Hello, fellow Debian users:
After a recent upgrade of my testing system, some sound apps work
(xmms, eg) and others (in particular, xfce4-mixer) do not, complaining
that there is no alsa device. My sound driver - for the ESS
maestro chip in my laptop - is compiled into the kernel. (As an
aside, I tried recompiling, with the driver as a module, but 2.4.27
gave errors using both gcc-3.3 and gcc-4.0; that's odd, because I've
successfully compiled it with gcc-3.3 several times before.)
I installed alsa-utils and ran alsaconf, but it found no PnP, PCI, or
legacy drivers! (I thought perhaps it didn't like drivers in the
kernel, which is why I tried to recompile.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Patrick
