Description:

I am truely have no idea how alsa works, so getting enough information will be hard if I am the only one with the problem.

When I attempt to use amixer (or alsamixer) I get the following output:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:121:(snd_dlsym_verify)
unable to verify version for symbol _snd_ctl_pulse_open
ALSA lib control.c:870:(snd_ctl_open_conf)
symbol _snd_ctl_pulse_open is not defined inside
/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so
cannot open mixer: No such device or address

I am using PulseAudio, and my sound works fine, I can control my audio with Xfce4-mixer and Pulse's pavucontrol. I have no problems with my audio at all, only the Alsa Utils when trying to change volume.

Any feedback welcome.

Additional info:
alsactl 1.0.22-2
alsalib 1.0.22-1
alsaplugins 1.0.22-1
pulseaudio 0.9.21-4
pavucontrol 0.9.10-1
xfce4-mixer 4.6.1-1
This task depends upon

Sorry, didn't know this system striped whitespace (stupid btw), here's the output again.

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:121:(snd_dlsym_verify) unable to verify version for symbol _snd_ctl_pulse_open
ALSA lib control.c:870:(snd_ctl_open_conf) symbol _snd_ctl_pulse_open is not defined inside /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device or address


Also, I get this error both as a user in group alsa and as root.

Reassigning to pulseaudio maintainer, errors indicate problems with pulseaudio.

I've run into a new problem that might be related... I have "Multiply-claimed blocks"

Files /bin/enchant and /lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_vdownmix.so are in shared blocks.

I'll report back when I have fixed the error.

Well I think I fixed my inode problem, but if someone could point me to some documentation that would be great.

I am still getting an error with 'amixer', but the dlmisc.c error is gone. Output now:

ALSA lib control.c:867:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device or address

This bug can be closed, the reason for failure had to do with the "Multiply-claimed blocks"

I am currently using Ext4 on that partition, so there may be an error there or it just from dropping my laptop too often.

(To fix the Error I reinstalled the alsa-plugins and pulseaudio packages)
