Hi folks, I haven't been able to get my snd hda intel driver to work consistently on my new laptop; check the alsa-users list for my previous posts (and they directed me here). My setup: 1. alsa-utils-1.0.13, alsa-driver-1.0.13; alsa-lib-1.0.13; alsa-headers-1.0.13. (Although, I get the same problems with alsa-*-1.0.11 which is Gentoo's default.) 2. Gentoo linux. (I'm using the gentoo packages, but I get the same results compiling from scratch.) 3. Kernel: linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 Issue: Sound will sometimes work, and sometimes not work, although my programs don't give an error message, i.e., it acts like it is playing, but no sound comes out. When sound doesn't work (on certain bootups), if I run "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" (which essentially unloads/loads the snd-hda-intel etc modules) a random number (between 3 and 8 usually) of times, sound starts working. In cases where sound IS working, my alsamixer lists only Master; in cases where sound is not working, I get 4 settings (Master, Caller I, Off-Hook, SPDIF). (Note: With 1.0.11, in the NOT WORKING alsamixer has Master and SPDIF, Caller I and Off-Hook are only in 1.0.13, so I don't suspect they are at issue.)
