Dave, I have sound working nicely on sunblade 100 debian/unstable using stock 2.6.13 kernel source from upstream the only configured change was to build module snd_ali5451. I suppose it should work with the debian kernels just use modprobe and make sure are soundcore and snd modules loaded too? See the list of dependencies below. For volume control I use the gnome desktop volume control set to ALI5451 Alsa Mixer and turn all the volume controls to minimum then try increase PCM and MASTER volume to get best results. It seems work fine with the oss mixer selected too. By the way it then works "out of the box" with vlc and mozilla plugins to play from some broadcast video streams (windows media is ok but not real) and mov files etc. and the sound effects (wav) from the desktop. But I could not get the Java Media Framework fully operating with gij and havent tried any different sounds such as mp3 yet. anything with xine will just crash. jim [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ooo680/sal$ lsmod Module Size Used by ipv6 286536 10 eth1394 23312 0 ohci1394 40016 0 ohci_hcd 20676 0 ieee1394 388520 2 eth1394,ohci1394 sungem 34180 0 sungem_phy 9728 1 sungem snd_ali5451 25064 2 snd_ac97_codec 96408 1 snd_ali5451 snd_pcm_oss 61856 1 snd_mixer_oss 19776 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 100425 3 snd_ali5451,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 27080 1 snd_pcm ide_cd 46024 0 cdrom 42600 1 ide_cd snd 58152 8 snd_ali5451,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11208 2 snd snd_page_alloc 12368 1 snd_pcm ext3 153104 3 jbd 60848 1 ext3 ide_disk 18752 5 ide_generic 1536 0 [permanent] alim15x3 13344 0 [permanent] generic 5764 0 [permanent] evdev 14336 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ooo680/sal$ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
