I few weeks ago, I re-installed debian from scratch (blank partitions apart from my home directories).
One of the things I did was let debian totally find all my hardware. I have an SBLive, and it has installed the snd_emu10k1 (and related) modules automatically. However, I get no sound at all. I tried running from console mode (ie kdm was shutdown) as root music123 file.mp3 that I have, and no sound came out at all. The "other" operating system that I have installed for games has no problem with sound - so clearly all hardware, from sound card to speakers, is working. Looking at a linux sound howto says I should have /dev/audio - but udev (or whatever does it in debian) has not set that up. However it has set up a directory /dev/snd with a number of files in it. Is that the problem? What steps can I take to help diagnose my problem further? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
