Thanks Initially tried
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i alsa
This did not work…i guess this was initialising stuff.
but then command
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset

Crane Sun, 21 Sep 2008 04:05:47 +0000 http://kubasik.net/blog/?p=130#comment-61402 I have had several issues over the last few years with Ubuntu. The main reason is that I have not put a disk in my drive since Dapper, and network upgraded to Hardy in succession. I had issues with partial installs, USB loss, and now sound (Pulse related). I have found a simple solution that has worked around most of my problems. I never remove old kernels. I know that this is not always recommended, but in a pinch. it has always worked. To go from Fiesty to Gutsy, to Hardy, I always used an older kernel for the upgrade, and did not remove old packages when they said they were not needed (I have always found a need for them anyway. In the Pulse audio problems, I have reverted to my generic 2.6.24-19 kernel, and sound works fine. The non generic kernel never has played nice with Pulse Audio, so I refuse to boot into it unless need be (no reason found yet). If you have already removed your older kernel through upgrade, I am sorry. I have found that most problems are resolved after two kernel upgrades, so I continue to upgrade to major releases, but keep the old kernel untill a third comes out, and then move up one. It is nice that they auto remove unneeded packages to save space, but the old adage "be careful when deleting" has proved very useful in community editions of OS's I have had several issues over the last few years with Ubuntu.

After issuing the above commands, Run: sudo alsa force-unload sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel I got my alc660 working using moduleassistant... I just wonder why they are taking so long to fix these issues. You don’t need to reboot. After issuing the above commands, Run:

Thank you very much for your easy to apply solution. I knew it was something to do with the alsa modules but had no idea how to go about it. I thought at first it was a hardware issue as the sound worked. It stopped, curiously enough, after I hooked up a PATA hard disk drive. Unplugging it did not help. Very weird and possibly coincidental. Thanks again. I’ve been wrestling with this for a few days. Thank you very much for your easy to apply solution.
