Package: base
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
userc@powerbook6-4:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
userc@powerbook6-4:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
userc@powerbook6-4:~$ systemctl status alsa-store.service
● alsa-store.service - Store Sound Card State
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/alsa-store.service; static)
Active: inactive (dead)
The soundcard (Snapper) was detected with kernel 3.4, but stopped being
detected with later versions. The problem persists after a fresh install of
Jessie [3.16.0-4-powerpc #1 Debian 3.16.7-ckt2-1 (2014-12-08) ppc GNU/Linux].
(The upgrade was necessary to fix a video bug in Wheezy, as reported here
http://www.debianuserforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=3223)
I have come across several system errors:
userc@powerbook6-4:~$ dmesg

My search has covered every corner of the net and while many complaint about
similar problems and some propose their own remedies none seems adjusted to my
equipment.
My equipment is a PowerBook G4 12" (PowerBook6,4) from April 2004 (NewWorld
Generation) with CPU 7447A 1.33 GHz and RAM 1.25 GB DDR 333 MHz. Except for the
audio it runs pretty smoothly with Xfce 4.10.
userc@powerbook6-4:~$ find /proc/device-tree/ -name device-id | grep sound |
xargs hexdump -e '1/4 "0x%x\n"'
0x28
I would greatly appreciate any help to re-establish sound.
Kind regards,
Carlos Jimenez
