I have struggled with this for almost two years now, and have finally concluded that this is a Gentoo problem. Lots of extra details in the forum post, but the basics: 1. This is NOT due to forgetting to unmute the mixer on not having myself in the audio group. 2. This happens on only one machine - a Compaq Evo D510 (USDT) - two of them, actually. I have put Gentoo on several other machines, and never seen this problem before. 3. There is no sound even booting from the Gentoo CD. 4. The sound works perfectly when I boot from live CDs of other distributions. 5. I get no error message when attempting to produce a sound at the console (but no sound either). 6. KDE3 shows no error message, but KDE4 does produce something like "The audio device Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981A is not working. Falling back to default." 7. I have tried the kernel alsa driver (both compiled in and as modules), and the separate alsa-driver. The device does get recognized (if compiled in) or the modules do get loaded (if not). 8. I have tried every kernel from 2.6.25 to 2.6.30.

Please reopen this bug report when you have provided information such as the lspci and other device related output for the sound device, and perhaps the kernel .config, dmesg output and anything else that can help us to see what is specifically going wrong. Don't forget to update the Summary of this bug report - it's way too generic right now.

Assigning to sound, maybe they have an idea.
Downstream views this bug as inactive/invalid. Is this still active?
No change here. Still unable to get sound working at all (only on this machine).
What is the status of this with an updated system and a newer kernel?
