After upgrade to Debian 10 there is no sound any more with HDA Intel. In the KDE settings the internal sound is greyed out. The hardware seems to be recognized by ALSA but cannot be used. What have to be done? alsaplayer works with no error but there is no sound. Cheers karsten
Hello Debian maintainer, i don't want to criticize you, but there is no progress in this and other bugs like this any more. The problem is that i am still working with Debian 8 (Jessie) on my desktop, because there are fundamental problems in Debian 9 & 10 desktop systems that will prevent to use ist, like a missing sound. It's not a problem to use newer versions of Debian in server systems, because there is no need of a desktop. But when you want to have Multimedia and other features like working with 2 screens then only Debian 8 is working with all features. I think this is not your fault - is it possible that newer Versions after Debian 8 (Jessie) are not as stable as the years before any more? It's like a step back to the roots in the history, where video and sound problems are a nightmare after each upgrade of a system. When you agree, what can be done? Best regards karsten

Sorry for the really late answer, but there was no email notification for the answer on this bug. ii timidity 2.14.0-8 amd64 Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player) ii timidity-daemon 2.14.0-8 all runs TiMidity++ as a system-wide MIDI sequencer
That's the working configuration in Debian 9 with sound on the same Laptop but other partition. (There are problems on the Desktop PC with Debian 10 too in pulseaudio. It seems that Debian 9 was the last Debian distribution with sound ...) ii timidity 2.13.2-40.5 amd64 Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player) ii timidity-daemon 2.13.2-40.5 all runs TiMidity++ as a system-wide MIDI sequencer **** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (PLAYBACK) **** Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 0: STAC9205 Analog [STAC9205 Analog] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 1: STAC9205 Digital [STAC9205 Digital] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 default Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse PulseAudio Sound Server sysdefault:CARD=Intel HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog Front speakers surround21:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog 2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output dmix:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog Direct sample mixing device dmix:CARD=Intel,DEV=1 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Digital Direct sample mixing device dsnoop:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog Direct sample snooping device dsnoop:CARD=Intel,DEV=1 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Digital Direct sample snooping device hw:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=Intel,DEV=1 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Digital Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Analog Hardware device with all software conversions plughw:CARD=Intel,DEV=1 HDA Intel, STAC9205 Digital Hardware device with all software conversions

I have no idea when timidity is used, but i installed the packages https://www.joonet.de/sources/timidity/debian_buster/timidity_2.14.0-9~bpo10u1_amd64.deb https://www.joonet.de/sources/timidity/debian_buster/timidity-daemon_2.14.0-9~bpo10u1_all.deb This fixed the problem and the sound is working now. This bug should be moved to timidity, it is not a problem of ALSA. Best regards karsten
