[Solved] Sound card not found after update

KimMC · posted: 2015-01-10 20:10

I have AntiX installed on an older laptop for my kids. First I'd like to say that we've been loving it! It makes this old pc very usable. Thanks!

The problem I'm having is that I recently had a chance to sit down and update their pc, now the sound card wont detect. When I boot into Win XP the sound works fine.

Windows shows the sound card as Realtek Ac'97 Audio PCI bus0, device 2 function 7.

When AntiX is booting it hangs and shows errors about mtp-prob no file or directory.

Can someone please help me figure out how to get AntiX to recognize the sound card again?

Thank You!
Kim

I'm going to guess the culprit is a package called oss-compat. If you remove that package, your boot hang should clear up and the sound card detection work again.

I keep forgetting about that one. Thanks for being the gate-keeper on that bug D.O. __{{emoticon}}__

I tried removing the oss-compat first and after rebooting the sound works just fine! Thank you everyone for helping. __{{emoticon}}__
