No sound on a Dell Latitude D630

[hausi]

After compiling my own kernel (2.6.22-rc5) I had no sound. This system uses the ICH8 chipset and Intel HD audio. After hours of searching, recompiling and head scratching I found a bit of info about the snd_hda_intel driver not liking to be built as a module. The error message while booting was something like: error loading codec. Compiled the whole Alsa stuff into the kernel and presto -> sound!

Re: No sound on a Dell Latitude D630

I'm still working on finding an alternate to the following for my Toshiba Satellite P105-S6147, but this made my sound work:

edit your /boot/grub/menu.list file (as root) and add to the end of the kernel line the following:

acpi=off

Save and reboot your system.
