After my last update of alsa-utils the init script fails to load some modules so that /dev/dsp does not exist for example an apps like vmware do not have sound anymore. I looke dinto the script and found that it was trying to load modules like this: kernelsndmixer-oss kernelsndpcm-oss kernelsnd-seq-oss
Created attachment 200150 [details, diff] Fix for /etc/init.d/alsasound This patch fixes the script
It was fixed few days ago. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 259861 ***
