First can I say if I should post this question somewhere else, please accept my apologies and let me know where! I am running ubuntu 8.04 on an Intel DQ35MP motherboard which has built-in ICH9 (ALC268 I believe) HD audio chipset. The kernel is 2.6.24-17-server When I first installed the desktop version of Ubuntu (acually it was 7.10) the audio worked. I'm not sure exactly at which point it stopped working but it might have been when I re-installed with -server version. I have trawled the web and tried many things but I just cannot get the hda-intel driver to see the codec on my motherboard. alsa-info.sh captured details are at http://pastebin.ca/1021799 I have tried uninstalling and re-installing alsa using apt-get purge and apt-get install I have tried building and installing the packagae from realtek (but that's only alsa-project's latest stable build any way I think) I have downloaded built and installed the hot daily build from alsa-project.org <http://alsa-project.org> and still no luck. Currently running 1.0.16 built on 20080516: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/alsa-driver-hg20080516.tar.bz2 <ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/alsa-driver-hg20080516.tar.bz2> Additional info (Might already be in info capture) From demsg: [ 40.254047] ALSA /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu -modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/build/build-server/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1892: hda-intel: no codecs found! [ 40.254089] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1b.0 disabled From lspci -v 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 0013 Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 23 Memory at 922a0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0 I have also tried using varous MODEL= options to loading the module (5stack, 3stack, acer) I have not yet tried doing anything with the debug option because I don't know how to use it. Any help appreciated. Let me know if you need more information.
