 I somehow blew up my sound. Only card is pulse audio sound server.

(1/2) > >>

LRC1962:
Started out with updating pulseeffects and Pulseaudio then no longer saved the configuration of both analog and HDMI5.1 . Looking into Kmix and HDMI was greyed out. Thinking pulse was the issue I purged and reinstalled I then ended up with only pulse audio sound server card showing. I have no alsa.conf file that I can find.This is the info that is usually asked for:
--- Code: ---$ cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---$ pacmd list-cards
0 card(s) available.
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---$ pacmd list-sinks
1 sink(s) available.

I also am including alsa-info.txt.As far as I can see I am missing either a conf file or there is a conflict that is breaking things, because every app as far as alsa is concerned is loaded.Could going to an older kernal, delete new kernal then using smxi to install the new kernal be of help? or could it be a case of two different drivers messibng things up. I just got a new laptop, And I know you should not really do it, but I just moved the HDD from the old laptop to the new one.

axt:
smxi.org is still based on the surface of a BBS, which I have always liked. ;-)

smxi has been frowned upon since sidux times (a reputation's hard to get rid of). But I used it back then as well (in sidux Γαῖα). You might break more with it.

You can move a system if you pay attention to some things (e.g. uninstalling certain proprietary drivers beforehand). Whether it is advisable is another question.

Did you want to transfer the system to the new notebook or did you do it because you have these problems?

dibl:
It would be interesting to try a recent siduction live ISO, to see how it handles that sound card.  If it loads a driver and works, then you will have an idea how to approach fixing the installed system.  Or maybe you'll decide just to install a new system from the ISO.

melmarker:
@axt - we strongly advise against the use of smxi - the only difference to sidux or aptosid.com is that we will not ban someone just for mention it, we just don't recommend nor support it no way.

Did I say anything to contradict that?
