I have had no sound in my Debian Squeeze, since a Feb.,2011 "update." My sound card is a Echo MiaMidi... I have been corresponding with the author of the driver... I have not heard back from him (for some reason; & I'm suspecting his email filter may be preempting my emails... ???). In any case, I have tried to update my alsa driver (as Giuliano suggested), & get the following result... which looks to me like some kind of kernel problem (as evidenced from the last few lines in the terminal output, pasted below), which I don't know how to resolve (my sound worked more or less fine, for several years, until this mentioned "update."). Perhaps Giuliano will (still) be monitoring this list, & know that I was trying, via PM to reply to him (perhaps he is just busy, or some other thing?), & someone here on the alsa list might have some ideas as to what is going on here, what I might do, or try to get my sound back again?
