module: snd-intel8x0 stopped working

Korix · 05-07-2004, 04:50 AM

On my laptop, sound formerly worked through ALSA on the snd-intel8x0 drivers. The sound just recently stopped working after I ran Ndiswrapper to install drivers for my wireless networking card. Now sound doesn't play and it seemed the module (snd-intel8x0) was deleted. I reinstalled ALSA and in programs, it says the sound is playing. However, no sound is emitted through the speakers. Any ideas on how to get my sound working again? Thanks.

Did you set the mixer volumes and unmute them with alsamixer??? Does lsmod show snd-intex8x0 module being used?

When I run the lsmod command, it shows that the snd-intel8x0 module is being used.

However, when i run alsaconf to check the settings, it's returning:

> # alsamixer
No mixer elems found

So, I tried to reinstall the ALSA Utilities and there was an error installing it:

Actually, nevermind. I got it to work.

When I used: # alsaconf it was setting the sound card to snd-intel8x0m and previously when my sound was working, it was using snd-intel8x0. I reinstalled the latest alsa drivers, libs, utils, and oss. Then I manually changed /etc/modules.conf for the settings that I wanted.

Now the sound works and I can configure the sound with alsamixer

Thanks for your help.
