Bug Description

Fresh install of Ubuntu 6.10, fully updated .

My laptop:

ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
VX1
1.0

After booting sound works fine (and is at full volume). When adjusting the volume with the alsa mixer sound fails. Absolutely no more sound. Volume control in Totem does work. When I do:

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset

or

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

Sound works again but only on one side (right side), left side is still completely silent. After rebooting it works again.

How to reproduce: boot, play a video or audio file, adjust the volume using the alsamixer

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
