Hi all,
I use Ubuntu 9.10 on my HP Pavilion dv9704tx laptop and I have been
facing an issue with alsa. Everytime I start the computer, the audio
doesn't work but when I manually force-reload alsa, the volume control
gets muted and on raising the volume, the audio works.With some help on
ubuntuforums(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8704925), I found
that this issue could be an issue when there are multiple alsa devices
and the order gets mixed up. When I did a aplay -l,
I get this
<snip>
guru@guru-laptop:/etc/init.d$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
guru@guru-laptop:/etc/init.d$ arecord -l
</snip>
Does this mean this is an issue due to multiple alsa devices and their
ordering? And is it correct to have the same card number 0 for sound
device and modem?
Hi Guruprasad,
