Bug#512934: installation-reports: no sound at all; worked in Etch, works with Knoppix

[Seb <seb@h-k.fr>]

Hi,


| Good, but /dev/audio and /dev/dsp are the OSS nodes, ALSA have nothing
| to do with them.  Look under /proc/asound instead.

Ah, yes. All in order:

~>cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [AudioPCI       ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI
                      Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xb000, irq 16

| But it doesn't look like a permission problem.  Can you run alsamixer
| (with the appropriate -c option to select your cards)?  Try aplay as
| well (use -l to list your devices).

alsamixer runs fine; aplay appears to play but no sound emerges...
I tried several things around this before.

Did you pick something on the fact that with exactly the same sound card
and actually the same PC, sound works if I install Etch ? It also worked
with Ubuntu 7.10, but doesn't work with either Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu
8.10. Perhaps it's not really related to sound after all. Did something
major change with udev perhaps ?


Best,
Sébastien.
