-------------------------------------

After the first errors (that is: No sound at all), I removed asound.conf and asound.names in /etc/ completely, just to make sure I have no mistakes in these files - to no avail so far. Kernel is still the same as all the last 2 weeks or so, where alsa/snd-aoa worked.

Hi
After some updates from http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/snd-aoa.git/
in the last few hours/minutes sound's gone here. Without changing sound settings intentionally here.

On Debian/unstable:
After downgrading libasound2 from 1.0.11-6 to 1.0.11-3 I have sound
again: 1.0.11-6 was, IINM, installed a few hours ago, which
- as it seems - broke sound here.

Have you tested that it wasn't just the renaming/re-ordering of some controls ? Alsa is pretty bad with that, you may just have to go back to alsamixer and reset some controls after updating the driver.

Hi All

Sorry for responding a bit late: I had to leave the house today ...

That's what I tried after reading your mail:

$ apt-cache policy libasound2
libasound2:
  Installed: 1.0.11-6
  Candidate: 1.0.11-6

The problem is: with libasound2 1.0.11-6 I cannot even *start* alsamixer:

------------------------

$ alsamixer
ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
-------------------------

----------------------------

$ alsamixer -c 0  
ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for hw:0: No such file or directory
---------------------------

amixer:

------------------------

$ amixer -dD controls
ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL controls
amixer: Mixer attach controls error: No such file or directory
---------------------------

But the last 2 examples may hint amixer at least sees some sound card:

---------------

$ amixer -c 1 controls
Invalid card number.
Usage: amixer <options> [command]

Available options:

[ ... ]
---------------------

-------------------

$ amixer -c 0 controls
ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0
amixer: Control hw:0 open error: No such file or directory
-----------------------

Suggestions? Did I miss something?

Thanks in anticipation

Best Regards
Wolfgang

Thanks.

And the bug already seems to be fixed with a new version: I just installed it (libasound2 1.0.11-7) and at least alsamixer and amixer started without error. Plus: Restarting the KDE sound system after installing this new version also worked liked a charm.

Thanks to everyone involved :)
