[Alsa-user] No sound with STAC9228 (hda-intel) at bootup or after resume from hibernate

[David G. <da...@al...>]

Hi

I'm having a problem with my sound card on a Dell Inspiron 1420n laptop. 
The sound card is an Intel ICH8 chip (lscpi -vv below). The problem is 
this: at startup, or after resuming from hibernate (suspend-to-disk), no 
sound is heard. If I remove the snd_hda_intel module and reload it, 
sound works perfectly. I've checked that the channels in the mixer 
aren't muted. I'm running Fedora 8 with kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8.

Sound card details:

Any help would be much appreciated, as it's very frustrating to have to 
reload the sound modules every time I startup just to get sound!
