Sound stops working after suspend to RAM
Hi everyone,
the update from Edgy to Feisty on my HP Compaq nx5000 laptop went smoothly. However I just noticed a rather strange phenomenon: After I suspend the laptop (to RAM) and wake it up again, the sound output stays mute.
The ALSA system thinks that everything's fine, and applications using the sound system (xmms, for example) don't notice anything wrong, but the speakers stay silent. I checked with alsamixer, and it reports nothing as muted. Changing the controls ans muting/unmuting all possible channels doesn't have an effect, either. The only way to solve this problem is to reboot the machine, which makes the sound system work again (until the next suspend, that is). I haven't tried to unload and load again the alsa modules, as I haven't had the nerve to fiddle with the dependencies on unload.
I suspect that there is something wrong with the ACPI implementation, but do not know how to verify this.
Is there any way short of rebooting to make the sound system work again after a suspend-resume cycle?
