Hi all First: I have an Alu Powerbook 1.25MHz (released 2003-09) with Debian testing, a 2.6.7-powerpc-kernel and KDE 3.2
I apt-getted the packages alsa-utils, alsa-base and alsa-oss. Further I loaded the modules snd, soundcore, snd-powermac and for OSS compatibility snd-mixer-oss, snd-pcm-oss and snd-seq-oss using modconf. I read several emails (debian-powerpc, debian-kde) about the ALSA installation on iBooks and Powerbooks and did a lot of internet research about this topic. Often the authors talk about different configuration files: /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 or /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 /etc/modutils/alsa /etc/asound.conf /etc/libao.conf I couldn't find any of these config files after the apt-get of alsa-utils, alsa-base and alsa-oss. Do I have to create these config files by hand or should they created automatically (alsaconf)? In KDE Control-Center / Sound-System / Hardware I have chosen ALSA (Quality Standard or 16bit) and get sound pushing the Key 'Sound testen' (german KDE). But, when I insert an audio cd and start KsCD, KsCD discover the audio cd and plays it, there is no sound at all. Playing mp3 files works great (xmms, kaboodle)! I read something that one have to enable a 'digital' mode in order to play audio cd's. What does this mean? How can I switch my cdrom from analog to digital? kind regards, Roland
