Hello,
after an upgrade of diverse packages"sudo apt-get upgrade", the sound is gone: how to bring it back?
Few advices where to start would be appreciated.
My version of antix is
uname -r
3.7.10-antix.3-486-smp

do you get any hang ups at boot?

first thing to try is to
I lost sound on my last upgrade and removing this package helped. although I am running a different kernel than you, so YMMV.

The sound card was not recognized anymore and it was hanging up.
I re-installed antix again and it is running again.
Next time I will try your proposal when I will upgrade.
Thanks.

I had the same problem as floppy - sound card not recognised - and I'm on the same kernel. I took up dolphin_oracle's suggestion and removed oss-compact. After a full shut-down-and-reboot (not just the 'reboot' option), the speaker icon reappeared and the sound works once more. Thanks, dolphin_oracle.

Thanks dolphin_oracle, you are right!
There were hang ups during boots. After removing oss-compat and shut down/reboot the sound appeared again. I did not try a simple reboot.
My mache is ThinkPad T41, kernel is 3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp.
