Hi,
Slackware 12.2.0, the hardware was recently upgraded, formerly it has a Sound Blaster Live! using the emu10k1.o module, this never presented any problems.
I upgraded everything in the computer and removed the sound card, now I'm using the integrated "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller", this uses the snd_hda_intel.o module.
1) I set default runlevel 3.
2) I physically upgraded the hardware.
3) I booted into runlevel 3 on the standard, huge-smp kernel.
4) I recompiled the 2.6.30 kernel specifically for the hardware in this computer.
5) Updated the latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
6) Rebooted into runlevel 4, with the new 2.6.30 kernel.
7) The sound was not working, so I executed alsaconf and all was fine.
However, while alsaconf managed to get the sound working, it didn't work upon a consecutive reboot.
alsaconf restore gives me:
x86_1# alsactl restore
No state is present for card Intel
/etc/rc.d/rc.alsa gives me:
x86_1# /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa
Loading ALSA mixer settings: /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
No state is present for card Intel
I've read through the ALSA Howto.
I've tried to strace alsactl to see if there is something I can figure out.
I've searched various Internet search engines for similar and identical errors.
I've throughly checked volume levels and muted channels (although the failure of alsactl indicates a deeper underlying issue).
I've tried to strace e.g. XMMS to see if it gives me any clue.
All to no avail.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. :-)
