I&#39;ve beat my head on this for a week now and I can&#39;t come up with any answers. &nbsp;For some reason sound has stopped working completely on my laptop. &nbsp;I&#39;ve checked dmesg and syslog for any errors and nothing shows up concerning the kernel having problems loading the driver (ATI IXP). I&#39;ve not updated the kernel until yesterday (was using 2.6.23-r9 for a month prior to this morning when I booted up into the new .24 kernel (-r4) and still no sound. &nbsp;It seems rather obvious that it&#39;s a library/software problem, but I have no idea how to start looking for that. &nbsp;I&#39;ve run revdep-rebuild a couple of times and it&#39;s rebuilt non-sound related packages. &nbsp;alsamixer has the sound ard right and the volume level right.<br>

<br>
I&#39;m out of ideas, anyone else have any?</blockquote><div><br></div></div>check in a console if alsa is working. try out alsaconf and reinstall the configuration. it should automatically add the modules at startup and run the daemon. to me the only explanation seem to be that either alsa daemon doesn&#39;t start or the modules aren&#39;t loaded at startup.<br clear="all">
