Hello, I have a real strange problem. I don't get my sound working. My system is a Acer Aspice 5102 WLMi with: Debian Etch 2.6.18 Kernel Alsa: 1.0.13 lspci | grep -i audio returns: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01) (Acer description: Realtek High Definition Audio) On boot I get many error messages of this: hdc_codec: Invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff and after that a few of this: hdc_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0xd And now the real strange thing: If I purge alsa-base, alsa-utils, linux-sound-base and lsof everything works fine after the first reboot. But only then: from the second boot it just don't works anymore. And even more strange: aplay can play wav files everytimes. On the first time i start it after booting there is following warning: hda-intel: invalid position buffer, using LPIB instead cat /proc/modules | cut -f1 -d " " | sort > modules.new;diff modules.new modules.old don't gives any changes between the loaded modules. I've tried the 2.6.19rc2 kernel already, tried to compile Alsa-Driver, Alsa-Lib and Alsa-Utils for myself but nothing works. I've read the doc for the ATI-IXP southbridge HD-audio and modem and some other manuals and followed the instructions but nothing solved my problem. There was even the suggestion for a bios-update. I've done it. Of course it was unneccessary... I have recognized that there is an error before the hda_codec-error: unknown model for alc833 and then a timeout... but i still have no ideas :( Can anyone help me, please?
