I also get that when i try to play a sound file with aplay. Mplayer and Quodlibet work fine. Im not sure where to start. Trouble shooting.

i'd try rebooting or restarting alsasound, or maybe rebuilding all the alsa stuff (alsa-lib, alsa-oss, alsa-utils, alsa-tools, alsa-pcm-plugins, etc, etc)... there was a change in alsa-pcm-plugins that causes this problem. i ended up downgrading all my alsa stuff back to 1.0.14-something, but that's partially because of an arts CPU usage issue.

cheers

edit: i'd try tossing out your ~/.asoundrc / /etc/alsa/asound.conf files, or etc-updating too.

That didnt work. how would i go about downgradeing all of alsa? Will i need to recompile my sound modules?

Thanks fixed it for me.

Do you know if a bug report was filed?

i had this issue as well and regressing to alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc3 worked for me as well.

Simply do this:

Code: Select all

echo ">media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

should do the trick. It will append the mask to your file and wont overwrite anything.
