Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alsa-base
Hello,
I just downloaded and tried the new edgy eft alpha2 live cd. This did
not boot into gnome. It halted before showing the desktop. Dropping to a
console and killing all things esd unblocked this and I could work
happily in gnome. However, the problem is not related to esd since I
cannot get any sound out of my laptop. This was no problem whatsoever
with Breezy. The problem started with Dapper and I filed a bug then as
well (bug 40176). For more details on my laptop please visit that bug
report.
What happens when I run $aplay anysound.wav is that I hear approximately
the first second of sound repeated twice and then nothing anymore. Thus,
it is, in my opinion, not related to the mixer settings. Also, very
importantly, this command does not exit normally. I have to kill it
manually. This obviously explains the halt in the gnome booting process.
(Note that with KDE and XFCE I also get no sound, but at least these
desktops finish the boot process!). Additionally, both Knoppix 5 and the
recent mandriva also provide me with no sound.
Thanks in advance.
Sam.
