[mythtv-users] OT: Sound Hosed

[Michael Starks]

I realize this is not mythtv specific but I know a lot of people here 
have experience with this type of issue, so please forgive the OT post..

Last night I did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.  It updated 
ivtv, ALSA and a few other things.  After rebooting, I had no sound. 
Looking in the logs seems to indicate that ALSA is no longer finding my 
sound card, even though /etc/modules.conf was untouched.  I tried 
switching to Red Hat's native sound (atRTS or something like that) and 
it complained that it couldn't find /dev/dsp.  I checked and it was 
there with the correct permissions.  I then tried downgrading ALSA to 
pre a 1.0 version but no-go.  Any ideas?

Lesson for the day:  When something is working don't touch it. 
MUST...NOT...TINKER....WHEN....I...DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I'M DOING...
