[karmic]No sound on Intel 82801 series with "Analog Devices AD19**" codec

I have a very similar card that a recent (last 2 days or so) karmic update broke...

Codec: Analog Devices AD1984

        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 20ac

You mean that you had karmic before that and it worked?
Weird...

If it was the case, I should have got my sound back during a certain period...

And just to compare my Sound Card to yours:

Oh, wait, my sound codec!

Codec: Analog Devices AD1988

Same problem here: before update sound works good, now no sound.

lspci:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

If I try:
speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

I can hear sound from speaker

>>I can hear sound from speaker

You do?

I can't!
That's unfair! :(

lspci:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)

This is on a Del Latitude D830. Same issue. No sound, no hardware detected in the sound preferences

$ speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

speaker-test 1.0.20

Playback device is plug:front
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.front
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

Here are the commands you may want to use it you suffer the same problem than us (If anybody can edit the description for me...):
lspci|grep -i audio
cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec
speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

I'm not sure if this affects me. I have that hardware and I'm running Karmic. I just came back from suspend and now audio from flash in Chromium stopped working, but pidgin sounds are working, and Rhythmbox is weird. No sound, but the progress bar moves, and and the play button doesn't looked depressed.

Here's my speaker test output
$ speaker-test -c2 -Dplug:front

speaker-test 1.0.20

Playback device is plug:front
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels

Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
etc. it didn't stop so I killed it.

^ and I didn't hear anything from running that command

Aw, man!

Karmic will come out in 11 days, and most of the intel chipsets with "Analog devices" codec are problematic...

And Intel chipsets is a huge part of the computer users arround!

!!FIXED!!

The latest beta update fixed this issue, October 19, 2009. Sound is now working for

yeah this morning, after update, everything SOUND good!

Thanks

SOUND!!!!!!!

It's about damn time!!

I'm so happy, I'm crying right now!!!

Just performed an upgrade from 9.04 to Karmic final release, no sound devices shown in Sound Preferences exactly as mentioned in post #7 (also on a D830).

@twent4 Please file a separate bug using "ubuntu-bug alsa-base".

oh no! bug is comeback!!

no audio after some update (I m not sure which update is guilty)

Hi guys,
here an HP Compaq 6720s, kubuntu karmic with a 2.6.31 from kernel.org . I had this audio issue with this soundcard

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

then I've seen that I had error while trying to load alsa power_save option at boot time (maybe not included in my kernel) and I appended this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, commenting the power_save one

#options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N
options snd-hda-intel model=ref

Then I rebooted and now finally sound work fine :)

@Natale That's not really a "solution" -- you should file a separate
bug using default Karmic software. Please use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base"
once you're booted into Karmic's kernel.

Right, the dreaded slmodemd. Either deinstall the sl-modem-daemon

thanks Daniel, now audio works!!
