Have you given modconf a try? It makes module selection and loading trivial. > > Now... no /dev/dsp is there. This sounds more like a devfs problem than an ALSA one. Is there a /dev/sound/dsp device? If so, then the problem is you're not running devfsd, which is required to create symlinks from the legacy devices(/dev/dsp) to the new ones (/dev/sound/dsp). apt-get install devfsd, and see if that helps. > > Can anyone please advise what I am to do or what 'the debian > way' is here?

You will need some of the other packages, since they provide the userland tools like mixers and company. -rob -- I did not vote for the Australian government.
