It appears to be something in the alsa-git-2005-11-07.patch that was posted to LKML on 11/07/05: subject: [ALSA UPDATE] 1.0.10rc3 message-id: Applying this alsa update to 2.6.14 also renders the card silent. The card is visible in /proc/asound/cards, alsamixer sees it and I can adjust the volume, but I get no sound from xmms, mplayer, etc. I tried enabling alsa debug and verbose printk but I was unable to find any additional messages from dmesg or in any log files. The card is a Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live 24-bit external. I'm using the SPDIF output to run sound through a home theater system. I'm running debian unstable on a Toshiba laptop. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- afran - 12-31-05 08:56 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Just wanted to let you know, I've got the same problem here with my Terratec Phase 26 USB (since kernel release 2.6.15-rc1, now running 2.6.14.4 and ALSA 1.0.10rc1 without problems): Everything loads up fine but no sound is played, not even at the card's own headphone connector (so it's not a problem with SPDIF). But there is some other yet similar problem, I've recognized earlier, perhaps connected to this one: Sometimes (perhaps once in 2 weeks, happens quite randomly) everything would load up fine, but the card would not give any sound (as above). When this happens I have to plug the card's USB cable and reconnect (just resetting volume level and mute doesn't work, I've not been able to check whether reloading the driver as kernel module would help). Unfortunately, I've not been able to reproduce the latter problem as it seems to be happening without any clue as to what may have caused it, plus it only occurs very seldomly, about every 30th or 40th reboot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bryanr - 01-04-06 09:58 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Effects Edirol UA-5 as well. Can be temporarily repaired by applying alsa-usbaudio-2.6.15-revert-001.patch to kernel.org 2.6.15 (reverts all of alsa-git-2005-11-07-usbaudio.patch except for its vmalloc/vfree changes, which are needed in 2.6.15). I am currently narrowing down which specific chunk(s) within that patch are responsible.
