alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #142 was edited from sambo57u: I use Fedora 34 and updated alsa-lib and all other alsa products to version 1.2.5. They work fine on my desktop machines but on Lenovo laptop I am getting the message alsactl cannot find hw:0 and daemon deactivates with no devices showing. Downgrading to 1.2.4 solves the problem.
