Could you please provide the complete dmesg? Here: $ dpkg -l | egrep "(alsa|sound)" ii alsa-base 1.0.13-4 ii alsa-oss 1.0.12-1 ii alsa-utils 1.0.13-2 ii libasound2 1.0.13-1 ii libasound2-plugins 1.0.13-3 ii linux-sound-base 1.0.13-4 .. > 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.
