I installed linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 (version 2.6.32-15~bpo50+1) on my Debian Lenny laptop. After rebooting sound was no longer working. Beeping however still continued to work. With "sound no longer working" I mean I couldn't get any sound player to produce sound. They appeared to be working fine, the progress bar etc advances, but no sound was coming from my speakers. Using alsamixer I double checked that everything was un-muted and volume was set high enough. But relating to the original question, is the bug about unmutable PCM channel gone in the new kernel: NO. Using alsamixer, again I saw a mutable master and an un-mutable PCM channel. I couldn't test whether or not muting the master channel actually mutes the sound now, as no sound was coming from my speakers in any case :) Regards, Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
