I noticed that this error came up on boot: alsactl restore error message alsactl: set_control: 1269 : Failed to obtain info for control #24(no such file or directory) when it was trying to start alsa. So its to do with alsa not being able to restore the previous volumes properly.
Nigel here is the information you wanted. d...@debian:~$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16. d...@debian:~$ uname -r 2.6.26-1-amd64 d...@debian:~$ grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec* /proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: SigmaTel STAC9228 /proc/asound/card0/codec#1:Codec: Conexant ID 2c06 BTW that is the problem as all the modules are loaded and unloaded successfully. I am unable to boot in to previous kernels as i have removed them(d'oh, stupid me).
