1 Hello,
2
3 I am running Gentoo on an AMD64 Sempron processor with an MSI K8MM-V
4 motherboard runnning a VIA K8M800 chipset. This is the lspci output about my
5 sound card:
6
7 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
8 VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
9 Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 0430
10 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 209
11 I/O ports at ec00 [size=256]
12 Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
13
14 The system has been running without any problems with udev-077 and alsa 1.0.9
15
16 Yesterday, I upgraded to udev-077-r1 as part of a normal 'update world'. I
17 shut off the system. Booted this morning only to find /dev/dsp missing and
18 alsasound giving errors about soundcard '0' being not found.
19
20 I tried to upgrade all the alsa packages (alsa-lib alsa-driver alsa-utils
21 alsa-jack alsa-oss) to 1.0.10. I have been using 1.0.9, because I get a very
22 very low volume, even with Master and PCM set to 100% with 1.0.10. Anyway,
23 even after upgrading and running alsaconf, I still had the same problem.
24
25 I decided to downgrade udev to 077, which I had been using till yesterday. It
26 worked, I got my /dev/dsp back and sound worked. But I still had to downgrade
27 alsa to 1.0.9 to solve the volume issue.
28
29 My question is, has anyone else seen this issue? Should I report this as a
30 bug?

33 Mrugesh
