Hi!

Today my sound card stop to work, I'm not sure about the reason.

There is a error during boot, something like
timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001734sd00001178bc0Csc07i01' [594]

The logs colected by alsa are accesible at

====================================


Any ideas?

Looks like the Kernel is not recognizing your card.
I would try a different kernel, to see if the sound card will get recognized.

See if auto mute is on in Alsa Mixer. My motorcycle Shop desktop started doing that after a upgrade. If alsa mixer won't open as user in terminal. Open it as root.

That is another glitch I live with on M11 Base. Yeah. My user name is part of the sound group also.

Nothing to do with alsa mixer becouse the card not is detected by Alsa (

The element that fails at boot is the sound card...

Code: Select all

root@antiX1:/home/Carlos# modprobe -R 'pci:v00008086d0000284Bsv00001025sd00000136bc04sc03i00'
snd_hda_intel
snd_hda_intel
snd_hda_intel NOT is loaded

Code: Select all

root@antiX1:/home/Carlos# rmmod snd-hda-intel 
Error: Module snd_hda_intel is not currently loaded
But loading it manually works without problem !

Code: Select all

root@antiX1:/home/Carlos# modprobe snd-hda-intel
1.-Why stop to work since 30-August? I don't have changed the kernel and I can't see anything related at /var/log/apt/
2.-Why modprobe snd-hda-intel works manually but not at boot? what it's doing during the boot process? I not see anything at dmesg

Maybe post the upgrade history when this happened. It seems to me that the driver either has a conflicting driver or the driver is blacklisted. The upgrade history should show if a conflicting package was installed and if you check /etc/modprobe.d/*.list for snd_hda_intel on one of the lines. If there is then comment out that line and. Restart to see if it is fixed.

Oh yes oss-compat.
It is safe to remove it.
I have had an issue with oss-compat before, I did not loose sound but I was recieving errors on bootup that did not apear to mean anything. (because the error was there,
but everything worked). I appologize, I am not sure why this did not click in my mind when seeing the very similar boot error in your first post.

timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000010ECd0000816Csv00001734sd00001178bc0Csc07i01' [594]
Glad that you have it working now __{{emoticon}}__
