<p>Alan: </p> <hr /> <div>I hope that what I'm writing will be read by someone, preferably an<br /> ALSA expert.<br /> <br /> I am a longtime Linux user. Until three days ago I was using a very old<br /> Debian sarge. After some effort and help from sound experts, I had<br /> got my sound system working, back in February. My card is:<br /> via82xx VIA Technologies<br /> This last weekend -- Mar 22-23 -- I upgraded to etch. I performed the<br /> same drill<br /> apt-get install module-assistant<br /> module-assistant auto-install alsa-source<br /> that had worked for my sarge install. I have run alsamixer, to set<br /> my volume levels to high. aplay seems to run, on a variety of left-over<br /> .wav files. But no sound comes from my speakers!<br /> <br /> Suggestions? If any are made, please send them to my home E-address,<br /> alan@patriot.net.<br /> <br /> Alan McConnell<br /> <br /> (added 27 Mar 08, two days later) Following a suggestion from a Debian-users<br /> list member I ran alsaconf ; this asked me a couple of questions, ran placidly<br /> for several seconds . . . and now my sound is back. The responder on Debian-users<br /> opined that it was a question of modules being loaded into the kernel in the <br /> correct order . . .<br /> <br /> I would delete these two postings if I knew how to&lt;g&gt;. Perhaps some maintainer will<br /> do it in a while . . .</div>
