[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#555053: alsa-base: It was working in stable, not in testing. No sound

[yellow]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have no sound since I upgraded to Testing. Please could you release a fix.

I noticed that when I remove my usb microphone at start I get back sound, until I reboot.
Please fix it, it is of no use otherwise using Linux, if you could. Please.

It was working great under Stable Debian. Alsa is apparently still unstable. Also when one start audacious, although plug or not, no sound. 
It was working in Stable. 

(I remind that Linux is destined to HUMANS, so please do not tell me again to use Windows XP. I am just Lame, or not a geek, just normal general information knowledge, not geek, no no.) 

Thanks a lot if you know how to fix the issue, and this can lead to improved working operational reliable sound system for the next stable Debian Linux!
Best regards
Y.
