Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26 Distribution: Debian Hardware Environment: AMD64 Software Environment: KDE Problem Description: Beginning with 2.6.26, the integrated sound card in my Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H doesn't work. With 2.6.25, KMix lists two sound card options: HDA ATI SB and HDA ATI HDMI. In 2.6.26 it only lists HDA ATI HDMI. All packages are current Debian Testing. Specifically: alsa-base 1.0.17.dfsg-2 ALSA driver configuration files alsa-utils 1.0.16-2 ALSA utilities I can reproduce the problem with Debian Kernels 2.6.26-4 and 2.6.27~rc6-1~experimental.1~snapshot.12226. When I boot back into Debian kernel 2.6.25-7 the sound works again. This bug has been reported downstream with Debian Bug 499227 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499227) Steps to reproduce:
This also applies to the ES1988 Allegro-1, sound on my laptop with integrated ES1988 stopped working since 2.6.24. I have had to revert to 2.6.22 for the sound to work again. It is an Asus L8400. regards Robert G. Moonen
This bug is fixed for me with the Debian Kernel 2.6.29-1 (linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64, currently in unstable).
