Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2.1 Severity: important When my USB MIDI Controller (M-Audio Keystudio 49) is not plugged in on startup, alsa recognizes my sound card, and sound works fine.
However, when I plug in my controller before starting up, alsa does not load my sound card. Note that everything works fine (including the controller) if I plug in the controller after booting up. It seems to me that the problem is that alsa thinks that the MIDI Controller is my sound card, and thus does not load the actual one. /proc/asound/cards says: 0 [KeyStudio ]: USB-Audio - KeyStudio M-Audio KeyStudio at usb-0000:00:03.0-3, full speed /proc/asound/devices says: 0: [ 0] : control 1: : sequencer 8: [ 0- 0]: raw midi 33: : timer However, when I unplug my Keyboard (after booting up with it plugged in), alsa seems to find no sound card /proc/asound/cards says: --- no soundcards --- and /proc/asound/devices says: 1: : sequencer 33: : timer -- Package-specific info: --- Begin additional package status --- Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii libasound2 1.0.22-2 shared library for ALSA applications --- End additional package status --- --- Begin /proc/asound/version --- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. --- End /proc/asound/version --- --- Begin /proc/asound/cards --- 0 [KeyStudio ]: USB-Audio - KeyStudio M-Audio KeyStudio at usb-0000:00:03.0-3, full speed --- End /proc/asound/cards --- --- Begin /dev/snd/ listing --- total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 May 23 02:09 by-id drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 May 23 02:09 by-path crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 May 23 02:09 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 8 May 23 02:09 midiC0D0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 1 Dec 27 2010 seq crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 33 Dec 27 2010 timer --- End /dev/snd/ listing --- -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33.3-rt17 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alsa-base depends on: ii linux-sound-base 1.0.21+dfsg-2.1 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsof 4.81.dfsg.1-1 List open files ii module-init-tools 3.12~pre2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 154-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages alsa-base recommends: ii alsa-utils 1.0.22-1 Utilities for configuring and usin Versions of packages alsa-base suggests: pn alsa-oss <none> (no description available) pn apmd <none> (no description available) ii oss-compat 0.0.4+nmu3 OSS compatibility package Versions of packages libasound2 depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
