Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.11-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Sound support completely broken; from /var/log/boot: Mon May 29 14:49:52 2006: ^[[9;30]^[[14;30]Setting up ALSA...warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 Mon May 29 14:49:53 2006: alsactl: set_controls:1088: snd_ctl_open error: No such file or directory'...ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 Mon May 29 14:49:53 2006: amixer: Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such file or directory Mon May 29 14:49:53 2006: ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 [repeated several times] Mon May 29 14:49:53 2006: ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:1 Mon May 29 14:49:53 2006: amixer: Mixer attach hw:1 error: No such file or directory [repeated several times] Consequently, all sound software fails. This is on an "Compaq Professional Workstation SP700" that had no sound related problem since a few days ago. The machine gets updated more or less every day; I'm sorry I can't say exactly when things broke (or what update introduced the problem -- I'm filing this report against alsa-utils because I do not know better). FWIW, sound still works in a Red Hat installation on the same machine. Custom kernel is build from: ii linux-source-2.6.16 2.6.16-14 Linux kernel source for version 2.6.16 with Debian patches ...but this standard kernel: ii linux-image-2.6.16-1-686-smp 2.6.16-12 Linux kernel 2.6.16 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 SMP machines ...has the same problem. There are 2 soundcards installed; one onboard ISA-PnP ESS ES1869 (es-18xx) and a PCI ESS Solo1 (es-1938).
