I assume that in alsamixer, at the bottom of each slide there should a "00" indication, not "MM", to indicate "open". The "master" and "PCM" (What is PCM?) were "00" and full on, but not the others. For good measure I changed them all to "00" and full on. I still could not open an audio CD or a newscast. I then exited my user and entered it again. As instructed I ran "aplay /usr/share/sound/alsa/*.wav" which returned the following: aplay: main:550: audio open error: Device or resource busy
1. Try kill artsd deamon if running... 2. from a root shell /etc/alsa reload 2. lsmod | grep snd, so you are sure that snd modules are loaded 4. cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio do you hear something? (white noise) 5. if you got xine installed (dvd video player) try a DVD, if sound doesn't work properly DVD's audio track is "piped" to a wav file (xine-out.wav or similar). A simple test but I think it's worth to try I find that strange, as the the CDROM drive was empty, nor could I see
any application open, except icedove and a terminal emulator.
Maybe audio device it's busy 'cause artsd it's locking it raffaele ps: did you googled around for your 'sound card + kernel support'
