I was unclear, sorry. In early 12.04 sound loaded and ran fine.
At some point in routine updates it stopped loading, and in -29-pae it does NOT load automatically, though the modprobe loads it (thus providing a workaround). When I went back (using grub) to -24-pae sound did NOT load. In other words going back to an earlier kernel with grub did not make sound work at boot. Unfortunately, the above experiments do not really prove when sound stopped working. The experiments do not prove sound was failing in -24-pae. And in fact I have the vague impression sound was *working* in -24-pae and even later but have no way I know of to confirm or deny that impression. Sorry. I made a brief effort to find the source code as I wondered what the alsa-restore error code 19 meant, but that effort failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035474 Title: [Asus P5Q3 deluxe] PCI/internal sound card not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1035474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
