Hello,
my upgrade from sarge to etch broke my sound configuration. Fortunately, I was
not the only one with that problem and I googled a solution
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/09/msg00949.html). Is it worth that
it goes into
5.1 Potential problems
of the release notes?
Something along the lines:
5.1.5 Sound stops working
In rare cases the sound stops working after the upgrade. In this case go
through the alsa checklist
1) run alsaconf as root user
2) add your user to the 'audio' group
3) use alsamixer and make sure levels are up and it is unmuted
4) arts or esound stopped?
5) OSS modules unloaded?
6) speakers on?
7) does `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` work for root?
For me alsoconf solved the problem as well.
Thanks,
Rainer
