I have been using this system for months, no problem (and many distros before), but a few days ago sound stopped working, probably after an update. I have an SB Live, I'm running Debian testing AMD64 kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP. lspci shows the card: 01:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) cat /proc/asound/modules gives no output modprobe snd-emu10k1 gives no output I tried: aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 libasound2 which didn't change anything. alsamixer says: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory cat /proc/asound/cards says: --- no soundcards --- lsmod output: http://pastebin.ca/1365747 dmesg output: http://pastebin.ca/1365751 line 757 of dmesg seems relevant (and a few before that). It also has an onboard audio card which is disabled in BIOS. I tried an Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, it didn't detect the card. I removed the card, cleaned it up, placed it back in (in case it was dirt or it needed reseating). Still no luck. Dead card? I don't know what else to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
