Hi deb-gurus,
after an update, sound on my system stopped starting automatically and I
needed to run alsaconf after each boot to get it started. So I updated
all packages on my system and now it seems that even alsaconf was
automatically removed. Using the Audio Settings panel in gnome, the test
never completes. I am at something of a loss as to how to figure out
exactly where the problem is, any suggestions?
thanks Peter
Fist make sure you have alsa-base installed. If you already had it then
please provide the relevant entry to your audio device from 'lspci -vvv'
and the output of 'lsmod | grep snd' and 'cat /proc/asound/cards'.
