[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#422965: alsa-base: No sound at all

[marco]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.13-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I have a new ASUS A7M, with AMD Sempron and NVidia chipset. Audio is nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev 
a2) that has seen by my Debian 4.0 Etch as snd-hda-intel but it doesn't work at all. No audio from the speackers and no 
audio with headphones. I have also tried snd-intel-8x0, nothing.
Kernel 2.6.21.1 with alsa modules from kernel and with alsa modules from package alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2.
I have followed https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2587 using all the patch available but nothing. 
No sound.I have also opened a alsa bug https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3000 last April 5 but I 
haven't an answer from alsa people.
Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.
