Bug#411305: running alsa-utils at boot breaks sound configuration
Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.13-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable After upgrade of linux-sound-base (1.0.13-4) and alsa-base (1.0.13-4) alsa-utils is no longer working. Actually is completely messes up the sound system. Steps to reproduce the error: 1) Clean all sound configuration: dpkg --purge --force-all libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils 2) Install from scratch: apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils 3) Restore mixer settings (unmute volume and pcm) 4) Login. Sound is working 5) Restart the system. You receive notification that all sound and mixer settings are saved. 6) When the system comes up again aumix produceses a long list of errors indication that sound card could not be found in which case no restoring of sound and mixer setting was possible. 7) Login and discovere that all indication of a working alsa sound system are gone. 8) Clean up again: dpkg --purge --force-all libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils 9) Install from scratch again but this time don't include alsa-utils: apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base 10) Restore mixer settings 11) Login. sound is working. 12) Restart the system. You receive notification that all sound and mixer settings are saved. 13) When the system comes up again you receive notification that all sound and mixer settings are saved. 14) Login. This time alsa sound system is working properly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#411305: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#411305: running alsa-utils at boot breaks sound configuration
severity 411305 normal stop On Sun, 18 Feb 2007 the mental interface of Michael Rasmussen told: Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.13-2 Severity: grave Not really, read [1] Justification: renders package unusable After upgrade of linux-sound-base (1.0.13-4) and alsa-base (1.0.13-4) alsa-utils is no longer working. Actually is completely messes up the sound system. Steps to reproduce the error: 1) Clean all sound configuration: dpkg --purge --force-all libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils done 2) Install from scratch: apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils done 3) Restore mixer settings (unmute volume and pcm) via alsactl store 4) Login. Sound is working yes 5) Restart the system. You receive notification that all sound and mixer settings are saved. yes 6) When the system comes up again aumix produceses a long list of errors indication that sound card could not be found in which case no restoring of sound and mixer setting was possible. no! Could you please provide the complete dmesg? Here: $ dpkg -l | egrep (alsa|sound) ii alsa-base 1.0.13-4 ii alsa-oss1.0.12-1 ii alsa-utils 1.0.13-2 ii libasound2 1.0.13-1 ii libasound2-plugins 1.0.13-3 ii linux-sound-base1.0.13-4 .. 7) Login and discovere that all indication of a working alsa sound system are gone. Works fine here listening to Joe Satriani with my $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - SB PCI512 [CT4790] SB PCI512 [CT4790] (rev.8, serial:0x80231102) at 0xac00, irq 11 8) Clean up again: dpkg --purge --force-all libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils Doesn't matter on my system 9) Install from scratch again but this time don't include alsa-utils: apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base Doesn't matter on my system So please tell us which kernel (sound driver - lsmod | grep snd) you're using. Your platform (cat /proc/version) would be nice to know. For an first approach: install alsa-utils 1.0.13-2 again, delete /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and do /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart. I am waiting for the results ;) Elimar [1] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities -- Never make anything simple and efficient when a way can be found to make it complex and wonderful ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
