Updated to the latest kernel and sound has disappeared.
I have alsa and pulsaudio installed for firefox and it was working with the last kernel.
I have tried all the solutions I could find but none have worked.
Here is the link to my ALSA info:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5a921c8c73b26c8c8c8bacdd9cfb845077e22c19

Hi,
You may only use Alsa and not Pulseaudio, because Alsa is default when you install SliTaz …
For Firefox you may use apulse (Pulseaudio emulation for Alsa).
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/firefox-520-audio-requires-pulseaudio#post-44431
[c]tazpkg -gi apulse[/c]
[c]sed -i 's/Exec=firefox-official %u/Exec=\/usr\/bin\/apulse firefox-official %u/' /usr/share/applications/firefox-official.desktop[/c]
It simply worked from FF52 to 58.
But for FF59, we have to modify some strings in [c]about:config[/c] :
[c]security.sandbox.content.write_path[/c] add [c]/dev/snd/[/c] (don't forget / after snd)
and
[c]security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist[/c] add [c]54[/c] (for x86 or ARM) or [c]16[/c] (for x86-64)
as reconnanded here : https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse#access-errors-in-do_connect_pcm

Thanks for reply alex .... I tried what you have said and still no sound ... 
This has only happened since upgrading to 3.16.55.
Even though my Slitaz shows as up to date I checked for upgrades and there were 8 "new build" packages including sound:
[attachment=46055,2627]
So my hopes were up but then after installing the new packages I could not reboot so had to fall back to previous.gz
Any other suggestions would be well appreciated.

1) Check if Internal modem is enabled in BIOS : it looks stupid, but sometimes …
2) Two years ago, i had a HP zv5404EA with rolling : to get sound working, i had to replace [c]alsamixer[/c] by [c]pnmixer[/c] .
[c]tazpkg get-install pnmixer[/c]
remove [c]alsamixer[/c] from lxpanel
[c]nano /etc/xdg/autostart/pnmixer.desktop[/c]
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=pnmixer
Name[fr_FR@euro]=pnmixer.desktop
3) I saw it's Intel HDA sound card with Realtek chip "AD1984A" :
Try with [c]options snd-hda-intel model=mobile[/c] in [c]/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf[/c] .
4) You mentionned a reboot issue : maybe a problem with ACPI.
For info, in my LUG, I have two variants of HP Compaq 6730b with AMD Sempron / Turion64 x2 CPUs, with boot/halt issues and noisy CPU-fan : to get them working properly with Debian Jessie/Stretch (kernel 3.16.0.5 to 4.x), I had to add [c]nolapic[/c] at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in [c]/etc/default/grub[/c] .
5) I advice you to update your BIOS, if it's not last version, and if if you are a bit familiar with that.
There are several variants of 6730b with diffrent motherboards : to get correct BIOS version, search with real model name "67xxb" or with part number p/n: on the Service Tag under laptop.
If BIOS doesn't have flashroom for update, you'll find a tool or smth. that create a FreeDOS USB bootdisk.

the update was quite big - please try with last rolling ios, if you have sound or not
Offline
@kultex ... by "last rolling ios" do you mean the latest weekly rolling iso?
Offline
yes
Offline
Latest iso didn't work ... and also noticed my usb3 hard drive doesn't work either with it.
So with the latest I have:
No sound
Restricted video resolution (noticed that the there was an error while booting and the i915 module would not load properly) I tried manually but could not do it.
Some of my usb3 devices are not recognised
Everything worked fine before the kernel change to 3.16.55
I still have the old kernel ... Is there somewhere I can download the old kernel modules from so I can easily get back to full functionality?
Offline
support for 3.2 will end soon - so this is not really an option
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
did you try this?

Offline
@kultex ... just tried what you have suggested and it didn't work ...
This latest "upgrade" has been a major downgrade for me ... I've spent ages trying to fix it now and don't seem to be getting anywhere ...
Offline
sorry my time in spring is very limited...
maybe there are some problems with 3.16 kernel
can you try to boot
http://mirror1.slitaz.org/iso/next/slitaz-next-170930.iso
if your sound works, then
post the output of lsmod from next and from your system
and also post the output of lspci -nn

Ok kultex ... here are my outputs from the broken upgrade:

modules are looking ok in both - so here it seems no to be the problem
check alsamixer and amixer, if any values are switched off

you have quite a lot of numids on O or off
what I would suggest - boot some debian, arch or whatever distribution, check the amixer settings and correct them.....
