Kernel 3.1.0 and ALC861--No Sound

English Multimedia

I upgraded to 12.1 and my sound stopped working. I found out there’s a bug in kernel 3.1.0 for ALC861. You can check if you have it with:

aplay -l

Ouput:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC861 Analog [ALC861 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

There’s a fix for it in kernel 3.1.1. I installed the kernel from here and got my sound back:

Index of /repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-12.1/standard

Thanks a lot. I just registered to say thanks. Looking for this since yesterday. It’s now working.

Again, thanks!
