Dear list,
I am struggling with sound on a Lombard G3 running Debian unstable and
kernel 2.4.23-pre5-ben.
In order to hear sound, I need to do after every restart:
cat /vmlinux > /dev/dsp
Is there a solution to this?
PROBLEM: cannot play music cd's
Xmms version 1.2.8 is installed but fails to play music cd's.
Alsaplayer version 0.99.75 is installed but won't even start up
(returning error: "Invalid config file").
