I hope to have some time to test tomorrow. After a second a look, this patch won't help. The problem is that your dpkg-divert leaves alsa with an invalid config: $ amixer info ALSA lib conf.c:3639:(config_file_open) cannot access file /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulse.conf ALSA lib conf.c:3559:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:4013:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing configuration amixer: Control device default open error: No such file or directory According to #915696, configs in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d are no longer automatically loaded. So now you want to remove your diversion and delete the symlink in /etc instead. Still, mixer should handle cases when its backend fails to initialize. Ross
