[warning, long post] Hi,
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 alsamixergui_0.9.0rc2-1-9 Yet, now I've got: $ 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 How should I fix that? FYI, the upgrade problem was more than that, I was able to fix another one: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device which is what I get after successfully done the alsaconfig Loading driver... Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device . . . Now ALSA is ready to use Here is a run-down of my sound card info: (Ref: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/ thread/40209b7807c493d0/329f7bac986a6a93?lnk=raot&pli=1) $ hwinfo --sound 14: PCI 11.5: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.310] Unique ID: Ssy1.KzJ6TO9PmfB SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.5 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:11.5 Hardware Class: sound Model: "VIA VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller" Vendor: pci 0x1106 "VIA Technologies, Inc."

E.g., among many other tryings, following Florian Kulzer's advice on merely unloading and reloading the modules didn't work for me: % modprobe -r snd_via82xx snd_pcm snd_seq FATAL: Module snd_pcm is in use. % modprobe snd_via82xx % modprobe snd_seq Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
