Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alsa-base
After a clean installation of feisty my Terratec Aureon 7.1 Universe soundcard
does not work properly. It either
- plays no sound at all
- plays sound too slow
- is ok
When there is no sound at all and I reboot then sound is ok again.
If sound is too slow and I logout and login again, the speed is right. I'm
using artsd, but a "killall artsd" does not work, I have to logout.
When the sound is too slow, I can remove my .asoundrc and restart artsd and
afterwards the sound is even a little slower.
Sound was fine on edgy, with dapper there was also the problem that
sometimes sound did not work at all and I had to reboot.
Here is some info:
