Hello, I appear to have the same bug.
My report will be somewhat clumsy as I have absolutely no familiarity with this forum. Is this the right way to give information? I'm not sure. Here's my version of Debian: $ uname -r 2.6.32-5-686 There's one major difference between my version of Debian and that of the original poster. The OP upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze. My version of Squeeze is a fresh install on a new hard drive. I've since diluted the purity of my situation by trying to do a fresh install of the Alsa drivers from here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download In doing this, an error message that I got while running dmesg went away. This error message was in regards to the Echo Mia firmware not being in place. Unfortunately, I did not save a copy of that error message. In other words, Linux let me know at boot time that the Echo Mia firmware is not there. I'd be happy to uninstall the ALSA software that I installed to restore the purity of my situation. By purity, I mean a pure Debian install using the aptitude command. Do I do a 'make uninstall' to uninstall? I have no experience uninstalling software that I've installed from source code. My somewhat vague understanding of Debian is that Debian does not use proprietary drivers. Since the missing firmware seems to be proprietary, maybe the original posters problem is that Debian does not and will not install proprietary firmware. The Alsa Project has a package called alsa-firmware. This package made the error message that appeared on bootup go away. I'm referring to the missing firmware error message. In the end, though, the result is the same. My Echo Mia Midi Sound Card produces no sound in my speakers. Let me know if I can be helpful in any way. Thanks in advance to anyone who has made it this far reading this somewhat long message.
