I've just discovered that my sound has disappeared following a recent upgrade in Sid, after working flawlessly for months/years.
I suspected this was due to a problem with udev, which has recently replaced hotplug here (not necessarily an improvement, I think). However, "lsmod | grep snd" seems to show that the modules are loaded: lsmod | grep snd snd_ens1371 24736 0 snd_rawmidi 23072 1 snd_ens1371 snd_seq_device 7884 1 snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 92708 1 snd_ens1371 gameport 15304 2 snd_ens1371,analog ac97_bus 2560 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 72388 2 snd_ens1371,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21188 1 snd_pcm snd 48612 6 snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 7712 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9800 1 snd_pcm But aumix says there is an error opening mixer and saytime says: arcadia:~:$ saytime sox raw: '/usr/share/saytime/the_time_is.au': sample rate not specified; trying 8kHz sox stio: Can't open output file '/dev/audio': Permission denied child process returned a non-zero status 2 So I tried running sayitme as root, and got: sudo saytime sox raw: '/usr/share/saytime/the_time_is.au': sample rate not specified; trying 8kHz sox stio: Failed writing /dev/audio: Unable to reset OSS driver. Possibly accessing an invalid file/device child process returned a non-zero status 2 Alsaconf detects my sound card (Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI rev 02) and appears to configure things correctly. Alsamixer seems to show things correctly as well and there is even a click from the speakers as I finish. So I'm not sure what to try next or where to report a bug.
