sound problems with kernel series 2.6.24-x-generic
Running Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with hard drive partitioned to run Ubuntu and eComStation. Installed Ubuntu 8.04 running kernel 2.6.22-14-generic and computer performed perfectly. Over time I have installed all recommended updates so that I now have kernels 2.6.24-22-generic to 2,6.24-27-generic onboard. Tried to play DVD recently and no sound. Checked 'sound troubleshooting' from internet and tried to follow their advice. When I type "aplay -l" with kernels 2.6.24-x-generic (x= 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) the response is: aplay: device 205: no sound card found. Using the kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, the response is: card 0: Intel (HDA Intel), device 0: STAC92XX Analog, subdevices:1/1 card 0: Digital card 0:Conexant modem
I am reluctant to blindly make changes to the system in case I destroy the sound system with kernel 2.6.22 and still not fix the sound system with the kernel series 2.6.24. At least now if I want to play a DVD or CD I can select the kernel to use when I boot up. This is my crude 'fix' but I would prefer a more precise solution to the problem.
