hello debian laptop list! i'm a complete linux newbie who's recently installed debian 2.2.17 on a toshiba tecra 8000. everything seems to have worked ok except for the soundcard. i use wmaker, and using the cdplayer or other sound utilities i get no sound whatsoever. when i run gnome-session, i get a string of error messages saying '\dev\dsp: no such device." when i run 'car \dev\sndstat' i show no drivers loaded.
so, all this leads me to believe i need to load a driver for the soundcard, which is a yamaha opl-sa3. however, i'm not sure how i do that! i tried running dselect, but i don't see any sound driver packages, and i'm kind of at a loss as to how to configure the sound driver. if someone could help me out, or point me towards a website that would help, i would really appreciate it! best, nick phillips -- +++http://f-matic.net++ +++audiovideotextstuff+
