Hi, I'm a similar problem with another HDA Intel.
These are the errors in my case: [ 7.663820] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 7.664648] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X [ 7.723012] intel_rng: FWH not detected [ 7.766751] hda-intel 0000:00:1b.0: no codecs initialized If I look for the module I get: snd_hda_intel 43768 0 snd_hda_codec 100159 1 snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13148 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 84566 2 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel snd_timer 26614 1 snd_pcm snd 61094 5 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel soundcore 13026 1 snd And finally I haven't any card: $ cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- I've tried with newer kernels but the problem continues: - 3.15.5-1~exp1 - 3.16~rc5-1~exp1 Information about my card: $ lspci -nnvv 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:27d8] (rev 02) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:0001] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 42 Region 0: Memory at 100000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=55mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee0300c Data: 41d1 Capabilities: [70] Express (v1) Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0 ExtTag- RBE- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 128 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr+ TransPend- Capabilities: [100 v1] Virtual Channel Caps: LPEVC=0 RefClk=100ns PATEntryBits=1 Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- Ctrl: ArbSelect=Fixed Status: InProgress- VC0: Caps: PATOffset=00 MaxTimeSlots=1 RejSnoopTrans- Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- TWRR128- WRR256- Ctrl: Enable+ ID=0 ArbSelect=Fixed TC/VC=01 Status: NegoPending- InProgress- VC1: Caps: PATOffset=00 MaxTimeSlots=1 RejSnoopTrans- Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- TWRR128- WRR256- Ctrl: Enable+ ID=1 ArbSelect=Fixed TC/VC=80 Status: NegoPending- InProgress- Capabilities: [130 v1] Root Complex Link Desc: PortNumber=0f ComponentID=02 EltType=Config Link0: Desc: TargetPort=00 TargetComponent=02 AssocRCRB- LinkType=MemMapped LinkValid+ Addr: 00000000fed1c000 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Regards,
