[SOLVED] sound lost since last upgrade

I did an upgrade last night and since then my audio has stopped working...

every time I boot up into KDE... I get a notification ( from kmix I assume ) my 2 playback devices are not working...

I get no audio output from either of my soundcards...

I've not changed any settings and can't figure out what the problem is...

any suggestions?

I am in the audio group

thanks

my config ( still working on this )

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "duplex"
}

pcm.non_block_duplex {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "duplex"
}

pcm.duplex {
    type asym
    playback.pcm "dmixer"
    capture.pcm "dsnooper"
}

pcm.dmixer {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1234
    slave {
        pcm "hw:1,0"
        rate 44100
    }
}

pcm.dsnooper {
    type dsnoop
    ipc_key 1234
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"
    }
}

Maybe it's the udev upgrade: OSS emulation modules are not loaded by default, add to rc.conf if needed.

Re: [SOLVED] sound lost since last upgrade

embarrassing as this is...

I have a Asus Xonar D2X as my second sound card...

it requires extra power...

somehow the power cable that provides extra... wasn't correctly inplace... *confused*

wiggled that back in and it's fine now

I apologize

thanks anyways
