With different version of an ALSA driver, the way it sees the mixer might change, so that old saved settings will not apply for the newer driver. It's only a matter of opening alsamixer, setting everything up as you want, and running "alsactl store" at the end. Depending on the driver it might happen from time to time. > At first, I thought it was just my problem, because I use the softvol plugin. > This gave me trouble in the past. > A friend of mine reported the same experience, so someone else had audio > problems on upgrade as well. -- damjan

I had problems with alsa in Feb and I changed to OSSv4. The only think I miss is a simpler tray mixer just to control the virtual mixer vmix0-outvol. But sound itself is great! -- Malformed message exception => Guilherme M. Nogueira => http://nirev.org/

I had the same, but there's a positive side: now I don't have useless channels in alsamixer, and can tune each of my headphone output jacks (have 2 of them on my laptop) separately. No wonder that such changes in a number of channels required asound.state update. Warning about unknown card was confusing though. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

There is no sugesstion, there is no sound framework working for all.

[arch-general] sound busted after upgrade to kernel 2.6.30?
My sound was busted yesterday when I upgraded from kernel 2.6.29 to 2.6.30. I had to regenerate my asound.state. At first, I thought it was just my problem, because I use the softvol plugin. This gave me trouble in the past. A friend of mine reported the same experience, so someone else had audio problems on upgrade as well. What happened to ALSA? Did anyone else have the same trouble? Regards, -- Chris
