Bug Description

I did a regular system update and the kernel above was installed.

I had sound on Dapper Flight 4 + all upgrades since installation.

After this upgrade, sound is gone.

The error from the system when trying to open sound controls is:

No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.

My sound card from lspci:

0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

My installed modules are as follows from lsmod:

Any assistance in getting this resolved would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To those who are thinking about upgrading and have the AC97, the bug is still in Dapper Beta.

This is not a kernel/sound bug, it seems to be another issue altogether, possibly (assignable to) gdm or gnome-session, as evidenced by the fact that you can hear something when the gdm greeter appears.

Again, please _attach_ (last time you commented inline) the output from ``amixer -c0 && lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*'' while logged into GNOME.

I have sound again. I just ran through the BIOS without changing a thing and at login, I heard the login sound and the music while the desktop was loading. Streaming music now. If it goes off again, I will follow the directions above for what you requested.
