I switch my profile to default/linux/x86/10.0 from 2008, and yestoday I did a world dependent update, and the problem occured.


Code:
Portage 2.2_rc46 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.31-gentoo i686)
=================================================================
System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_M_CPU_000_@_2.00GHz-with-gentoo-2.1.6


When system startup, there's a warning like: not recognzied the IDT hda codec.

Entered desktop without any sound.

In the alsamixer sound control panel, there just "Intel HDA(alsa mixer)" in the device list, no PCM.

lsmod:

I don't know how can I roll back to the state original, even tried to switch profile to 2008.0, but that profile is warned not to support.
I use alsa-info.sh to gather the info, and is uploaded to http://pastebin.ca/1648692

Code:
# Soundcards recognised by ALSA
# -----------------------------

# 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
#                      HDA Intel at 0xf0440000 irq 22

dmesg >> /dev/dsp

but media play warns failed to open sound device.

a lot of duplicates when i look for the same issue

After a chat on the IRC channel it looks like he has the same problem I had: a new version of intel's hda sound card. Works decently in alsa 1.0.21 (I think it was first supported in 1.0.20a). I advised a kernel update as installing alsa drivers manually has caused me a lot of headaches whereas the newer kernel's drivers worked immediately.


All i had to do after that was also install media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa

Maybe it helps :)

Thanks a lot,
After 3 overnights, I tried it out, exciting.
I tried to use aplay to test the sound, and it warned to create a group audio. and then all goes back. I didn't remember that I have ever deleted a group named audio to cause the problem.

I was thought to give up this morning to leave gentoo if this can't be solved. but indeed it's fixed. You can't image how excting I'm now.

That's gentoo,to a half year newbie, causes headache, and brings you exciting.
I've ever used mandrake(mandriva),RH,SUSE,Ubuntu, but Gentoo maybe the best for me, at least will for a long time.

The problem for most is that they moved to the 10.0 profile not the 10.0/desktop profile.
The desktop sets many flags and other things necessary for alsa and others to work
properly

If you do "eselect profile list" and set the 10.0/desktop profile and
then re-emerge world sound should start working again.

Yes, maybe that's the original reason.
