I just tried upgrading from 2.6.20-suspend2-r6 to 2.6.21-suspend2-r7 and now I have no sound. All of the sound related modules are loaded. The kernel should be compiled with the necessary options, but still no luck. Looking for ideas.
Sound related modules loaded
Code:

snd_seq_oss            25088  0
snd_seq_midi_event      5504  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                37712  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          6028  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            34080  0
snd_mixer_oss          12928  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_rtctimer            2720  0
snd_hda_intel          15000  0
snd_hda_codec         194688  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm                58248  3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer              15620  3 snd_seq,snd_rtctimer,snd_pcm
snd                    37732  9 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,s
nd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc          7176  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm


Kernel settings for audio
Code:
 
 # egrep -i "snd|sound" .config|grep -v "not set"
# Sound
CONFIG_SOUND=y
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_RTCTIMER_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API=y
CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m


Looking for ideas.

Poking around on Google, it looks like a bunch of people are having similar problems with higher 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 kernels. I've tried all sorts of kernel vs module combinations, no luck. I'm not getting any errors, just no sound.

A weird one that may point somebody in the right direction for advice: If I go into alsamixer, I have no ability to set the master volume. Its not muted (00) not (MM), but there's no slider ability. I can set the PCM volume (its at max), but w/o master volume I'm wondering if that means something to somebody.

I'm thinking about unmasking the latest 2.6.22 suspend2-sources kernel and trying it to see if its helps me out. (After the first time I posted this, I've actually re-bricked the laptop, so I cannot go back to the 2.6.20 kernel that was working, as its not in portage (yeah, I know I could grab it manually from somewhere and put it in the distribution directory, but am not that desperate yet.)

lspci -v info specific to my Sound
Code:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
        Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device ff10
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        Memory at fabf8000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-

cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xfabf8000 irq 11

        Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0





I guess I dont have whatever package "alsasound" is associated with because that command doesnt exist on my box.

I have also run into this problem. I'll keep an eye out for any solutions.

the latest stable 2.6.22 still has the problem. Havent tried a .23 yet. I ended up going to a 2.6.20 gentoo-sources package and then added the suspend2 patches on top of it. I'm running 2.6.20-r8 (gentoo sources) and sound works fine with it.

There is a verified bug in 2.6.21 and .22 with the snd-hda-intel module. The problem is more prevalent than many realize. In my case I've got a
HDA Intel with the Codec: Realtek ALC861.

The pc in question is a Toshiba A105-S361. You do not have to emerge the alsa-drivers, you CAN use the kernel ones. All you have to do is put

"options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in your /etc/modules.d/alsa file, run update-modules, then reboot. Works like a champ!!
