I found a few things that helped get sound working. (1) run alsa-config, assuming you're using also, of course. Sometime I had to rerun it every time I rebooted. (2) If you are running alsa, make sure you do *not* have any OSS drivers around. They can be blacklisted, or not installed, or whatever. Alsa's OSS emulator is OK, though. (3) When I upgraded to etch, the problems came back until I installed udev, discover, and hotplug. These jountly seemed to recognise all my hardware correctly and set up /dev. You probably don't need hotplug for sound, though (it recognised USB things). I mention it because I installed it at the same time, and you never know -- there might have been some arcane interaction. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
