I just upgraded to Linux 2.6.11 and the soundcard on my machine went
silent. All volume controls are correct and there are no errors
reported. But no sound coming from the speakers. And here's the kicker,
the headphones work fine!
2.6.10 still works so the bug appeared in one of the patches in between.
The sound card is the one integrated into intels mobile ICH4 chipset.



There was some discussion of this on LKML a while ago. Are you sure
you have disabled "Headphone Jack Sense" and "Line Jack Sense" in
alsamixer?

Thanks,
Nish


This has been rather wildly debated now but yes, muting those enables sound. I don't have a docking station so I can't try any effects there.
I wouldn't say that it's intuitive to mute two channels to get speakers working though.
