Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.17.dfsg-4 Severity: normal My recent upgrade caused my sound card not working any more. Checking back at my packages version log, the only related upgrade is that alsa-base_1.0.17.dfsg-2 is upgraded to alsa-base_1.0.17.dfsg-4. The rest are still the same:
alsa-oss_1.0.15-1 alsa-utils_1.0.16-2 Yet, now I've got: % alsaconf Loading driver... Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes. . . $ ls /dev/dsp ls: cannot access /dev/dsp: No such file or directory $ cat /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.16 emulation code) Kernel: Linux helios.selfip.org 2.6.26-grml #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 26 21:41:43 UTC 2008 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0xc800, irq 22 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 31: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Trying the remove and re-install approach, % dpkg --force-depends --purge alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils libasound2 libesd-alsa0 linux-sound-base % aptitude --purge-unused install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils libasound2 libesd-alsa0 linux-sound-base Results the same "amixer: Mixer attach default error" after alsaconf.
