I have recently installed potato. I have been having some problems with sound. Currently, I have the alsa packages installed, including the alsa version of esound. I have followed the directions for installing the alsa, i.e. editted the /etc/modules.conf. Here are some of the problems I am experiencing: When logged in as a regular user, launching a mixer application gives me the error message "No mixers found. Make sure you have sound support compiled into kernel." However when I am root, I am able to start a mixer. In fact, after rebooting I have to start sound as root and then log in as a user. Also, XMMS runs fine with the eSound plugin, but not the OSS driver. Freeamp works with both the alsa and eSound plugin, but not soundcard.pmo.
I'd like to thank all those who replied to me previous questions. Also, thanks to all the developers and bug testers who have made Debian possible. Since, potato is still frozen I was not sure if this was the appropriate list to post to. If not I apologize. Thanks -- Christopher Klumb [EMAIL PROTECTED]
