When this happens, move /etc/init.d/alsa-utils to a backup folder somewhere else, and reboot.
Once you boot, copy it back to alsa-utils, run alsamixer to set up your audio again, and you should be good to go.
This happens to me frequently...

Hey Guys,
Not sure if these are all the same, but for me. I tried the .asoundrc file with no luck. my chipset is a Cmedia and on a X-plosion 7.1 card.
I just hit ctl-alt-f2 and ran alsa mixer and although the PCM output was not muted the Volume was set to zero. I turned up the volume on that channel and voila I have all my analog audio back as well as my DD and DTS pass-through.
This is with the Live Version on a Sancruiser 2Gb USB stick.

Oh God, after 5 days nearly throwing my computer through the window and two re-installs later I found this thread. My sound issues are all fixed. Stupid alsa bug and bumb me for not seeing an sticky thread!!! ;-)
Just wanted to say thanks to all! you just save me of yet another reinstall :-) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to add something useful to the thread this has happened to me in both my 32 and 64 ubuntu installs. So I guess both 32 and 64 alsa packages are hit by this. Btw, is there an alsa bug ticket for this problem I can follow?
regards,

Is there a file we can backup/restore when this issue occurs? I just had this happen to me today. The steps worked but I would like something more automated when it breaks.

Storage: Synology DS2415+, DS1815+

Argh! This issue was so annoying! Glad the sticky post was here so I only wasted an hour - but man that is a weird bug. The sequence above fixed my problem - I am running SPDIF only and MP3s and the menu sounds were not working.

xnappo: I also run spdif only, but i have xbmc audio out set to plughw:0,1 (which is my iec959 device) and passthrough set to iec958. That way incompatible samples (non 44.1/48Khz) get converted and sound plays also fine for youtube for example. ac3 goes directly through the iec958 device so it can be decoded by the avr.
i had that weird bug only once - and 'iecset audio on' fixed it for me.

Hi Guys
Did all the above suggestions but none worked. I have no sound in any part of the OS (including xbmc of course)...alsamixer shows the iec958 as unmuted and full volume. i think the alsa ver is 1.0.17..should i try an upgrade?
any ideas where to go next..?
thx
Zeltak
