Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: important
I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.17-1 to 2.6.18-3 and I no longer get
sound on my PowerBook G4 (PowerBook3,2). I tried with both ogg123
and VLC, both with the speakers and the headphones. Setting the
volume to the maximum didn't change anything.
I'm using the OSS driver since ALSA has never worked. I don't get
any error: the output on the screen is normal, i.e. the audio file
is really played. But I don't get any sound.
I didn't have such a problem with the previous kernels.

Removing the modules from /etc/modules and installing alsa-base and
alsa-oss solved the problem (the same thing didn't work in the past,
that's why I had removed the ALSA-related packages). So, I'm closing
the bug.
