No sound after upgrade to kernel 2.6.25 [solved]

haimat

Hi all,

I have updated my gentoo-sources from 2.6.22 to 2.6.25-r1. Now I have no alsa sound anymore. After booting into the new kernel the startup scripts went fine until the alsa lines are reached. There it said something like "can't restore last volume level", but that seemed to be only a warning.

So after login I started alsamixer, it looks quite fine (no mute channels Master or PCM). I tried to disable and enable some channels in alsamixer, but without luck, no sound at all under KDE. I also checked kmix.

Any ideas what I can do now?
It seems alsa has found my Intel-based onboard card fine:

For the records -- I had to add the following line to /etc/modules.d/alsa:

Are you using alsa modules in the kernel or from portage (media-sound/alsa-driver)?

If the later, you may find that you need to re-emerge them for your new kernel.

Handy that you've changed the title, but what was the solution that solved this problem?

Was my guess correct? Useful to let others know what worked :wink:
