I expected sound
Instead i get no sound and no sound hardware detected, the sound worked in jaunty.
Slightly confused as i see the devices listed are Nvidia and ATI. The specification for my motherboard states
VIA VT1708S
The motherboard is M4N78-AM
I have a ATI HD4670 graphics card as well.
If i interpret this correctly the devices fond are the ones associated with the hdmi outputs and not the actual soundcard on the motherboard.
Only other error message in interpret to be related to alsa is this:
Oct 10 09:34:47 linux-burk pulseaudio[3749]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "PCM" or mixer control is no combination of switch/volume.
