I have just re-installed Wheezy/Testing/Xfce on my production computer. Te action was caused by a HD failure. The sound was working before the disaster.
The problem is that the sound is not working at this point, other that clicking noises as the system is booting. lspci -v as a user gave me (in part): 01:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1938/ES1946/ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive (rev 01) Subsystem: ESS Technology Solo-1 Audio Adapter Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 I/O ports at e080 [size=64] I/O ports at e000 [size=16] I/O ports at dc00 [size=16] I/O ports at d880 [size=4] I/O ports at d800 [size=4] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: snd_es1938 I assume (always dangerous of course) that the next to the last line is the problem. I would appreciate a pointer to the solution. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
