[solved] broken ALSA : libasound.so.2 not found

[PhiX]

Hello everybody,

After the latest updates (dbus and ghostscript), alsa broke on my desktop.
The sound was working fine until I  happen to visit Tasma > sound&multimedia> Sound and get the following error messages.

"Impossible to find the secified arts library."

followed by :

"Impossible to load  Sound  module."

At the following reboot, I was welcomed by an error message from amarok, saying

"Xine couldn't initialze audio driver"

Since then, I got no sound and amarok, Kaffeine and MPlayer give the same error message :

impossible error - can't find 'libasound.so.2'
      3760:      impossible error - can't find 'libz.so.1'
      3760:      impossible error - can't find 'librt.so.1'
      3760:      impossible error - can't find 'libnsl.so.1'
      3760:      impossible error - can't find 'libasound.so.2'
      3760:      impossible error - can't find 'libc.so.6'

I tried to reinstall alsa-driver, alsamixer, kdemultimedia, amarok and tasma (from the command sudo pisi it --reinstall)with no luck.

I also ran alsaconf, but no sound.

Any ideas are welcome

libasound.so.2 is in "alsa-lib" package, you seem to have removed this package or it's broken.

Could you paste the output of;

Code:

pisi info alsa-lib -F|grep libasound

Reinstalling alsa-lib may solve the problem;

Code:

sudo pisi it alsa-lib --reins

Reinstalling alsa-lib did the trick, thanks a lot, Eren.Turkay !
