I'm having a very strange issue.I was trying to run kega fusion when I noticed there was no sound! I kept trying to fix it when I realized it might be something to do with my audio drivers.
SO I went and checked out alsa settings and found to my surprise that speaker-test doesn't work at all! No sound!
I can play music over VLC and watch youtube videos on chrome and firefox, but Kega-fusion and speaker-test both play no audio!
Keep in mind that kega fusion is an i386 package (and obviously I'm running a 64 bit OS) so maybe there's an architecture issue going on?
Then again, isn't speaker-test 64 bit?
Please, help!

I want to output sound out of my HDMI port on my GPU, not headphones, etc.

https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=7422.0 maybe.
-
I did that and that fixed pulseaudio (I can now listen to music through VLC and chrome and firefox) but kega-fusion and speaker-test are broken
-
Is there some way I could fix the broken symlinks? I really want sound in emulators
-
Maybe a downgrade of libasound2-plugins and corresponding packages to testing helps, maybe!
but be careful, read what wants to go if there are some packages that wants to go!
-
How do I downgrade a package?
-
What do I type in to downgrade libasound plugins (or whatever) to the previous version?
-
Add the testing sources and install from there.
But if you don't know how to do, you should not do this. Than it is better to wait till it is fixed, be patient.
I think this is the best solution, because there are :1386 packages involved too and there it starts to get ......
-
basicaly:
apt install -t testing libasound2/testing libasound2-plugins/testing libasound2-data/testing
-
delete devil beat me to it
-
root@gek-pc:/etc/alsa/conf.d/broken_sym_links# apt install -t testing libasound2/testing libasound2-plugins/testing libasound2-data/testingReading package lists... Done
E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
root@gek-pc:/etc/alsa/conf.d/broken_sym_links#
that's what happens on my machine
-
manually put testing in sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
apt update; apt install -t testing libasound2/testing libasound2-plugins/testing libasound2-data/testing
if using multiarch, especially with anything wine, these will remove
libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libopenal1:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libsndio7.0:i386 winetricks wine-staging wine-staging-i386:i386 winehq-staging
your best bet would be mv /etc/alsa/conf.d{,_bak} reboot
-
so this is what the line looks likedeb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free?
-
the downgrade is working I think... I will reboot my computer and see if it is fixed!
-
I have rebooted and yes, it sort of fixed the problem, but kega-fusion still doesn't work
I am loading my backup
let this be a lesson- ALWAYS keep clones of your ENTIRE linux install. You NEVER KNOW when apt full-upgrade will just RANDOMLY BREAK your favorite packages
-
kega-fusion is not in debian, so not supported, your on your own
https://wiki.debian.org/Emulator
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&keywords=kega-fusion
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/kega-fusion
-
Nothing is randomly broken, there is a warning on the forum about this and about the perl transition.
-
I have successfully loaded my backup and everything is wonderful again
I will check warnings before upgrading in the future
-
Can you guys tell me when the issue is fixed with alsa?
-
Kega fusion has a .deb package available for download...
-
a .deb package does not mean it is in debian repos, I gave you links earlier
What you did was download .deb from a third party source
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
-
Yeah, but the kega fusion debian script is safe, the problem is this alsa update, not kega fusion
Not to mention, I can remove it if it's really a problem
-
In fact, I had removed kega fusion from my system after the update broke alsa and therefore kega fusion
I'm considering switching emulators, though, because installing .debs from third parties is wonky
-
Can you guys tell me when the issue is fixed with alsa?
It could be tomorrow, next week, next year
sid is sid (https://www.debian.org/releases/sid/)
siduction is based on sid ... patience
