Public bug reported: While on Desktop CD edgy beta PPC there is sound all over the system, once installed there is no sound.
I've checked the net for issues, and seems Gentoo has solved the issue with new kernel 2.6.18 but I could not use that info on Ubuntu. By doing "modprobe" to verify sound modules installed, snd-aoa appears to be present, which theoretically solves the issue, but still got no sound. The following appears always when typing "gedit -filename-" in a Terminal: ------ ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:391:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default --------- Device Manager shows presence of alsa device: alsa.device_file - strlist - /dev/snd/timer alsa.type - strlist - timer info.capabilities - list - alsa info.category - strlist - alsa info.parent - strlist - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer info.product - strlist - ALSA Timer Device info.udi - strlist - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_alsa_timer linux.device_file - strlist - /dev/snd/timer linux.hotplug_type - int - 2(0x2) linux.subsystem - strlist - sound linux.sysfs_path - strlist - /sys/class/sound/timer ** Affects: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- No Sound on Edgy PPC on Powerbook G4 17 (alsa? snd-aoa?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/64247 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
