No soundcards found for PowerBook6,4 since kernel 3.5
Dear Debianites, My soundcard (Snapper) used to be detected up to 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]. (This upgrade was necessary to fix a video bug in Wheezy) 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 amazingly well with Xfce 4.10. From this message https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2013/09/msg00031.html I gather that some AOA modules need to be edited to add this particular laptops soundcard (sound device-id 40). I believe Mr Johannes Berg (http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/snd-aoa) has done work on these modules. Could anyone with the required skills explain a basic user how fix this issue?

Hi, There is also another, older, driver, snd-powermac. I'm not sure which one is correct for your hardware. Can you see a message in dmesg that says something like 'snd-powermac no longer handles machines with something'?

Re: No soundcards found for PowerBook6,4 since kernel 3.5
Hi, I checked my PowerBook6,4 running Debian 7.0 with kernel 3.2.0: - snd-aoa is blacklisted - snd-powermac is loaded and works I don't say that snd-aoa cannot be used, but at least snd-powermac used to work.
