[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

alsa works fine here Alsa tends to break for some people with every major release, so manual fixing is needed. Alsa never worked perfectly and will not in the future, that is what i can tell ya from the past 5 years. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

what is your suggestion instead of ALSA? There is no sugesstion, there is no sound framework working for all. That's only my observation that sound is always broken for someone. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

Do you already tried with alsaconf? -- Arch Linux Developer http://www.archlinux.org

You could also try OSS v4. http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2009/06/state-of-sound-in-linux-not-so-sorr... Note the special mention of Arch in there :) Dieter

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)
I had it too but I ran alsaconf and problem fixed On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Roman Kyrylych<roman.kyrylych@gmail.com> wrote:

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/

Was you only problem the asound.state (i.e. the saved mixer settings)? 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.
