I obtained a HP dc7600 small-form-factor desktop for PCLOS use. The sound worked fine on the LiveCD (2012) but disappeared after the second re-boot. No settings have any effect.
I believe I have found the issue resolved (with no mention of what Linux OS) at the following location:
http://www.mattb.net.nz/blog/2006/08/05/working-sound-on-an-hp-dc7600/This refers to "ALSA Bug #2157 which fixes an identical problem for a different motherboard (Subsystem 0×3012) by using the ALC260_HP_3013 mapping in the driver".
A text of a patch to correct the problem is provided, however, I cannot find similar directory entries in PCLOS.
I am pretty sure this patch would correct my problem if it was tailored to PCLOS and I knew how to generate a patch from a text file and apply it.
If someone could point me in the right direction and provide simple instructions for generating and applying this patch for PCLOS it would be most appreciated.
