Hello all, I'm trying to get my SB Live to work with Debian 2.2 and ALSA. The ALSA that ships with Debian 2.2 doesn't appear to have the driver I need for the SB Live. So I have a few questions.
1. I directed apt to get stuff from the unstable branch which has an ALSA that has my driver. Unfortunately there were so many dependencies that kept popping up that I gave up -- at one point it just kept showing the same screen over and over regardless of what I selected. Has anybody succeeded in installing ALSA this way and how? Or has anyone succeeded in installing the newest ALSA using just dpkg? 2. Would it be better to just compile ALSA myself from the latest sources? I installed all the development packages that come up during the simple install, is there anything else to watch out for? 3. Or would it be easier to install sound support via the kernel sound drivers? Would this entail having to find the driver elsewhere? Thanks everyone for your help, David Bellows
