Package: release-notes Severity: normal
My upgrade from sarge to etch broke my sound configuration. Fortunately, I was not the only one with that problem and I googled a solution (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/09/msg00949.html). Is it worth that it goes into 5.1 Potential problems of the release notes? Something along the lines: 5.1.5 Sound stops working In rare cases the sound stops working after the upgrade. In this case go through the alsa checklist 1) run alsaconf as root user 2) add your user to the 'audio' group 3) use alsamixer and make sure levels are up and it is unmuted 4) arts or esound stopped? 5) OSS modules unloaded? 6) speakers on? 7) does `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` work for root? For me alsoconf solved the problem as well.
