[alsa-devel] Missing pcmC0D0p on Intel HDA with Alsa 20090327 snapshot

[Frederik Himpe]

Hi, I'm using Mandriva kernel 2.6.29-tmb-desktop-2mdv, which according to 
the changelog contains Alsa 1.0.19+ snapshot 20090327 and Alsa 1.0.19+ 
unstable addons snapshot 20090327.

With this kernel, I have no sound working on my Intel HDA device on a 
Dell Latitude E6400 system, while sound is working fine with standard 
2.6.29 kernel.

aplay gives this output:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:590: audio open error: No such file or directory

According to strace, this is because of a missing /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p.
# ls /dev/snd
controlC0  hwC0D0  hwC0D2  seq  timer

Some dmesg related output:
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
