no sound hardy kernel 2.6.27.11-generic

[bonsiware]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic

updated from kernel 2.6.24-11 to 2.6.24-12 brakes all sound! boot with the previous kernel, sound works!

The kernel is unable to insert any correctly compiled and installed alsa driver module. As a result, sound controls says there's no device to configure!

any Ubuntu Hardy updated... Thanks

[Brian Curtis (bcurtiswx)]

same here, this should go to critical priority, its a BAD thing right now, causes a lot of other program on my machine to crash.

[Christian Schürer-Waldheim (quincunx)]

I can confirm this problem. Sound with kernel 2.6.24-11-generic works, but it doesn't work in kernel 2.6.24-12-generic any more.

dmesg gives the following error messages regarding the modules for the sound card:

[iobelisk (iobelix)]

hi, just wanted to add: same problem here. sound is pretty broke with 2.6.24.12, worked beautifully with *.11 though.

[NilsE (nekberg)]

Just updated from -11 to -12 and have the same problem.

[lod (altoas)]

my laptop is MSI ER710, and got no sound with 2.6.24-12, part of the dmesg:

[exploder (dcosner)]

I can confirm the bug also. VIA Vinal 97 sound will not work with the 2.6.24-12 kernel.

[Thomas Heidrich (gnuheidix)]

Same here. My soundblaster isn't noticed. Oddly it works when I switch back a kernel.

[Dana_r (danarea)]

Same here for upgrade from 2.6.24-11 to 2.6.24-12. I have the HDA Intel controller, which was also had a patch in the last recent alsa update.

There are massive diffs between the -11 .config and the -12 .config (see attached diff). Most notable, a big chunk of sound stuff is gone.

Same thing here...no sound with hda-intel (xfx 780i mobo)

[Jonas Thorell (jthorell)]

Bug report #200354 is also a duplicate (unfortunately filed by me). I can still boot into -11, but for some reason I have been unable to figure out dcopserver is broken when booting into the earlier kernel. That is, I either get sound or functional KDE 3.x apps but not both.

[Supreme1012 (bs101286)]

sound works when booting into -11. sound doesnt work at all when in -12. says problem with volume control gstreamer.

heres a link to my mobo if that info helps.

Hi Guys
Today, after a Manual re-install of 8.04 Beta from scratch,
it offered x164 Updates rather than Sunday's x52 Updates
and they must be better coded, because most of my problems
have vanished, so try a fresh install !
(The new MacSlow Analog clock is great.)

Is the fresh install really the solution? Could somebody confirm?

[Omar Abdel-Wahab (owahab)]

Got it to work!
I have upgraded to 8.04 since Alpha 1.
When I linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic was installed, sound stopped working. Tried so many ideas but none worked.
Bruce's comment (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/200338/comments/131) made me try this:
# apt-get remove --purge linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-12-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-12-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic
Apt couldn't rm -r the /lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic so I did:
# rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic
Then:
# apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-12-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-12-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic
# depmod -a
Reboot.
Sound works.

I've tried the solution proposed by Giovanni Mellini

Made new installation today, now with Ubuntu Studio 8.04 beta. Only thing left from previous installation was the home directory. RE-INSTALLATION MADE ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE!!!

THERE IS NO POINT KEEP ADDING TO THIS BUG.

This bug is fixed, and was a specific problem with a version of the kernel.
Any other sound problems belong in their own bugs, nobody will notice any
here as it is fixed.

[Bruce R (bm007a0030)]

Hi guys
Having exchanged some thoughts with others, it's all
probably down to the new kernel/hardware interface
I am using a Gigabye G31MX-S2 board/F4 BIOS
with Realtek HD sound, hosting an E2160 CPU,
probably the most critical elements for sound.
However I am still experiencing some Exaile/Kaffeine
conflict, which does not not happen with Ubuntu 7.10

[Riddic (jfeurich)]

This is probably obvious, but make sure you have the "restricted" module packages installed, i.e.
 'linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic'
 'linux-restricted-modules-common'
 'linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic'
 'linux-generic'
That should take care of pretty much everything.

[Joe Baldwin (joseph-baldwin)]

^agreed mine was missing the linux-ubuntu-modules 2.6.24-19 generic package. Installed and now everything is fine.

[leo (leofishman-gmail)]

I have the linux-ubuntu-modules 2.6.24-19 generic package and still doesn't work.
It did work with some previous modules like the linux-ubuntu-modules 2.6.24-16
but after the upgrade stoped working again.
May it be a conflict with VirtualBox?

[Arnaud Jeansen (ajeans)]

It seems that for some Dell hardware, snd-hda-intel.ko is modified to accomodate hsfmodem. This broke sound for me on an Inspiron 1525 for the Intel soundcard.

If you have the following file "/lib/modules/2.6.24-XX-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko.REPLACEDBYhsfmodem" AND suffer from this problem, go to the following page

http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Or_Kernel_Upgrade

This solved my sound problem on recent kernels.

[leo (leofishman-gmail)]

Hi Arnaud,

I don't have a dell computer neither that file renamed.
Now I use the 2.6.24.14 kernel and the sound works fine.
Maybe I should make a clean install, since I have upgrated form the 7.10

[Arnaud Jeansen (ajeans)]

@Leo: May I suggest the following?
- Authorize the hardy-proposed channel and install the 2.6.24.20 kernel and the related 2.6.24.20 modules. It will create a new module directory for this kernel (differnent from the .19 one). If your problem comes from something gone wrong when upgrading gutsy to hardy, this may solve your problem.
OR
- Download the Hardy Live CD, and boot on it to see if you get sound. If it does, a clean install is your best shot.

As for your previous comment, I have the virtualbox kernel module installed and it works for me.

Good luck.

[leo (leofishman-gmail)]

Upgraded to 24-20 and still the same...
I'll keep using the 24-14 for a few more days and then I'll make a fresh install.

Thanks a lot

The sound worked on a new installation of 8.04 - then crapped out immediately after Virtualbox ose-modules were installed. Still wrestling on the restoration of audio but it is definitely the Virtualbox module that caused the problem.

[anagor (anagor)]

ctrlbreak,
Have you tried uninstalling virtualbox modules to see if sound comes back?
If this is the case indeed, can you attach here the dmesg without the virtualbox modules, when the sound is working and with the virtualbox modules, when the sound isn't working?

[crtlbreak (hauptfleisch)]

apologies anagor for the delayed response - it has been a hellova week for me - the sound issue was way down on the agenda.
I have uninstalled the vitualbox-ose modules and after a reboot it has not solved the problem.

The sound does however return when I boot with "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic"
on grub boot options as opposed to the current "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-386" where the sound does not work. I have posted both dmesg as attachments

Now I know the short term fix to that one (just boot with the working kernel) but that is the sole reason yourself and most of us are registered users and take part in this whole exercise - we would not simply accept the temp fix as a final solution - we need to get to the bottom of it, right?

I have attached my dmesg - within the test file are two sections - NOSOUND and SOUNDWORKING
Regards
crtlbreak

[anagor (anagor)]

I can't say anything from the dmesg, since no sound/alsa drivers are loaded in kernel, only in userspace, but if I remember correctly the ubuntu kernels are all generic for some time now, so the 64bit and 386 should be the same.
Therefore the question is why do you need the 386 kernel?
And your issue is probably the alsa drivers failing because they think the aren't compatible with 386 kernel.

[Guillaume (guillaume-henin)]

This is not a bug for Dell Installs (and I think for other OEM installs). Maybe somebody should filter out comments reporting bug on OEM or modified installs (i.e. modules package not from ubuntu repos) and take in account only bugs occuring on pure ubuntu install.

On Dell Laptops, if you have modem support your modules comes from Dell ppa. If you want modem *and* sound working together you must stay with Dell ppa packages. Maybe you should stick the modules package version to Dell ppa repos.

As you can see, there is no Dell version of 2.6.24-24, so sound is broken when you update because you get package from ubuntu updates.

Remember : internal modems and sound chips are tied in hardware, so OEMs had to adapt sound modules to get modem working properly.
