no sound with kernel 2.6.27-11 and audigy2 zs

[Filtatos]

When I update to the last kernel 2.6.27-11 with my Ubuntu 8.10 I stop having sound from my audigy 2 zs card.
I never had problem with sound before and when I boot with kernel 2.6.27-10 sound works again.

I run the alsa-info script and the informations are here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=81bbf2bcec446031a0ae8ad01f5ac86cf513102d

just to confirm the same problem with the last kernel 2.6.27-11 and an audigy 2 ZS

Hi,
I recently experienced the same "bug" when updating the kernel on my gentoo-box. I traced the problem to the official kernel patch 2.6.27.9 (your -11-version seems to be ubuntu-specific, since 2.6.27.11 doesn't exist on kernel.org) found here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.27.9.bz2
The driver for the audigy sound card (emu10k1) was updated, they swapped the digital-analog switch of the volume control.

To address this, start "alsamixer" in a console-window. Go to the "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack"-item and make sure it is set to "MM" (mute). The switch can be triggered using the "m"-key. Hit Escape to store the settings.

You might also find this switch in the Gnome Sound Settings.

ok, it was right that, thanks

[Filtatos (filtatos)]

Yes, that solved the problem.

[Ernesto Gutierrez (ernesto-g3)]

I can confirm as well. The fix here solves the problem. Thanks!

[Michael Kogan (michael-kogan)]

The problem still appears on Jaunty (alpha3), the fix solves it. Please fix it till beta!

[stooka (smr13)]

Just wanted to verify this bug and fix. Thanks for the help. Please fix soon!

[phr0ze (pcgenius)]

Why is this marked as fixed? There is a work around but I don't know of any progress to default the digital out to mute.

[Olaf Maurer (gurke)]

I really have no idea why this has status "fix committed". I just upgraded to from intrepid to jaunty and this one is still open. The workaround helped, btw.

[Michael Kogan (michael-kogan)]

I think, it is fixed by now (at least the latest Natty daily build seems to be fine).

Filtatos, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
