Loss of sound with linux headers upgrade

Asked by Babu Choorakat

I upgraded as usual to linux headers 2.6.32.24 generic on Ubuntu 10.4 yesterday and I lost sound. A similar thing happened with a previous upgrade and posted the query on launchpad and got it solved by following steps suggested in the following link :http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/. I repeated the steps this time without any result. My system is an Inspiron 545 with a realtek sound card ALC 888.

I have sound on the previous kernel 2.6.32.23 but no sound in the newly upgraded kernel 2.6.32.24

Hello Babu
Are you going to upgrade to Maverick in October? If you plan to, I think you can just wait a couple of weeks and see if Maverick solves the problem.

You can also file a bug in launchpad as it seems to be a common problem with this kernel. But I guess it was already submitted, many people had this problem already.

Dear Francois Tissandier,

I Certainly am going to upgrade to Maverick in October and I can wait, but, thank God, my problem has already been solved by another kernel upgrade last week. I got my sound back with kernel 2.6.32.25.

Thank you so much for your concern and advice
