Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.17.dfsg-4
Severity: normal
Dear alsa team,
I have installed Debian Lenny on a Sony Vaio PCG-SR1K laptop. Everything went
fine except the sound.
When I run alsamixer I get the error message
linux> alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
The sound card I have is
linux> lspci
...
00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-754 [DS-1E Audio
Controller]
...
When I run alsaconfig, two cards get detected
ymfpci Yamaha Corporation YMF-754 [DS-1E Audio Controller]
legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) chips
the first one is selected and I continue. Everything looks fine except for
the error message from amixer.

linux> alsaconfig
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-ymfpci snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm
snd-opl3-lib snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-mpu401-uart snd-seq-dummy snd-seq-oss
snd-seq-midi snd-rawmidi
snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device.
Building card database...
Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1497: No soundcards found...
===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I select the second card, it doesn't work either.
The modules loaded look reasonable to me.

I have searched on the internet for solutions and found

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/alsamixer-function-sndctlopen-failed-for-default-no-such-file-or-directory-157454/
I did not want to get into recompiling the kernel, but I tried to set the PnP
O/S Option in the BIOS to off, and I
ran snddevices in the alsa-base directory. I also installed pulseaudio and
made sure oss-compat is installed, but
that didn't help either.
I also checked out the web page on www.alsa-project.org
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ymfpci
But since snd_ymfpci is loaded ok, I didn't see a reason to recompile anything.
Anything else I could try?
Laurenz.
