No sound. It seems your salvation is my misfunction :-( .

The error message during boot says:
udev [473] /sbin/modprobe -b pci.000<very>

And no soundcard detected (my nifty mixer application didn't start).
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

Yes, oss-compat is installed. It was updatet to version 3, but downgrading it to version 2 (testing) does not solve the problem. Uninstalling it isn't a real option as my mixer application (wmmixer) and some other applications like notedit depend on it.

Any other option?

BTW: I now discoverd an other error message during boot stating something like 'alsa restore' failed and alsa coudn't find a soundcard :-(

A simple dist-upgrade changes nothing here...
No sound and lots of "Audio hardware removeed - Audio Geräte wurden entfernt"

Should I try this (from gilpier)?

I restore everything inside /etc/modprobe.d and remove only alsa-base.conf.
Now it is working well. It seems that the problem is in module alsa-base.conf.

Saving away oss-compat.conf
Code: [Select]
# mv /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf.saveis a workaround. In essence it's the same as uninstalling oss-compat, exept you do not loose some applications, but they won't work now.

So not a real solution but a temporary workaround as now the soundcard is found and works (unfortunatly here without my preferred mixer).


EDIT://
Here the solution is as follows:
- remove/save away /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf
- then install oss-compat 2
(apt-get install oss-compat/testing)

This will create a working oss-compat.conf which is different from the one created by version 3. Reinstalling the testing version without beforehand manually removing the oss-compat.conf created by version 3 didn't work here (see above)!

Now my oss-compat depending mixer is working again.

Ok then once we do that should we put oss-compat on hold to prevent oss-compat 3 from installing (at least till the issues with it are fixed)

Yes,  but there are a few audio mixer apps that still depend on it. Hopefully some people could badger the apps' developers to change things so that oss-compat is just a recommends as its main use is to allow some old sound hardware and apps that are not alsa-aware to still work with latest alsa

*I* do. But I'm not sure it's a solution for everyone (musca claimed oss-compat 3 to be the solution, which for me is the problem). But I am thinking about filing a bug report.

What about wmmixer under fluxbox or notedit?

Alternatives for notedit
« Reply #25 on: 2013/06/26, 13:59:06 »
hello michaa7,
oss is deprecated and as you now see it is badly maintained.

notedit after a long discussion was removed from debian more than two years ago.
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560079
There are canorus and nted packaged in debian.

cheers!

Neither nted nor canorus is a full replacement of notedit and my wmmixer simply is the best (=small and handy) mixer in Debian.
So I need oss-compat (but wasn't aware of until yesterday ).

How is oss-compat 3 a solution for you if you don't need it?

I checked its changelog, and it closes bug #660803.
But indeed it is no solution, i admit.

Perhaps some one should open a new bug report referencing the old one and stating that the oss-compat 3 version still has issues that need further investigation

I thought of opening a new thread -- but this may be a related problem.  My main desktop system is now booting without the snd_hda_intel module loaded.  But I can modprobe it, then I have sound.  The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is, yesterday I upgraded the systemd packages, which were previously on hold.
