Help! my audio has stopped working.
Here is the relevant part of my .xsession-errors file:


ALSA lib confmisc.c:670snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3500_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver re
turned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:391snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings

d error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3500_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned

ALSA lib pcm.c:2143snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

** (gnome-session:4081): WARNING **: Esound failed to start.


I am running etch on a laptop with an intel 945gm chipset.
It was working fine before I restored my packages & config files from a prev
ious installation (on the same machine). Which is strange because the sound 
was working OK on the previous installation aswell.
lsmod shows these drivers are loaded:


snd_hda_intel          17332  0
snd_hda_codec         137856  1 snd_hda_intel

soundcore               9248  1 snd
snd_page_alloc          9640  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm


Can anyone point me in the right direction?

/proc/asound/cards and all files/directories in /proc/asound

You should not copy files between machines if you dont check what they
have before you copy.
You should manually change files, or at least save a copy of old one
before overwriting.

Good luck

I didn't touch the /proc folder, I only copied my home folder and changed a 
few lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make compiz work.

n't write to /proc ???

You can't, as it it is built from OS and ALSA drivers.

Joe, are your user in the audio group?  Try command 'groups' and see
if you have audio there.
If not, try 'addgroup user audio', where user is your account name.

Good luck.

I've got similar problems.

alsaconf

alsactl store

I've got to run those two commands as root every time I restart my
computer. I have no idea why, but it sounds like it could help you.

Try to run alamixer from terminal.

You also might need as root run 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow alsa'  or some
other alsa-package.  Not at my computer right now, so I cant check.
This will reconfigure your package.  So you can tell other answers to
pages.
