Alsa not found sound card after udev upgrade [solved]

juozapas · 2010-02-13 16:01:29

Hi,

after pacman -Syu upgrade alsa cant found my sound card. It first came with udev-151-2 version and i thinked thats some bug but now with udev-151-3 same problem. If i downgrade to udev-146 everythings work fine.

I'm testing it by http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Adv … chitecture .

!!!

So this is it, nothing in /dev/snd directory.

My /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf looks good:

[juozapas@j-pc ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf 
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

I also have this module loaded in rc.conf

I can't run alsamixer (directory good):

[juozapas@j-pc ~]$ /usr/bin/alsamixer 
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

If i try restart alsa (same error as starting alsa from rc.conf):

[juozapas@j-pc ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart

Udev running:

[juozapas@j-pc ~]$ ps -e | grep udev
  891 ?        00:00:00 udevd
 3291 ?        00:00:00 udevd
 3662 ?        00:00:00 udevd

I tried to load modules by hand - same problem.

I'm in audio group:

[juozapas@j-pc ~]$ groups
uucp dbus hal audio optical storage camera power juozapas

My dmesg http://pastebin.com/m3619e646

My sound card is integrated (motherboard Asus P5K).

Thanks for your help.

Same problem here on a asus eeepc 1101ha. Any luck figuring it out?

lilsirecho · 2010-02-21 17:34:01

Perhaps install udev-compat?

udev-compat is already installed.
I don't know is this the same problem but gtkam can't find my camera (nikon coolpix l19). I think it's also after udev upgrade.

demizer · 2010-03-04 03:27:23

This is my exact problem. Have you figured it out yet? I'm hitting walls. Edit, udev-compat is not working for me.

no. just using oss instead of alsa.

I also have no sound, after an upgrade:

[dave@starbuck ~]$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

I've noticed my system has items in /dev/control*, and not /dev/snd...

[dave@starbuck ~]$ ls -l /dev/control*
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 9 Mar  7 08:04 /dev/controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 4 Mar  7 08:04 /dev/controlC1
[dave@starbuck ~]$ ls -l /dev/snd/*
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar  7 08:04 pci-0000:00:06.0 -> ../../controlC0

Any ideas?

Same problem here.

Dave Cohen · 2010-03-11 20:58:00

I got my sound back by upgrading my kernel. I had added "IgnorePkg = kernel26" to my /etc/pacman.conf, because a past kernel upgrade caused me a lot of grief. I removed that line, upgraded, and alsa appears to be making sound now.

Ewan · 2010-03-11 21:00:14

I also got it working from the info this thread:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=714325

The solution for me was reinstalling udev-compat and rebooting.

For me it didn't help. Still same problem

luuuciano · 2010-04-04 15:48:22

I have tried almost everything I found in forum, wiki, etc... Im using oss too

idjut · 2010-04-15 08:14:49

Same here. No updates on this?

juozapas · 2010-08-01 09:29:37

i reinstalled kernel26 and now alsa works again

Ignoring kernel upgrades will lead to broken things, sooner or later.

juozapas, glad you got it working, please ,mark the thread as [solved]
