I'm not familiar with how alsa in kernel 2.6 works, but let me take a stab. Was alsa-utils (or possibly other alsa components) upgraded recently? I run testing, with 2.4 kernels, but recently, after some alsa upgrades, I experienced a similar occurrence, finally discovering that my /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 file had been changed, and the line (in my case): options snd-sgalaxy index=0 id=CARD_0 sbport=0x220 wssport=0x530 \ irq=10 dma1=0 was missing. Upon reinserting this line (if this has happened, you should have a 1.0.debconf-backup in there to copy from), and running update-modules, I had sound again. Again, I don't know if this would even be the case with 2.6 kernel, but this (or the 2.6 version of this) might be your problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
