That file is part of alsa-base.
Hmm, the entries for your driver must be:
$ grep snd-via82 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx $CMDLINE_OPTS
&& { /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-via82xx ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet
snd-seq ; }
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
No /usr/lib/alsa/blabliblo found :(
$ dpkg -L alsa-base | egrep "/usr/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install"
"NOTHING"
Please do as root:
# cp -av /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-`date
+%Y-%m-%d:%H:%S`
# dpkg --purge --force-all alsa-base
# apt-get install -f
Try your sound now ;)
