[ICH - Intel 82801CA-ICH3] ALSA test tone not correctly played back

[f3a97]

Hi,

Basically, with Lucid LTS I cannot hear any sound.

The interesting fact is that with beta releases sound were working great, without any intervention.

Suddenly, after an upgrade that happened somewhere between one and two weeks ago, I lost every sound.

In order to test if my beta installation had something not correctly setup, I just tried booting with the lucid live CD: I still had no sound.

So this is probably a regression due to some recent upgrade!

One more note. If I go to the GNOME sound preferences and I change connector from Amplifier to No Amplifier, I can hear some sounds, but the volume is very low and if I raise it, it starts to get crappy, with a great noise.

Thanks!

Hi,
this one solved my problem:
go in the mixer
click on "Select Controls" and mark everything
close and put volume to max in all parameters
go to "switches" and disable everything
this was my solution when i had the same problem

please provide the output of alsa-info.sh for no sound and with sound

take a diff of these two outputs
