Description Peter Gustafson 2006-07-03 08:42:03 UTC
Hi, just want to let you know I had to downgrade to alsa-utils-1.0.10 in order to get snd_intel8x0 to work.  There was another with the same experience in the forums (and many seemingly unsolved posts with the same module), and I felt it deserved a bug report.  This occurred with all kernel versions I tried, and all three common alsa setup methods (in kernel, modules, alsa-drivers).

My forum and a few others that appear related are here:

I can't find the original one which suggested the downgrade.

Please open a new bug describing the problem, don't simply rely to forum posts.
Also, please provide information like which kind of alsa driver are you using, in-kernel or alsa-driver, and you need to reproduce the problem with gentoo-sources, rather than suspend2-sources.
Comment 2 Dmitri Pogosian 2006-07-10 14:38:46 UTC
Although I hope this bug will be reopened, 
let me add that I have the same experience with alsa-1.0.11 and intel8x0.
I could not make alsa-driver-1.0.11 to work. No sound at all, although all modules load fine and all controls seems reacting OK.

I know that there was a change with dmix between 1.0.10 and 1.0.11, where
in the latter it is supposed to work 'out of the box'. So I have removed my /etc/asound.conf
out of the way, but no help.

Just downgrading to 1.0.10 returns the sound. I have tried it both with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7 and 2.6.16-r9 (amd64 platform)
