I am not sure if you have come across this debian wiki page before but it has notes on sound relating to mac mini. From http://wiki.debian.org/PowerpcSoundcards: Mac Mini * There is no mixer on this chipset, so all mixing and volume controls have to be done in software. * No Analog CD output, no analog inputs at all. * Moved to a new driver, snd-aoa. Guess you might have to try out the 'snd-aoa' driver. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
