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?

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

that's not just about sound. something is always broken for someone. but the reasons are different.

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.
