do you need the OSS stuff? might it be that something is grabbing the resource there and hogging it? i also have a T61 and my /proc/asound/cards looks the same, but for some reason (maybe the lack of OSS), my /dev/sndstat has no Audio devices nor Mixers: # cat /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.16 emulation code) Kernel: Linux pride 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 8 18:25:23 UTC 2008 x86_64 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: HDA Intel at 0xfe020000 irq 17 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG My sound, however, *does* work. The Gnome volume applet sees it as "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)" just like yours. Make sure you're controlling the right device (File | Change Device) Let me know if there are other comparative things i can post to help. --Rob -- /-------------------------------------------------------------\ | "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" | | --Jimmy Buffett, | | "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" | \-------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
