[Sp!J3T (stcachouk)]

I think this is because of Karmic's audiosystem, especially new PulseAudio.

[GrumpyPiano (grumpypiano)]

I believe you are right Sp!J3T. I was experiencing this bug on my eeepc901.
I am using jaunty, and I had upgraded to the kernel 2.6.30.4(http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline) and also pulseaudio(1:0.9.17-0ubuntu1). This caused ALSA to stop working..
So I think there's some conflict between the snd-hda-intel module and the newer pulseaudio.

By the way, I solved this by downgrading to jauntys pulseaudio.

[max (mikhmv)]

some workaround:
I added "options snd_hda_intel model=laptop" to the end of
"/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf"

After each reboot execute:
killall pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload

If problem with microphone:
install some alsamixer and adjust microphone
In my case microphone didn't work before adjustments....

[Sp!J3T (stcachouk)]

Tryed it, no results.
Most interesting thing is: tvtime (i use it for my tuner, mythtv doesn't works for me) see tuner unconfigured, i.e.: like params are: card=0; but my params are: card=120 (78), tuner=44.

[max (mikhmv)]

after clear installation of karmic sound work!!!!

[montevjl (montevjl)]

I don't know where to start anymore...
I had 8.10, then 9.04 and sound worked (mind you ... a few problems, ran OSS time to time...).
Now it is a real disaster. No sound whatsoever and my Pulse audio seems (??) to be properly configured. Device is recognized at boot, drivers seems (???) loaded but no sound whatsoever. If I open the sound applet, everything seems alright (that is output, input, sound level, ...° but.. there is no sound-device shown!

I don't know what to reverse anymore, I updated Pulse (also from bqckports), put things back to Canonical Maintained. Nothing,

Off course, every utility, sw, ... plays beautifully everything, including Skype, ... but no sound out of speakers.

Conf : HDA Intel Sound Card

I read a bit on bugs and todos but don't see what I should do anymore, except format and restart... and then end up in the same situation. I forgot... I have 4 pcs in the same ugly situation, a Toshiba laptop, a PackardB oldie desktop, a Medion (clumsy computer ;) ) , and a Dell tower. So I guess... that the issue is not hw related.

Anyone has a clue, and what should I report exactly?
Tks

[gpk (gpk-kochanski)]

My sound also worked after I installed Karmic from scratch, rather than working with a distribution that was upgraded from 9.04. I have since had no problems.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi gpk,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p alsa-base 421250

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
