I found my mediaserver with ubuntu 16.04 suddenly having problems with audio.
Running aplay -l I was getting
ALSA lib conf.c:3357:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
ALSA lib control.c:954:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0
I tried to reinstall pulse & alsa, but no luck. Upgrading to 17.10 hasn't been useful on this problem.
But then I found that the pulseaudio & libasound packages installed on my system was for i386 arch, despite of my system running on with 64bit arch.
There hasn't been any way to restore 64bit version through apt, I had to access ubuntu mirrors and download those packages (and the related dependencies) manually: by installing these through dpkg I finally managed to have the audio device correctly working.
My question is: how could it be happened? how could I restore to a normal condition? my first concern is the next update I will need to install for those packages: I guess apt will try to remove amd64 version and to install i386 one at the first update of one of the interested packages.
The only option I have in mind would be to go through a new clean installation...
