Hi,
It has been several years (literally) since I have had major sound problems
under Linux, since sound support has gotten much better. However, my sound
recently stopped working, and I'm mystified. I'm using an HP Pavilion
dv9700, which I believe uses an Intel HD audio card. I've gone through
a few
kernel upgrades on this machine recently, but support for these cards
is
enabled, so I can't imagine that's the issue. My sound card isn't listed on
inspection of /proc/asound/cards and /dev/dsp is missing, though with the
deprecation of OSS maybe this isn't even an issue. I'm pretty familiar with
Linux, but not so much with sound cards, so I'm not really sure where to
begin in resolving this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Emerson,
It sounds like you have a kernel issue. Do you remember when the sound
stopped working? If you do, and you have multiple kernels installed, I
would try booting the system with an earlier kernel
(Command line: rpm -qa --last kernel ).
See if that fixes the sound issue. Good luck,, and let us know (or
file a bug in bugzilla under "kernel")
