I've installed potato on my laptop (NEC VersaNote VX), later upgraded to sid. Trying to get the sound working, I've also upgraded the kernel 2.2.19 to the last release 2.4.18 via dselect using the appropriate debianized kernel image.
The audio support is installed as a module in the kernel, and lspci gives 00:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82440MX AC'97 Audio Controller for the audio device. After some investigation I discovered that the right module to load should be i810_audio, so using modconf I loaded sound, soundcore and i810_audio. The last one automatically loaded also the ac97_codec module. Looking the output of lsmod it seemd all OK, so I tested the installation sending some sound files to the sound devices. For example I issued the following commands: cat endoftheworld >/dev/dsp cat crash.au >/dev/audio The result is a bit puzzling for me. The sound card seems to reproduce all of the files at a very fast speed. Can anyone help me?
