No sound with ALSA after dist-update

[tutuca]

Hi. I have this hardware listed here http://hwdb.ubuntu.com/?xml=46cd1265887cc11cda3b8c3820970c3e

Specifically the problem is with my sound card: an integrated Nforce2, after the update to edgy all the system sound stopped working. If i test the sound with the alsa driver it gives me this output
[code]audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: No se pudo abrir el recurso para escritura.[/code]

"Can't open resource for writing".

With OSS it works but very noisy, but still no system sound, (no alerts or greeting, etc).

Please let me know what can I do to workaround it or if I missed some info.
Thanks in advance.

Matías.
PD: Let me know if you don't understand, because English is not my first language and may be I didn't make myself clear. Thanks again

Workaround to solve it:
On a terminal type: asoundconf reset-default-card

Still I don't know what caused it.

Thanks for your bug report. how was the system upgraded apt-get/synaptic/adept/update-manager -c)? Could you please include the logs from /var/log/dist-upgrade/

I've upgraded trough gksudo "update-manager -c", I haven't got other problem than this. Here are my logs. Thanks for the feedback

What version of Alsa caused the problem? Is it still a problem with Alsa 1.0.16?

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task.

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New".

Thanks,
Markus
