I run the Linus live-git kernels so have been running the 2.6.37 series=20 for some time now, and in fact am running 2.6.37 itself, ATM. I don't us= e=20 kernel modules here as I build everything in, but my sound (AMD 8xxx=20 chipset, i810/ac97 alsa driver) is working and has been thru the whole=20 cycle. I don't believe it'd have been released with a lot of people not=20 having sound, tho there might have conceivably been one or two reports in= - progress. The hda driver still gets a lot of work each cycle, so it's reasonably=20 possible it could fail (tho I imagine a lot of folks have it too, so it=20 gets a lot of testing), but that it's happening with another driver too,=20 suggests that you might have a different issue. Are the devices actually= =20 showing up in /dev/? Assuming you use udev, maybe it's the problem? If=20 you run them as modules not built-in, are the alsa kernel modules=20 themselves actually loading? FWIW, udev-164-r1 and alsa-utils-1.0.23-r1, here (~amd64). --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
