Nope, here is a copy of the test I ran: sarge:~# modprobe via82cxxx_audio sarge:~# play /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav playing /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device sarge:~# lsmod | grep cxxx via82cxxx 10116 1 (autoclean) ide-core 96876 4 (autoclean) [ide-cd ide-detect via82cxxx siimage ide-disk] What is puzzling me is that audio had been working just fine before my latest apt update. This is a snippet of /var/log/kern.log for the last time audio worked: < snip > Dec 29 08:56:26 localhost kernel: Via 686a/8233/8235 audio driver 1.9.1-ac3 Dec 29 08:56:26 localhost kernel: via82cxxx: Six channel audio available Dec 29 08:56:26 localhost kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:11.5 \to 64 Dec 29 08:56:26 localhost kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: ALG16 (ALC2\00/200P) Dec 29 08:56:26 localhost kernel: via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xB800, IRQ 22 < snip > Any help will be much appreciated.
