I have been using Intel High Definition Audio under ALSA together with

they do not work together - the HDA appears to mute the PC speaker. I
have tried all combination of the drivers as internal and as loadable
modules with the same result.

Running diff on the source code for the components of these modules
indicates that the nomes have been playing in this area although the
changelogs for each kernel release has not acknowledged this as occurring.

Has anybody else notices this audio/speaker muting behaviour? Does
anybody have a solution?


IMHO, as per http://www.kernel.org/, the latest Linux kernel is 2.6.23.1
and not that one you are talking about.

[bsd@cto ~]$ uname -a
Linux cto 2.6.23.1 #1 SMP Sat Oct 20 11:19:57 IST 2007 i686 GNU/Linux


You are definitely correct. Linux kernel 2.6.23.1 is the latest release, and as I stated, it also exhibits the problem together with 2.6.22, 2.6.22.1, 2.6.22.2,...
