#5414: Asus A7N8X-X: No sound ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: Luposian | Owner: korli Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Audio | Version: R1/alpha1 Keywords: | Blockedby: Platform: x86 | Blocking: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment(by Luposian): Replying to [comment:10 mmadia]: > IIRC, umccullough has the same issue on one of his pc's. Luposian: could you restore the trashed drivers and see if a cold-boot vs. warm-reboot makes a difference? What would that help diagnose? If it was found to be a warm-boot issue (meaning, if you cold boot, it works fine), does that then mean I'd have to cold boot my system every time I want to make 100% certain I will have audio? That gets into the realm of inconvenience. In removing the USB drivers mentioned, the problem is no longer there. I can turn the system on now and test it again (it will be a VERY cold boot -- it's extremely cold out in the workshop tonight) and see if the problem is still gone. If so, then, as far as I would suspect, it must be the USB drivers. If the problem is present after a cold boot (with the USB drivers "removed"), then that lends credibility to it being a cold-boot issue. But I'm not about to cold-boot my system 7-8 times in a row... that's (while do-able) rather time consuming and inconvenient. An OS is suppose to be reliable... you must be able to trust that it will perform as expected when you first boot it, vs. rebooting it a dozen times. Nay, even if you yank the power plug (as Jean-Louis Gassee' did, during his presentation of BeOS)! :-D If the general consensus is that I really should try this drawn out "cold- boot" (with all drivers accounted for), I will go ahead and do it. But I'd rather not have to, if I don't have to. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5414#comment:11> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
