Hi all, I had a perfectly(well, almost) working debian testing installation. before deciding to play with it :-( I'm not going in the details, but it ended up with not having module-init-tools installed anymore. Then I installed the one in the sarge CD, then updated it via internet with the one in testing repository.
Now everything is back ... except sound. I updated alsa-xxx packages and installed the one that now is called linux-sound-base. Run alsaconf without problem. But cannot get sound working (it worked before I messed with the system). When i try to run alsamixer, I get the error: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device Also, the startup scripts alsa-base in /etc/init.d fails, giving problems when trying to use amixer (it orints many time s the amixer usage message, as if amixer is incorrecly used), If I try to run amixer by hand I get: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device (but I think the scripts attempts to do something more clever - which I had not figured jet). Alsa modules are loaded. The kernel is the same with which I had the sound working before (hand-compiled 2.6.14). Files like /etc/modules /etc/modules.conf and the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/ are the same as before: I had backup that I restored after the messing up. So, what am I missing ?
