Package: debian-reference There's no mention in debian-reference on how to get sound working. With Etch with 2.6 kernel with udev it really isn't much but if a newbie doesn't choose a full whopping desktop environment its not clear how to do it.
I suggest something like: ------ To get sound working, install the packages alsa-base, alsa-utils, and alsaplayer-common and all their dependancies. Once installed, as root run alsaconf. Adjust mixer settings with alsamixer or you can install a graphical mixer program for e.g. gnome. If you want to play media, install a media player e.g. vlc. If this doesn't work, subscribe to the debian-user mailing list and post questions there. ----- Thanks, Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
