No sound -

[Bob Goodwin]

    I have two F-16/64 bit computers that have sound problems. The
    second one has no sound at all.

    I can see sound moving the indicator trace in PA Volume Output
    Devices but it does not get to ALSA.

    PA sees no sound card at all, just a dummy. PA vol. configuration
    has nothing to select.

    Neither computer had a sound problem with F-15.

    My problems appear to be similar to those of Patrick Dupre.

    Alsamixer shows the sound card as "HDA Intel" but it is not "seen"
    by PA.

    blacklist.conf is:

        [bobg at box9 ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
        #
        # Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from
        loading it.
        # Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,
        # no matter which driver happens to get probed first.  Sometimes
        user
        # mode tools can also control driver binding.
        #
        # Syntax: see modprobe.conf(5).
        #

        # watchdog drivers
        blacklist i8xx_tco

        # framebuffer drivers
