[SOLVED] alsa-plugins 1.2.1-4 breaks sound

Disclaimer:  ALSA has always worked 'out of the box' for me, so my knowledge of Linux sound system(s) is just about nil.

Problem:  after upgrading alsa-plugins, I don't have sound anymore; trying to change the sound card in amixer doesn't work.

Pre update:

aplay -l

Same here, I don't even noticed the update because I rarely listen to music, but the other day tried playing a video and got the same error hmm

Re: [SOLVED] alsa-plugins 1.2.1-4 breaks sound

Todays alsa-plugins and lib32-alsa-plugins also broke my sound.
When trying to open cmus I got

dsp_protocol_open_node(): Could not open pcm device file /dev/dsptask/pcm2

Alsamixer also defaulted to another device.
I first tried to delete /etc/alsa/conf.d/98-maemo.conf since it points to this dsptask thing from the errmsg, this didn't solve the issue so I restored the file.

I've been able to partially solve the problem by downgrading alsa-plugins and lib32-alsa-plugins to the previous packages.

speaker-test -c 2

and also cmus works, but I'm still not getting sound from youtube videos in firefox etc.

Output from fuser -v /dev/snd/*

Re: [SOLVED] alsa-plugins 1.2.1-4 breaks sound

@raflemarkt That problem happens because you misconfigured cmus, configure it to use pulse and/or install pulseaudio-alsa, you can't have something occupy a audio device and then play something over that same device via pulseaudio.

@Thread there was an update that should fix this.: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65440 make sure you get alsa-plugins 1.2.1-5

Hey, same issue here. Updated this morning, I saw programs segfaulting randomly and found the same dsp_protocol_open_node() error message.

Please refrain from me too posts, if you've updated to 1.2.1-5 and still see the issue mention that in the mentioned bug report.
