Description Michal Augustyniak 2009-12-18 18:15:40 UTC
After kernel upgrade from gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 to gentoo-sources-2.6.32 alsa stop working

alsamixer message is:

"This sound device does not have any playback controls"

I've re-emerged:

media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.21a
media-sound/alsa-driver-9999
media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.21-r1

and ran:
update-modules
alsaconf

All modules loaded correctly:

On boot I get additional messages I believe after run update-modueles cannot confirm that now, and messages are:

Switching back to gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 works just fine


Is it a bug or I am missing something


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2009-12-18 18:26:22 UTC
update-modules shouldn't be really necessary.
Did you find anything interesting in /proc/asound ?

My bad!! 

I have submitted accidentally a duplicate of this ticket http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297455

I have closed 297455 now.

Please continue solving the issue HERE

Thank You  
Comment 5 Rafał Mużyło 2009-12-18 20:30:17 UTC
On unrelated note: you may want to add snd_hrtimer.

Well, playback and capture entries are missing.
Are you sure correct HDA submodule gets loaded ?
Perhaps new one was added and is messing up old load order.

How would I check that ?
Comment 7 Rafał Mużyło 2009-12-18 22:06:15 UTC
Well, for the moment the simplest way seem to be
by comparing /proc/asound content when it's working
and when it's not.

yeah, there is no PCM playback and capture

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
Compiled on Nov 14 2009 for kernel 2.6.31-gentoo-r5 (SMP).


Also in /proc/asound/Intel three pcm.. folders exist
# ls
codec#0  id  pcm0c  pcm0p  pcm1p

there is no pcm folders on not working version.

So though its something with the kernel so I enabled 

---Advanced Linux Sound Architecture I should not needed bu during compiling kernel gave me a warnings:

I will reboot anyway so post that just FYI

above did not work but I solved it now.

Well, because gentoo wants to go away from alsa-driver package anyway, they will stop support it soon, so it was good idea to give it shot build in alsa into kernel.

So what I did is uninstall alsa-driver package, then remove stuff from rm -rf /lib/modules/kernel/alsa-driver and follow the site http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml to enable driver from the kernel

All works just fine now

Thank you for your support.
