Hi List, been chasing my tail for the last two hours and getting nowhere
on my wifes laptop.
I only do updates monthly on her machine, as it is safely behind
firewalls and only does email and browser stuff.
I have never had audio problems on this laptop, Centos just worked from
day one - even the wireless.
It appears that the 5.5 kernels and related audio driver snd-hda-intel
do not function.
If I reboot into 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.centos.plus all is well.
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0x80000000 irq 169
1 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1d.7-3, high
speed
Neither 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus or 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus
have functioning sound.
on these kernels I get
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1d.7-3, high
speed
yet lsmod shows

So I remembered the bug rh introduced with the 194 kernels and nvidia
chipsets (not my case but I'm desperate) and added the enable_msi=0 so
that my modprobe.conf is now
<snip>
options snd cards_limit=8
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0 enable_msi=0
but it still will not work.
<rant>
I am getting frustrated at the retrograde steps that seem to be hitting
kernel and 5.x upgrades lately.
yum update used to just work, get me the latest patches and all was well
- after all that is why I use Centos.
</rant>
I have tried modprobe -r to remove and reload module but to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I try next?
Google has not given me any ideas yet.
TIA
