Hi,

I'm experiencing this as well, since yesterday.
I was able to get audio only following the suggestion in Message 10, ie doing a
'alsactl init' as root. And the effect is lost on reboot/shutdown.

root at malatesta:/home/madamezou# alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI R6xx HDMI"
"HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100200" "0x17aa" "0x5104"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method

Here's the requested information, let me know if you need more.
