Package: debian-installer
Version: netboot mini-gtk 2012-04-03 X86-64
Severity: normal
When booting the CD, I press "s" and Enter to start software speech. I get
no sound. I have to go to a shell and run amixer. My sound card is a Sound
Blaster Audigy using the emu_10k1 module. Apparently, "Audigy/Analog
digital output jack" is set to on, which effectively mutes the card. This
is also a problem on the Audigy 2 card. By setting it to off, I can get
sound, but it's still inaudible. I have to set both the Master and PCM
playback volumes to 100,100 before I can hear anything. Even then, it's
very quiet. I fixed this on my regular Debian system and was eventually
able to mount the partition with my previous installation. Since alsactl is
present on the CD, I was able to restore my asound.state from my regular
system and finally got decent volume, but only after D-I got to the
partitioner. I would greatly appreciate it if something could be done to
fix this. As a sidenote, I copied my good asound.state to /var/lib/alsa on
the new install before I rebooted so I wouldn't have to go through the
configuration process for my sound card again. The following commands seem
to fix the problem:
amixer cset numid=214 off
amixer set Master playback 100,100
amixer set PCM playback 100,100
As per the instructions on the accessibility wiki page, I'm posting my
amixer output here and on the list. I can provide my asound.state if necessary.
