ping on the above. For people who have not seen the bug here it's in short and sweet. This is my device list :- $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1705 Analog [VT1705 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: VT1705 HP [VT1705 HP] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 This is the error I get whenever I'm trying to play any sound. $ aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav aplay: main:682: audio open error: Device or resource busy Any ideas as to what could be making that device/resource busy ? I used an oldish kernel but still the issue remained, now on the current version for sid. $ apt-show-versions -a linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 install ok installed No stable version linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 testing http.debian.net linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 unstable http.debian.net linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64/testing uptodate 3.2.20-1 Looking forward to what the issue could be.
