Acer V5-131 Intel sound issues

[pyperdown]

My sound device shows as "dummy output"  Tried a few things (switch to ALSA, which sees the intel soundcard but still no sound.

Any ideas?

lspci shows:

00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Panther Point USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04)

I've seen this once before, but never on that model, and the problem went away with a reset. Try opening a terminal and then do an lsmod to see loaded modules. Do you see a "snd_hda_intel" in the list?

[pyperdown]

Yes I do...

I know you are using multi-user login - could be a groups issue. Try adding the user to the audio group.

[pyperdown]

user is in the audio group.

[pyperdown]

Once I booted to generic it worked, thought a restore might do the trick... sorta:  generic kernel works, aufs does not.

[pyperdown]

I may start from scratch again.  If not something with the kernel, that could at least let me know if this this is a self-inflicted wound or not.

And...  I am a moron.  Or I must be.  I could swear the user I created was in the audio group.  I was wrong.  Need to test again from factory restore and make sure that the local user is still in audio group.
