Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2 Severity: normal My system was working fine with Squeeze, all the way through to the final release. Sound works fine using the "NVidia CK804 with ALC850" integrated in my motherboard.
As soon as I upgraded to the wheezy testing release, however, the sound stopped working. KDE reported that "NVidia CK804 with ALC850" had been removed. It did, however, find "HDA ATI HDMI" which seems to be the HDMI port on my video card -- I believe that was also present under Squeeze but I can't be certain. The fix turned out to be to set "probe_mask=1" for snd-hda-intel in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. That then causes both the ALC850 and the HDMI port to be found. This seems to be some sort of regression in wheezy as I did not need to specify that in squeeze. -- Package-specific info: --- Begin additional package status --- Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===========================-===========================-====================================================================== ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applications --- End additional package status --- --- Begin /proc/asound/version --- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. --- End /proc/asound/version --- --- Begin /proc/asound/cards --- 0 [CK804 ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804 NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at irq 22 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xd1010000 irq 16 2 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 10 --- End /proc/asound/cards --- --- Begin /dev/snd/ listing --- total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Feb 26 00:52 by-path crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 7 Feb 26 00:52 controlC0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 10 Feb 26 00:52 controlC1 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 13 Feb 26 00:52 controlC2 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 9 Feb 26 00:52 hwC1D0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 12 Feb 26 00:52 midiC2D0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 6 Feb 26 00:52 pcmC0D0c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 5 Feb 26 00:55 pcmC0D0p crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 4 Feb 26 00:52 pcmC0D1c crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 3 Feb 26 00:52 pcmC0D2p crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 8 Feb 26 00:55 pcmC1D3p crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 11 Feb 26 00:52 seq crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 2 Feb 26 00:51 timer --- End /dev/snd/ listing --- -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE@euro, LC_CTYPE=en_IE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IE@euro) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alsa-base depends on: ii linux-sound-base 1.0.23+dfsg-2 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsof 4.81.dfsg.1-1 List open files ii module-init-tools 3.12-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 166-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages alsa-base recommends: ii alsa-utils 1.0.23-3 Utilities for configuring and usin Versions of packages alsa-base suggests: pn alsa-oss <none> (no description available) pn apmd <none> (no description available) ii oss-compat 0.0.4+nmu3 OSS compatibility package Versions of packages libasound2 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib -- Configuration Files: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf changed: install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0 install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1 install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2 install sound-slot-3 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-3 install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4 install sound-slot-5 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-5 install sound-slot-6 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-6 install sound-slot-7 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-7 install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; } install snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; } install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; } options bt87x index=-2 options cx88_alsa index=-2 options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2 options snd-intel8x0m index=-2 options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2 options snd-pcsp index=-2 options snd-usb-audio index=-2 options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
