Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 Version: 2.6.24-2 Severity: normal
With the upgrade to linux-image-2.6.24-1-686, sound no onger works on this machine. Strting KDE gives me the artsmessage "Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)" It does work properly with the previous kernels, including 2.6.22-3-686. lspci lists: '$ lspci |grep audio 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI Audio Accelerator'

Rob, Does /dev/dsp reappear if you run the following? # modprobe snd-pcm-oss

while I'm not a Debian user, I think I am able to point you at the potentional root of this problem. I saw following line your dmesg: Maestro3: probe of 0000:00:0d.0 failed with error -2
The cause is probably the missing firmware for your card. The firmware can be either embedded into the kernel or distributed alone, depending on the CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL kernel config option. See following lines from kernel's sound/pci/maestro3.c: 61 #ifndef CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL 62 MODULE_FIRMWARE("ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw"); 63 MODULE_FIRMWARE("ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw"); 64 #endif
So in order for this card to work, you need either package with firmware (alsa-firmware usually) or CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL option enabled. I guess Debian switched this option from yes to no between kernel versions.
I am also left with a mute laptop, a HP 6100 with ESS Technology ES1988 Allegro-1 (rev 12) sound chip. Matěj Laitl seems to be spot in his post since in I found this in Debian kernel changelog :
While I understand and support the whole "up yours, binary only firmwares" view, I also do like having sound. Is there any chance of getting the needed firmware in kernel or as a module in Debian. Package alsa-firmware-loaders doesn't seem to handle a module for these chips.

This is not the right package, the right one is just "alsa-firmware", which is evidently not packaged in Debian. You can get it from the alsa project, e.g.: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/
Please note that this package does not contain the module, only firmware, which is needed by the in-kernel module. (The firmware needs to be installed somewhere where the kernel finds it, usually something like this: /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw)

So now I've got to recompile my kernel just to have sound? How nice. I haven't had to do that since about 1998. I guess this is good enough reason as any to remove Debian from my laptop. Sad too, it's been Debian since before Woody was released.

You do not need to recompile the kernel, you need the appropriate binary firmware blob. Get the firmware package
