Greetings all;
I had to reboot after 19+ days of uptime yesterdat, dinking around with a
new hard drive that wasn't quite new.
Anyway, since then I have only had the new mail beep from mail as
entertainment, all web video is silent movies, and even Kscd is muted as
in the volume control is greyed out.
This has all worked without a trace of pulse even being installed.
Here is my SWAG on it. This motherboard has 2 snd-hda-intel driven
systems thru the MCP55 chipset on this M2N-SLI Deluxe asus board.
My video card, is an eVga whose hdmi audio is not even bonded out, so
while it signs in when an lcpci -vv is exec'd, the only noise its ever
made is from the GeForce4 8400 GS's cooling fan, which is typically a
bearing rattling annoyance. Its an eVga, what can I say, you buy
aftermarket fans in 3 packs for them, and its on its 2nd of the 3 now.
But I think somehow that the snd-hda-intel driver has linked itself to
the no output stuff on this video card.
Since the same snd-hda-intel driver runs both, how can I blacklist the
worthless one? Can I edit something in udev.d to cause the product
number 1302 to be ignored? That might be the ultimate hammer to drive
tis nail it seems.
Comments, audio guru's?
Cheers, Gene Heskett

I know its step one, but I had to install alsamixer & gui. No clue what
did it but everything was turned completely off! By a reboot? WTH?

In the Debian list you say that you have installed pavucontrol and it doesn't
work. It wouldn't if pulseaudio is not installed. (PulseAudioVolUme = pavu)
As I suggested there, have you tested your sound hardware? (I suggested a
live CD to test.)

Speaker-test was also muted. As was KsCD with Johnny Cash's "The man
comes round" showing on the window and play progress bar.
But I did find and fix it about 4 hours ago, by installing the alsamixer
and its gui, which was never done before and finding that it was all
turned down to zero when I ran it. So its working again. I haven't had
to resort to that in several years.
But my puzzlement stems from wondering why a powerdown reboot should mute
it all, except the incoming email beep from kmail. Strange. But at
least I know how to fix it if it does it again.
But I would also like to figure out a way to prevent the unconnected
hdmi "hda_intel" audio on this eVga made nvidia video card from being
discovered and supposedly configured. I cannot blacklist the
snd-hda-intel driver module since it is the same driver for both audio
systems. And that has occured several times in the past 5 years or so.
The product id for the bad system, card1 is 1302, but that doesn't grep
in /lib/udev. And while I have on previous installs, fiddled with udev
rules, its in desparation, not from any guru knowledge of how to do it
correctly. Greg Hartman is the final answer there, and that mountain of
a man is busier than that famous cat, on the equally famous tin roof. :)
The info in the man pages for udev isn't very good at such specifics.
That and I get lost in the abreviations without ever learning what the
foundation word means. We have way too many TLA's.
Thanks Lisi.

But by installing alsamixer & gui, I found it all turned down. Now
turned back up and its all working I think.
So problem mostly solved.
The new mail beep it turns out, is from the pc's own speaker and
unaffected by this. My hearings remaining directional senseing didn't
point that out to me right away.
