Hi, just in case somebody else experiences a similar problem.
I have an onboard sound chip: NVidia CK804 with ALC850 and a TV-card with a CX881 audio chip. After [UPGRADE] linux-sound-base 1.0.11-5 -> 1.0.12-1 [UPGRADE] udev 0.093-1 -> 0.100-1 linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 -> linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64 the onboard chip is not always assigned to card0 anymore. In some cases sound does not work after reboot, since the CX881 is detected first and assigned to card0: deb64a:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CX8811 ]: CX88x - Conexant CX8811 Conexant CX8811 at 0xf1000000 In other cases sound does work after reboot, since the CK804 is detected first: deb64a:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CK804 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804 NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xf2000000, irq 217 1 [CX8811 ]: CX88x - Conexant CX8811 Conexant CX8811 at 0xf1000000 A fix, which seems to work (3 reboots for a problem with random appearance) is to blacklist cx88_alsa: deb64a:~$ cat /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base cx88_alsa deb64a:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CK804 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804 NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xf2000000, irq 217 Package: udev , Version: 0.100-2 Package: linux-sound-base , Version: 1.0.12-1 Package: alsa-base , Version: 1.0.12-1 Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64 , Version: 2.6.17-9 Regards Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
