Description LeDabe 2012-08-27 10:29:23 UTC

Since I've upgraded my kernel from 2.6 to 3.2*, I've no sound.
I've to unplug / re-plug my speakers to get the sound works.

I've tried different configurations without succes.

CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE=64
CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_JACK=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110 is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0132 is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054 is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDSP is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDSPM is not set


With or without CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_JACK=y, I've the same problem.

Upgraded to 3.4.9, same problem

in alsamixer, all is OK, none is muted.
I use pulse audio.

Thanks

Can you please describe your setup? 

Which jack do you replug? 

Do you use usb speakers (soundcard in the speaker) or 
do you re-plug an headphone jack on passive speakers?

Can you please provide the usb id and brand name (lsusb from sys-apps/usbutils) if any usb involved?

I re-plug passive speakers jack.

USB speakers not involved.

So I guess the modules are loaded but the sound output isn't automatically switched on? Does it help to run alsamixer and manually enable/unmute headphone output?

you're right with headphone output.
By default, it was unmuted.
when mutting, front and master was muted too.
Unmutting all doesn't switch the sound on;
I've had to adjust all to get the sound on.

I'll try to reboot to tell if it still work or not.

So it would appear to be a matter of local configuration.
