Bug#509176: upgrade-reports: soundcard losing configuration settings
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
System sound being redirected to /dev/null upon startup.
After checking amarok and XMMS, no sound on playback of any ogg files.
No sound from streaming video on www.hulu.com (example:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/49417/footsteps). XMMS gives error message:
sound card is not configured. After running alsaconf everything is
working fine. While running alsaconf, Volume Control crashes.
Cannot isolate which package is the culprit, kernel update the day
before did not show any problems.
