Description:
As soon as I updated my Latitude E6410 laptop to the latest kernel release (at the time of this writing, 3.2.1-1) I have no sound whatsoever. Alsa speaker tests via the commandline won't work, no channels are muted, and not even Pulse Audio works. Reverting back to 3.1.9-2 brought audio back instantly.

Additional info:
* lspci | grep Audio: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

Steps to reproduce:
Simply upgrade to 3.2.1 and experience no sound from any source or program, internal or external.
This task depends upon

No, I do not use HDMI. This laptop doesn't even have HDMI.

i can confirm that. No sound at all after kernel upgrade.
kernel - 3.2.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
sound device - Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)

EDIT:
The downgrade kernel to 3.1.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT will fix the issue.

With the kernel update today, sound is back (kind of). Now, I have to disconnect the speaker cable and reinsert it again in order to get sound. Once I do, sound returns for both the internal and external speakers. If do not do that, I don't get sound. I have to do that each boot in order to enable sound again, as the machine will start out completely silent.

Sound fixed after upgrade to linux 3.2.2-1 and pulseaudio 2-1.

This needs to be reopened, it was never fixed for me. I have no sound whatsoever.

What's the status on this with 3.4.1?
Comment by Jeremy LaCroix (jlacroix) - Sunday, 10 June 2012, 19:22 GMT
Sound was fixed in a further kernel update of some sort a bit later.
