[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#519414: alsa-base: Similar problem

[Christian Ohm]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.19.dfsg-1
Followup-For: Bug #519414

Hello,

I encountered a similar problem after my first dist-upgrade after the Lenny
release today. I have two sound cards, one onboard which I use with my
headphones, and one PCI for the speakers, set up via
/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf:

options snd-ice1712 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=1

After the upgrade, sound was quite dead. aplay -l saw the onboard card, but
applications couldn't actually use it (some error about setting device
parameters like channels, sample rate etc.). Then I ran alsaconf, selected the
PCI card, and that worked. After modprobing the onboard chip everything worked
as before. Well, almost, after rebooting the cards have to be manually set up
again.

dmesg shows the following message after startup when the cards aren't working:

HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
HDA Intel 0000:01:05.2: PCI INT B -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
ICE1712: probe of 0000:03:05.0 failed with error -12

When manually activating the cards:

HDA Intel 0000:01:05.2: PCI INT B disabled
HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A disabled
ICE1712 0000:03:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
HDA Intel 0000:01:05.2: PCI INT B -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19

The first two messages seems to be from removing the modules.

I hope that information helps somehow, if you need more, I'll provide it
(though if it involves rebooting it might take a little while).

Best regards,
Christian Ohm
