted. I'm not a newbie. ;-)

What do you mean "head"? Kernel version please.

ALSA bug reports should go to [email protected] or
(ideally) in the ALSA bug tracker,
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/main_page.php

What ALSA version is used on RHEL4 kernel?

Also, please add the contents of
/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files, and the saved file after running
alsactl -f somefile store
in your bugreport.


thanks,
