Subject: Bug#710221: alsa-utils: No sound after fresh install

From: Marc <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 10:11:37 +0200

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.23-3
Severity: wishlist

It happen on several computers with Wheezy.
alsa-utils 1.0.25-4
All work fine after:
# alsactl init 0
(As /proc/asound/cards reported my sound card was id 0)
Maybe it's possible to add a initialization line in the
postinst script ?
Maybe not, because we need to know the sound card id.
Thanks&Regards,
Marc
