No Sound on the student PCs (unresolved)

January 2008


The students have new PCs, but no sound. The kmix program shows no devices to control. And the sound card isn't recognized either: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Unknown device 293e (rev 02).

So we update the PCI specs:update-pciids. Now lspci shows the following output:00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02).

Perhaps the hardware detection system can now handle our device... Nope. Work in progress.
