[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#364583: No more sound - me too.

[Peder Chr. Nørgaard]

I had the same reaction after my dist-upgrade of unstable as of today (April 
24th).  No sound.  I use aumix to adjust the mixer (I don't know about 
alsamixer).  All my settings are zeroed; but contrary to what the original 
submitter of this TR observes, using aumix to adjust the settings to 
something normal does not help - I *still* have no sound, and the settings do 
not survive reboot.

There is nothing wrong with the driver load and "udev" setup of devices - it 
works as always.

But I fear that the problem may not be exclusively related to ALSA.  I 
downgraded all the alsa packages 

alsa-base_1.0.11-1_all.deb
libasound2-dev_1.0.11-2_i386.deb
libasound2_1.0.11-2_i386.deb
alsa-utils_1.0.11-1_i386.deb
libasound2-doc_1.0.11-2_all.deb
linux-sound-base_1.0.11-1_all.deb

to the 1.0.10 versions.  Now my mixer settings survive reboot - as before.  
But still I have no sound!

I suspect that there may be problems with sound in the KDE upgrade that also 
arrived today: 3.5.2-1 to 3.5.2-2.  I haven't yet tried to back out that 
upgrade (it is pretty big!).

For the record, my sound is built-in on an AsRock K7S8X, version 3.0 
motherboard; it uses (according to lspci) SiS sound controller.  My kernel
is the current unstable Debian 2.6.16 (2.6.16-9).

Honestly, I consider upgrading the level of this TR to something 
release-critical.  You know, an upgrade of the sound system, and now I have 
no sound....

best regard
