Hello, I own a PowerBook G4. For previous kernels (2.6.19 self compiled, Debian 2.6.22) playing audio files was no problem. When using the Debian 2.6.25 or a self compiled 2.6.24 I no longer have audio though. When I look at the loaded modules I see that in 2.6.24 snd_seq, snd_seq_device, snd_seq_midi_event and snd_seq_oss are loaded additionally (full diff see below). When stracing e.g. mpg123 in 2.6.22, lots of files in /dev/snd are opened. In 2.6.24 I get several error messages for mpg123, starting with: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory The directory /dev/snd only contains two files: controlC0 timer
When booting into 2.6.25 (Debian), no directory /dev/snd is present
(only /dev/sndstad) and mpg123 fails again with
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory
Compared to 2.6.22, snd_aoa, snd_aoa_codec_onyx,
snd_aoa_fabric_layout, snd_aoa_i2sbus and snd_aoa_soundbus are not
loaded in 2.6.25. When loading snd_aoa, I see:
Setting up ALSA..warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl:
laod_state:1573 No soundcards found...'...done
Trying to load snd_powermac directs me (expected) to snd_aoa.
I'm glad for any pointers to get sound back.
