After a routine upgrade it seems I don't have any sound devices any more.
More in detail:
* The driver for my card (RME HDSP MADI, snd_hdpsm) is loaded. * aplay -L tells me there is only the 'null' device. * (re)starting /etc/rc.d/alsa doesn't change things. * There is *no* /dev/pcm at all. * /sys/class/sound only has a link to a timer device. * No traces in dmesg or /var/log/messages of anything going wrong.
I suspect udev fails to do the right things.
* /etc/udev/rules.d is empty * /etc/udev/udev.conf contains only the line udev_log="err"
This is a professional studio and I'm expecting clients tomorrow at 09:00.
You could try udev from testing (I agree that probably udev is the culprit, though it has not been updated in core for some time).
But the whole boot system seems to have changed - this machine boots incredibly fast now (not that it matters, it's rebooted at most once in a week). Some new info: I get complaints from udev in /var/log/errors.log about files not being found in /lib/udev/rules.d. This would explain things I guess. But when I look in /lib/udev/rules.d those files *do* exist. So maybe things go a bit *too* fast (or out of order). If that is the case, what can be done about it ? I have to do a fresh install on 5 new machines (similar HW) later this week. I guess they will fail as well... P.S. I also tried udev .172 from AUR, same result. -- FA
