Re: no sound with alsa
I'm afraid I celebrated too soon. While it is true that
running the udev commands you indicated and reinstalling
alsa-base worked as long as I kept my computer on, when
I turned it off, somewhere it must have changed configuration
files -- because when I restarted the computer, sound was
not working again, and it gave me this error:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function
snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:391:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat
returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer
returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3968:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2143:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
=== Could not load default driver and no driver specified in config
file. Exiting.
Furthermore, when I tried to run the udev commands you indicated followed
by "apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base", that did not solve the problem
again. So there seems to be some mystery here.
FYI here are some files that look relevant, but I don't know where to
go from here.
% cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
apm_emu

% cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
