I'm using Debian Jessie on dell inspiron. It was working fine earlier. Now, not working at all. 



 lspci|grep Audio


Returns empty.



What could be the problem and how do I fix it? Any pointers will be helpful.

  • If you run into strange issues with a command using grep, the first step is to remove grep and see what lspci shows you: if the audio device really disappeared, or just the string "Audio" vanished. If the device really disappeared, check your BIOS settings; some BIOS can disable audio device(s).

  • Thanks. Audio device was not appearing, not just the string. It's working now.

You should update your pci database:



update-pciids


the manpage man update-pciids:




update-pciids fetches the current version of the pci.ids file from the
primary distribution site and installs it.

  • Thanks! I did. It returned a message saying that it downloaded dailysnapshot. But lspci|grep Audio still returns empty. Just to inform, in Sound settings, "Choose a device for sound output" only shows "Dummy Output". (It was showing same even before update-pciids, and now also).

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
