sound problem

Post by fitpcuser »

After updating linux kernel to the latest version offered by fitpc there is no sound anymore. I'm using Linux Mint 9 and sound worked on this fitpc2 before update.

alsa seems to know the device (sudo alsamixer lets me modify volume), but pulseaudio shows no available device (gnome-volume-control).

more detailed information (dmesg):
...
Linux version 2.6.35-34-fitpc2
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-34-fitpc2 root=UUID=XXXXXX ro profile
CPU0: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z530 @ 1.60GHz stepping 02
HDA Intel XXXXXX PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
hda_codec: ALC262: BIOS auto-probing.
...

loaded kernel modules (modprobe -l):
...
kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko
kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-realtek.ko
kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-idt.ko
kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-cirrus.ko
kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-ca0110.ko
kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

Should I reconfigure some part of the sound-system? Or is there something else I could try?

I solved the problem.

I added my user to the audio group (gid 29), then it worked. Don't know why it changed ...

Code: Select all

sudo usermod -a -G audio $USER 
This will add $USER to the "audo" group.
