Did that already. Cranked everything up. Think it needs a reboot after the fact?

CD Player runs, streaming content, but no sound.

You ran modeprobe snd-hda-intel?

Thanks for your diligence in helping. I appreciated it!

Sorry, let me rephrase.

It's booting without the nopcmcia option.

Then I ran modeprobe snd-hda-intel.

Then I ran alsaconfig. The card came up.

But no sound. No errors, just no sound.

WTF?

I'm booting up fine now without the nopcmcia. Then I do a modprode snd-hda-intel, then run alsaconfig and it recognizes the card, but no sound output.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers mate!

So your problem remains? It would appear to me that altering rc.modules and specifying the nopcmcia option look like they would do the same thing. In the rc.modules file there is a lot of if statements looking specifically for the nopcmcia flag. So it does the same thing, I think? Alternatively, rat...

To get my Acer 5570z to run boot up, I've had to specify the nopcmcia flag. The system loads up fine and works great, but the sound won't detect and I think it's related to the pcmcia. If I remove that from the boot flags it freezes at loading kernel modules. . . Suggestions to get around this? 2.17...
