Source: alsa-lib Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I had noticed I upgraded my laptop and I was trying to bug test why my audio stopped working (i got a dummy input), googling did not help. I decided to check the /etc/alsa folder for clues. i found /etc/alsa/conf.d filled with symlinks and checked a few, they all led to /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d files that did not exist (that folder only contains pulse.conf, which strangly is not referenced at all, not even by the similar 50-pulseaudio.conf)
i have to assume by mistake that /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d was not populated. I know /etc/alsa/conf.d folder had not existed prior by testing this with my desktop PC, also running sid, checking both folders prior to upgrading, and then upgrading. suddenly i have an /etc/alsa/conf.d folder filled with broken symlinks. as a temporary fix, deleting these symlinks restores functionality. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
