no more sound after kernel 4.10.2

English Multimedia

Hello,

I have a HP Proliant with a Xonard DGX sound card and a video quadro 4000 card which has also sound capability.
With kernel 4.9.11 the Xonar DGX card was recognized and worked. The quadro 4000 was ignored
I installed today kernel 4.10.2 but there was no sound. I tried to reconfigure the card via Yast but no luck. I see in Yast

  • Xonar DG configured as card 0 with CMI8788 (Oxygen HD audio), driver = snd-virtuoso
  • the Nvidia (GF110 high definition audio controler) not configured
    this seems correct for me.
    I rebooted in kernel 4.9.11 but there was also no more sound >:(

I tried to reactivate the Xonar DGX card with no luck.
running aplay command I have these errors

# aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav
ALSA lib confmisc.c:767:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'

aplay -l gives

I ran alsa-info.sh and uploaded in http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a473b2ca9fbc64f98586a3f1814e097a25d34780
what I see (but cannot remember if it was the case before) is that in the list of kernel modules I have now 3 snd-hda modules

snd_hda_intel
snd_hda_codec
snd_hda_core

Any idea hot to re-establish the sound?

Hi,

I blacklisted all snd_hda in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blackkist.conf and rebooted

I still don’t have sound but the error in aplay are gone

I ran again alsa-info.sh and loaded it in http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7832e7f08da23e529a52e7ec4d731dd9ec703f15

in the mixer configuration it gives only choice to CMI8788 and it is not muted.

ideas how to solve this?
