the strange thing is that the modules are being loaded well, and there's no errors in logs or console .... it just doesn't work ....

This sounds suspiciously like problems I've had with fresh Fedora installs on some notebooks; the problem is that the ALSA sound mixer has channels disabled, or muted, or turned all the way down.

Try popping up 'alsamixer' in a root shell and see if anything in there looks like it was messed with.

I've tested this before sending the email to the list, but it hadn't work ,.... I've even deleted the asound.state file and recreated it with alsamixer+alsactl but it hadn't work too ....

thx anyway ...

Hi folks,

Same here, same "ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller" for a Dell Inspiron 3100 and having the same issue, no sound at all, even checking alsamixer to verify muted channels.

Jose.

Same issue now for Acer Aspire 1400XV, using following env for i820:

BTW 'system-config-soundcard' doesn't play anysound after booting using that 42.0.2 kernel.

Finally for an ASUS CUSL2C / PIII Host + Creative Labs SB Live! 1024 Card, sound is working correctly OK as expected with new kernel,

Hints for non working sound at indicated hosts (embedded integrated sound chips in my case)?

I have a similar problem, where the aic7xxx module will not detect my Adaptec SCSI host adapter. I think I have seen other issues with various PCI cards. The aic7xxx module is the same version on the U3 kernel.

Maybe some PCI enumeration or initialization code has changed in U4? I am still investigating on my system, but I have limited downtime to check different options and adapters on my server.

If I use ACPI=OFF, that solves the problem with the aic7xxx. Of course it is not acceptable to run without ACPI, but it is a data point to where the problem is.

Another data point: Preliminary results indicate that booting 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL with acpi=off also takes care of the ntpd problem I tossed into the arena on the morning of 8/25. It has been looking good for over 3 hours. I think I'll look around and make sure I didn't overlook a BIOS update.
