tahrPup 6.05 lost sound

[fernan]

Hello. One of my 4 computers running tahrpup 6.05 developed a problem: Sound card is not recognized anymore ("no sound device detected"), but if I boot in RAM mode, ignoring my session, it works OK.

Is there any config file that I should remove to force a new auto detection, same what happens in a fresh install?

Thanks !

You could try installing apulse which has worked for me on slacko

and the sound card was detected by the same setup before this problem began?

Yes, everything was working, but one day I realized the "Retrovol" icon was slashed, and when tried to adjust the volume setting, I saw the sound card is not detected.

Rebooted in RAM mode, and the sound card is detected. Rebooted with my saved session, no sound card detected .

Any ideas? Should I delete some Alsa config files to force a new auto detect?

I managed to solve this problem and wanted to share the solution, just in case somebody looks for this answer in the future.

I deleted the 2 following files:

Code: Select all

/etc/asound.conf

Code: Select all

/etc/asound.state

After a reboot, my soundcard was detected again.

I'm pretty sure reinstalling apulse as i suggested would've done the same thing
