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'.
