of course your driver (ALSA in the kernel) is too old and does not know that hardware. > Any idea to make this integrated sound card work ? You need to update (at least) your ALSA driver. To do so either update the alsa driver or update your kernel as a whole (thus including newer alsa modules). Either case, you'll need to get some package off the development branches of Debian (Unstable/Sid or the current testing, "Lenny") and/or use backports. To update the kernel as a whole, check backports.org first; currently you may get kernel 2.6.24 (which includes ALSA ver. 1.0.15) from that repository. Please see http://www.backports.org for /etc/apt/source.list and /etc/apt/preferencs setup instructions, etc. To update the alsa driver (only): download alsa-source version 1.0.16 .deb package from Sid or Lenny, then: # dpkg -i alsa-source_1.0.16-1.1_all.deb # apt-get install module-assistant # m-a prepare # m-a a-i alsa check that everything went well; also check that # dpkg -l | grep "^alsa-" will show up the updated version (1.0.16) of alsa-source and alsa-modules. # reboot done. Another option is to upgrade to Lenny alltogether... Etch have got quite old now. Unless you have some good reasons to keep using it, perhaps it's better to switch over to Lenny, even if it have not been released yet... though running an unreleased distribution is not recommended for a newbie. ;-) Ciao, Paolo. -- Skype: Paolo.Saggese http://borex.lngs.infn.it/saggese You can still escape from the GATES of hell: Use Linux! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
